You know of my love for "Tales of the City" and its author Armistead Maupin.
SFGate has this lovely story about the real Barbary Lane (actually Macondray Lane, hidden but public if you know where to look.)
The story also features the neighbors who keep up all the hidden lanes of Russian Hill in San Francisco.

Here are two articles on #reading that deserve to be re-tooted not just boosted:
Personally, I read a lot, just not #books.
I'm on the Net everyday reading articles like these (and others), as well as news published by the #NYT, the #SFChronical & #SFGate, as well as those published by other smaller independent news agencies in SF, like #MissionLocal, #SFist and #The Voice but, while I still buy them, I seldom take the time to read books lately.
Why? I'm not sure but spending time on the Net has a lot to do with it because when I read a book, it's usually while listing to #music out of my #vinyl or #CD collection, which I also haven't been doing much lately.
So, I think it's time to start listening to music & reading books again.

Calif. cannabis farm breaks silence weeks after deadly ICE raid
By Lester Black, Cannabis editor, Aug 4, 2025
Glass House Brands released its first public comment Monday since the California company faced a violent raid from federal authorities last month that left one man dead and hundreds arrested.
On July 10, federal agents searched two of the company’s Southern California cultivation facilities — one in Ventura County and one in Santa Barbara County — in an operation that quickly descended into chaos. Officers fired tear gas inside the facilities and searched for immigrants as hundreds of protesters gathered outside to protest the Donald Trump administration’s action. One worker fell from a green house and later died, marking the first known death in Trump’s immigration crackdown.
Following the raid, the Department of Homeland Security announced it had arrested at least 361 people suspected of being in the country illegally, as well as 14 “migrant children,” although the agency hasn’t shared any court documentation behind those figures.
Glass House, one of California’s largest legal cannabis companies, had not issued any public comment in the weeks following the raid other than a post to X on July 11 confirming it was being raided.
On Monday, the company broke its silence with a news release that outlined details of the operation, including that nine company employees were detained or arrested. The company said any other people arrested would have been employed by farm labor companies that provide employees for the farm, which is a common practice at agricultural facilities.
AI image created for post…Glass House said that it has not been able to determine the identities of the alleged minors but said that if minors were at the facility “none of them were Glass House employees.”
There has been widespread fear in the cannabis industry that federal agents could have been conducting a much broader operation investigating the cultivation of marijuana itself, which is still federally illegal and could lead to federal criminal charges against the company and its staff. Video apparently taken during the raid and posted to social media showed a federal agent saying, “This is not an immigration raid.”
Monday’s news release countered that narrative, saying the raid was led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and that the search warrant was authorized specifically for “evidence of possible immigration violations.” Glass House said that “very few documents were seized pursuant to the search warrant.”

This part of Drew Magary's review of Ridley Scott's 'Napoleon' in sfgate.com had me thinking of Trump...
"Is the main character a powerful, difficult man that you could imagine yourself being?
NO. This Napoleon is not cool. He is not a badass. He deftly wins wars and uses all of his wiles to assert his dominion over France, but he is also an enormous f—king baby. Maybe the biggest baby in world history. He abandons his soldiers when he finds out his wife is cheating on him. He demands that same wife declare, out loud, that she’s nothing without him. He stages a coup d’etat by running away from the very men he’s intent on overthrowing, and then hiding behind his goons. He’s an awful lay. He’s short (this is handled with the proper amount of subtlety). And he insists on wearing a stupid hat all hours of the day."#RidleyScott #Napoleon #DrewMagary #sfgate #movies
