100 degrees

I don't do well in heat. It's been hovering over 100 degrees since I got here. YUCK.
A nice place to visit, but this place has changed. It's lost the younger life'd crowd in the last 10 years...ousted by high home prices and the gawdy gentrification that comes with the all-too-familiar Californication. (I don't say younger "aged" since age is not very related to how "young" you are in my opinion. But alas, that's another rant.)

Larkspur is now wholeheartedly ruled by the upper middle class (rich by most standards) well-to-do predominantly white family. As an example, the Silver Peso used to be a biker bar (read: Harleys) where bar fights used to be commonplace. Mixing of the incomes and generations occurred and now we've entered a new error. Growing up here, I was banned from going within 100feet of that bar. Now it's the place to go for a drink with all the local yuppies. I'm sure there's a nice middle-ground in there some where. Maybe around 10-15 years ago when the bikers of all types were there, as well as the long-term local stoners from Madrone Canyon, and all the others that hadn't been kicked out by the insane cost of living yet. The main drag where the old mom and pop Rainbow Market used to sit is now full of "quaint" Boutique shops that entice you to by things you don't need or feed you some tiny California cuisine that ends up leaving you hungry and pissed that you just paid $20 for it. Speaking of money, it's $4.70/gallon here for regular unleaded but some how everyone doesn't seem affected. In Boulder I notice a ton more people riding bikes to work and taking the busses, but not here. I read that the Ford F-150 has lost it's place on the top to the Honda Civic in the US. Wow! Things do seem to change quickly when it hits people in the pocket book...but why does it take such "extreme" circumstances to change, or just do what's right? I don't know, but it's freaking HOT all i can dream about is this:
