Organic Panificio
Friday, 25 April 2008
We want to welcome the new restaurant opening in the neighborhood. 

The Organic Panificio opened up in the location of the former Harbor House and Edies Diner.  It looks like a good addition to the Marina, and based on their attempts to reach out to the local clientele, we want to help them establish themselves.  It looks like it's getting good reviews already.  We look forward to eating there after practice.

SF Oil Spill
Tuesday, 20 November 2007


Support the people who are leading the charge to clean up the oil spill:
Surfrider Foundation
www.killthespill.org
www.surfridersmc.org



From Surfrider Foundation :
"Last week tragedy struck California when 58,000 gallons of heavy bunker fuel spilled into the San Francisco Bay. Over the last 10 days, the spill has spread outside the confines of the bay and along the coast, closing at least 16 beaches and fouling environmentally sensitive areas such as the Point Reyes National Seashore.

Over 1000 birds have been found saturated with fuel and hundreds have died. The spill continues to threaten dozens of species of shorebirds, along with fish, harbor seals, porpoises and California sea lions. Governor Schwarzenegger has declared a state of emergency for the area and suspended the opening of crab fishing season and all fishing in the areas affected by the spill.

Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this catastrophe is how slowly it took for officials to respond. San Francisco residents were shocked that oil was all over the beach and no one was there cleaning it up.
