Long Live Samuel Clemens
Go see
The Beat Museum. If you are going to
City Lights, it's right across the way, over on Broadway.
You'll see it. Kerouac and Neal Cassady are painted
on the side of it, bigger than life, looking directly at City Lights.
It's free to go in. The tour is a couple of bucks, meh.
And the Proprietor is Jerry Cimino.
Tell Jerry Father Luke said hi if you make
it in there.
If you're nice, he'll tell you all sorts of stories.
San Francisco is polluted with places to eat. Odd.
I've been hustled to buy drugs, buy sex, buy this,
buy that. It wasn't until I got to S.F. as a tourist
that I was hustled to buy food. ;) Seriously.
The tip about the coat was shrewd. Remember
what Mark Twain said about the Summers in San Francisco.
He is remembered because he was funny, but more importantly
because he was wise. Maybe because he was a wise ass.
I can't remember.
I was a bicycle messenger in S.F.
during the summer.
Bring a coat.

Okay,
Father Luke
