My pal Eric, aka EW, aka Aaron Cheats, aka Grammar Crank, wrote a neat piece for The Press Democrat about the Olympic torch relay that broke out in the middle of a San Francisco protest on Tuesday. A good part of it happened just outside his front door.
Seemingly destined to spend yet another day recuperating in our apartment, we were resigned to watching history happen on TV as the Olympic torch relay was to make its way a mile or so away along San Francisco’s waterfront amid a crowd of thousands — hardly the ideal setting for a pair of sick people.
But when we saw that the torch had been diverted stealthily to Van Ness Avenue, where it would pass within blocks of us, we conferred, shrugged our shoulders, threw on our jackets and hurried to catch an unexpected peek at San Francisco’s controversial guest.
