It finally got to me. I moved away one fine July day when the wind was howling and temp felt like winter. The other thing that happened on our first year in SF was the Jim Jones Guiina mass suicide by Kool Aid. For a city so health conscious, it was surprising that Kool Aid and Twinkies were so popular.
