Hello Lolly

What do you mean, you didn't know it was National Lollipop Day?!  Please pay more attention to events of global importance.  We celebrated by heading into San Francisco to claim free lollipops from See's Candy (who may have invented the day in the first place).

More excitingly, they'd brought the biggest lollipop in the world to the city!  It's 17 feet tall - including stick - and weighs 7,000 lbs.  Unfortunately it was lying down, so could not be appreciated in all its glory.  It was also, suspiciously, kept in its wrapper, so might just be a big gold cardboard box, although Guinness had apparently come and verified it for their records.

You may also be interested to hear that 21st is National Junk Food Day, 25th is National Hot Fudge Sundae Day, and 29th is National Lasagna Day.  I don't make this stuff up.


Pretty large, especially when you consider that my mother is 6'4".


Tourists caught on camera once again.


Enjoying a nice cup of Blue Bottle coffee.  You can clearly see that I'm adopted.
