Olympic Torch in SF

BUT nowhere to be seen. With the previous two stops for the Olympic torch having violence, San Francisco prepared for the same to occur in this historically liberal, protest friendly city. But we were all duped as the torch route was changed at the last minute to boring ole Vanness St. I had walked down to where the route was supposed to be and hung around for an hour as large groups of people walked along the route either protesting or supporting the Olympics in China. I was disappointed to not get a glimpse and after an hour decided it was time to head back to work. The closing ceremony is supposedly a couple blocks away but I'm not going to bother checking it out. So I guess the torch did make its stop in America but because of all the protests the people that got to see it were either the cops guarding it or those who just happened to be on Vanness street. Oh well, maybe next time...
