Lots of rain in San Francisco. And snow in the Sierras. Happy New Year. We found a nice spot to sit through a leisurely lunch, even though it took some wet walking. Pelted with rain. But BART works good. Wonderful soul food at Brenda’s, and a great place to enjoy a stormy day.

Brenda’s French Soul Food. Nice menu, great food.

Taking care of business at Brenda’s.

Oakland West. Open air, after the trip under the Bay.
