Wacky Wednesday

Happy Halloween from the Greyhound!

Don't you think the greyhound is going to be the hit at tonight's costume party?

Happy Wednesday!

Wacky Wednesday

It's been a foggy summer...I'll share more on that next week.
Did you know that the San Francisco fog has his own instagram and twitter accounts?  I am especially partial to his instagram account.

It has made me truly appreciate Karl, knowing that summer has been so damp simply because he loves San Francisco so much.  He's got some great selfies in his feed.

Get to know @KarlTheFog a bit better with some of my favorite pics and captions: here, here, here, and here.

Enjoy--and have a great Wednesday!

The greyhound is getting married!

On a related note, we are getting so excited to celebrate a very special wedding this weekend.  Can't wait!

Happy Wednesday!

This made me smile today:

while you're at it, ignore the cigarette, too.

Happy Wednesday!

It has been a little while since the Greyhound stopped by to show off her latest fashion.
A head scarf--perfect for the sunny and breezy weather today.

Happy Wednesday!

Wacky Wednesday: St. Patrick's Day Edition

Happy St. Patrick's Day from the greyhound!

And a happy Wednesday to you.

Her hat seems very Valentine's Day appropriate!

The greyhound's latest style:

Last April I posted the first greyhound getup.  She has debuted twelve additional party hats since that day.

Happy Wednesday!

Several months ago we got our first glance of a mustached car, and it made us laugh at San Francisco's weirdness.  But lately we've been seeing more and more hot pink mustaches on cars, and we finally found out this was not just a trendy claire's hipster product.

Turns out, the mustaches signal participation in a {poorly advertised} taxi-like rideshare program.  More here.

Despite the explanation, it's still wacky.

Happy Wednesday!

The greyhound didn't seem to get the memo that San Francisco is having a bit of a cold spell.

At least she has her fancy sequined hat.

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!


Our flight from San Francisco to Paris back in October left at 7am.  We were up that morning well before sunrise in order to get to the airport early, and before leaving, I cut up every last piece of fruit in the house and packed the make-shift fruit salad into a gallon-size ziploc to eat throughout the morning.  It was a little unusual, but it worked.

Then I noticed THIS across the terminal:

Is that...?

A watermelon.  A whole, uncut watermelon.  The guy carried it like a baby through the terminal, no big deal.

Then my next glimpse:

A watermelon for two.  Excellent terminal breakfast.
(I wonder what comments he got bringing it through security?)

Puts my gallon-ziploc fruit salad to shame.

Happy Wacky Wednesday.

The greyhound is getting into the holiday spirit!

Happy Wednesday!

I can't believe I once thought the greyhound ran out of hats.  She has proved me wrong repeatedly!

Note: The greyhound has gained a bit of popularity.  I recently learned that one of you searched all over San Francisco for our greyhound friend!  She must be hiding...

I know Paris is a fashionable city, but these shoes we spotted in a store window are over the top.

Also wacky: the price tag.  These suckers are $790!  (€620)

Have a great Wednesday, everyone!

I hope you are as pleased as I was to find out that the French have plenty of odd tendencies that are appropriate for Wacky Wednesday features.  Enjoy!

We tried plenty of tasty treats on our vacation, but these below did not make our list.

 Yep, those are French macarons, which are usually sweet meringue-based treats baked in flavors like chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and caramel with a filling of buttercream or jam.

Above, we have the following "creative" savory flavors:

Foie gras (fattened duck liver), fig, and speck (like proscuitto)
Salmon, trout eggs, and dill
Foie gras and truffle
Foie gras and spice bread
Foie gras and confit of onions
Chocolate, foie gras, and chili pepper


Yum?


Happy Wacky Wednesday!

The greyhound knows Halloween is right around the corner!  

Masquerade Ball, anyone?

Happy Wacky Wednesday!

I guess the typically-feminine greyhound wanted to go military today.

Happy Wacky Wednesday!

In keeping with the Wacky Wednesday theme, today I want to share something I pass by everyday on my walk to work.

This is a doorbell outside one of the fancy houses I pass. 

Separate buttons for if you are summoning "the kids" or "the parents."

Now that is wacky.

Happy Wednesday, everyone.

When the greyhound heard me say last week that summer was almost over, she was quick to retort there's still 1 week remaining for summer swims.  Then she donned her pink swim cap.

Happy Wacky Wednesday!

*For anyone new: this greyhound poses in the window of a vintage clothing store that I pass on the way to work each morning.  Click here to see my documentation of her eclectic hat collection.

It may be the end of summer, but it's still swimsuit season according to the greyhound.

Happy Wacky Wednesday!
