Prov.14:15
"The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going."

“In 1707 the silver-mining town of Zacatecas, which lay near the center of Mexico, was excited by an announcement that would convert their drowsy rural place into a city of some importance.

‘The Franciscans are finally going to build a college here!’ran the rumors. ‘We’re to be headquarters for all the north.’ ‘They’ve started to dig!’”~~~James A. Michener: TEXAS, Ch2 The Mission

 Don’t you miss the days when Karl the Fog used to greet us every morning? Now his cousin, Jeffrey the Rain, has taken what feels like a permanent pitstop over the city. But it’s hard to complain about rainy weather (because, yes, we need it), and the bright side is that it makes for a perfect excuse to cozy up with a good book this weekend.

San Francisco has been home to many great writers throughout the decades, and at the same time, its charm has also inspired many writers to make it the backdrop of their novels. While many people think Jack Kerouac’s On the Road is the only San Francisco classic, in fact it’s only one of many.
