Astronical Event on 26th of October Boulevard






For years, Plotnik and Ducknik have walked down 26th of October Boulevard (formerly Sanchez Street) and passed an innocuous but curious line painted on the sidewalk: "Solstice Sun Crack Returns." Yesterday was the day. The Great Plotnik and The Great Ducknik gathered with half a dozen neighborhood citizens and watched the lady beat the drum and the other lady light the sage and the guy in the hat play the Peruvian percussion and then, zingo! The light arrived, right on schedule, and lit up the Boulevard. It's quite a feeling to be part of an astronomical event and then go home and eat breaded veal cutlets.

I'm not sure about setting the sage on fire or the Peruvian percussion (what's with your Peruvian kick anyway - do you need to make a trip there soon?), but I love the idea of this event.

I don't understand why it is not a holiday.

I was so ignorant of this event ~ so San Francisco, isn't it? Or?
