Hi everyone! So here I am in San Francisco, alive, well, not having; crashed the car, picked up a hitch hiker (or an escaped convict), been eaten by a bear, wolf or mountain lion (did you know you were supposed to fight back if such an event attempted to occur?), gored by a buffalo or given myself food poisoning.
