Obama's People - The New York Times

The change we need | Comment is free | The Guardian

Fort Funston
Part of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, one of my favourite places in SF is Fort Funston, especially on a 60ºF sunny Sunday like today. It's a fantastic place to take Bacon & Clyde. They run around off-leash with lots of other dogs in a lovely sandy area next to the Pacific.

My absolute favouritist thing to do in SF on a sunny day: Fort Funston with the bassets.
