Oh Bouy we’re changing course AGAIN

Oh bouyAs you can see by our banner sail up overhead, we here at the good ship Rhodester have been compelled to change course once again.

This is due to the stormy weather that we’ve been encountering, which has had us bobbing up and down and swirling around in a daze. That’s what happens when one sails right into the tempest.

There are other ships that are larger and more powerful, which are better equipped for the voyage we’d so foolishly embarked on, which was to maintain a blog dedicated entirely to writing about San Francisco.

We’ve discovered that it’s difficult to write about San Francisco when one can’t actually get out and about IN San Francisco that often, despite one’s living here.

So we need to leave that to the sailors who actually have a job that pays the bills who can get out into the city in their spare time, or to the full-time sailors who have full-time blogs dedicated to the city and they make a living at it.

We’ve been bobbing along seeking the island of self-sufficiency for quite some time, but so far it’s eluded us and in the meantime, the tempest swells.

Whatever that means. But we know it’s bad.

So we’ve decided to go back to writing about anything that strikes our fancy, because we can do that from the safety of our deck cabin. We’ll still write about San Francisco when we happen to go ashore once in a while, but in the meantime we’ll write about subjects like Miley Cyrus, UFOs and wombats, and sometimes we’ll even try to cleverly tie those things in together.

For example, did you hear about Miley Cyrus getting abducted by a UFO and they replaced her with a singing wombat? It’s true! The good news is, the wombat has more talent and looks better in a skirt.

You might think we’re kidding but the truth is that when she smoked salvia, for a few brief, shining moments she actually thought she WAS a singing wombat.

See how much more fun that is than talking about the homeless people around here? That’s what we were saddled with because we live in a cheap hotel in downtown San Francisco, so whenever we run errands that’s pretty much what we come back with; stories of homeless people.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. God bless ‘em.

And their singing wombats.

Lot of salvia floatin’ around on the streets these days.

So there you have it. We’ve once again dropped anchor in satire cove, so if you’d like to go for a swim then just don your RSS shorts and dive in.

Don’t forget to use the safety flotation device that’s shaped like a bookmark.

And whatever you do, don’t let the spam sharks get you.

Carry on.

I like your Wombat Miley picture lol!

My favorite part of the post is “The good news is, the wombat has more talent and looks better in a skirt.” … I’m not sure that either of those (the talent or looking better in a skirt) are too difficult though.

Poor Miley. She tries so hard and yet here we are, comparing her to a marsupial.
