I love San Francisco, but the story about why so many escalators at the BART’s Civic Center station have been out-of-service has left me shaking my head and a little sick to my stomach.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported last week when a repair team opened up one broken escalator earlier this summer they discovered so much human feces they had to call in a hazardous materials team. Yes,  you read that correctly, human poop has been breaking the escalators.  Apparently the area surrounding many BART stations are popular camping spots for many of the city’s homeless population and they are to blame for turning these stations into urban septic tanks (yuck).

So to all my friends in San Francisco, I wanted to suggest possibly pinching your nose the next time you find yourself taking an BART station escalator.

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been tweeting about the disarray of my apartment during our remodeling.  I owe my good friend Sergio (another Sergio – not my other half) and Pierre much thanks for letting us shack up at their home during the worst of the construction.

The painters are finally finishing today we are busy cleaning (I had no idea how much of a mess flooring and painting would cause). The next step is purchasing a couple new pieces of furniture. The process will be gradual, but we wasted no time purchasing our new sofa “The Carmichael” from GUS furniture as shown above.
