I realized I never wrote about our northern California trip in September!
Cadillac went with me to an event and we also audited a bunch of offices. I don’t mean we– he did– I sat in the car.
We managed to sneak in a side trip to San Francisco. Actually, we went there twice– Cadillac had to come back and look at an office on Monday. Or was it Tuesday? It was really quite a long road trip.

These next are City Hall and stuff like that. It looks pretty in the pics. When we walked through, though, there were homeless people shouting, “Fuck you!” at each other. Not because they were going to fight– I think they felt like shouting it.
