Sometimes we forget there's the rest of the world out there. Thanks for reminding us.

Tank Hill is in San Francisco.
There are these wonderful things called "search engines" on the "World Wide Web" which is part of this thing called the "Internet" where you can plug in words like "Tank Hill" and get an answer almost instantaneously!
It's quite amazing but not too many people know about them.

Lay off, Zebob. Could it possibly be that Kate MAY have been trying to start some conversation? Jeez. Smartass.

What is a "search engine"?

And by the way, I've lived an hour from SF for about twenty-five years and until now, never heard of Tank Hill.
Nice photo, by the way.

Beautiful blue sky... my son's eyes are practically that exact same color. The blue is so peaceful and the picture is so crisp. You are quite talented.
Get ready to be amazed because I, too, know about the internet and I plugged in smartass and I received my answer almost instantaneously- zebob.

At the risk of inciting more snark, what is the mound of dirt in the middle of the picture? Sorry, I mean in the middle of the be-yoo-tiful picture?
Nice work Dooce.

Good question about the mound of dirt - what the hell is it? And yeah - way too much snarkyness going on here - its not like a hurricane is going to hit you people tomorrow or anything you know - chill out.

Beautiful photo. Love the sky :)

Dammit, now I have the "Rice-a-Roni' theme song in my head.

It's a postcard. The caption should read "Greetings From". Well done.

Ahhh San Francisco, thanks zebob I didn't know where the hell 'Tank Hill' was :)

The mound of dirt is an open space park called Bernal Hill. Lots bigger than it looks in the picture. It's a very popular place to walk dogs.

I'd like to add some more snark into this mix. That "mound of dirt" is precisely why I haven't yet removed my heart thereby giving San Francisco the chance to claim it. As a matter of fact, the idea of returning there next week sort of makes me want to throw up.
That mound of dirt is a hill. I live between two of them. They are green for (I hear) a month out of the year.
(I drank too much Maker's Mark last night. Please note the hangover induced sarcasm.)

That's gorgeous. But what is that big mound of dirt in the middle?
09.24.04 - 05:52 AM / 20Beth said:
LOL!!!

Nice composition - I like the one red house in the lower left-center of the picture.

I am learning all kinds of stuff about San Francisco today!
Great picture!

I find it very amusing to see these pictures of places I've been (like Tank Hill and the Apple Store in Emeryville/SF)... especially since I am a fool and never take a camera with me to the city. That is a very pretty picture. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit (I know it was awhile ago).
09.24.04 - 06:17 AM / 25Sarah said:
Nice picture. Makes me want to travel.
By the way, the comments today are cracking me up. Hee, hee.

That is one of my favorite places in the entire universe. I used to sit on Tank Hill at night when I was lonely and look out at all the lights and across the bay and somehow feel better. What a great memory. Thanks for posting this photo.

every place deserves a tank hill. mary - i had past moments in my life where i'm sure a tank hill would have been useful. you definitely are a lucky gal to have been smart enough to use such a lovely scene.
i love photo's like these...
