  2. Ugh, that's a great point - great, but sad. Emissions here are the pits!

  3. I couldn't agree more. People might leave their hearts in SF, but I left part of my soul here my first visit. And unlike a horcrux (is that spelled right?)leaving pieces of you here and there does not make you invincible, but vulnerable.
