Fresh Foot Traffic: Got Boots?
Boots. What other item of foot ware pulls such partisan support, draws such devotees, fosters such fans? Polished, dirty, engineer, cowboy, motorcycle. Leather. Boots. These boots were made for walking. These boots were made for licking. These boots were made for dancing on the head of a pin. Got Boots? Post Pics in GH comments!

London Riddled with Puzzling Enigmas! …and other San Francisco Street Sites Seen
No sexy guys in this one. But some street art. And some signage. And strange mise en abyme headlines. And plants and where they grow in cities. And even a little negative Obama-Rama. For more on that, click here.
Sights Seen at Folsom Street Fair
Beautiful weather for this year’s Folsom Street Fair brought out the bare skin and the bear skins, the otter skins and plenty of marked up, cut, whipped, scarred and inked skins of every color. The sun shone on all. It was a good year for garden parties, with Donna Sachet‘s Castro district annual and Mike McNamee’s patio BBQ at Stomper’s Boots bookending Rob Ford’s birthday at the Howard Langton Community Garden. A fine Folsom all around.

Dunn on the Farm: “God Bless All Marriages” – A Report from the Stanford Daily.
Aidan Dunn celebrates Judge Vaughn Walker's decision to overturn Proposition 8 yesterday.
The Stanford Daily, which has been breaking news from the Farm since 1892, reports on yesterday’s ruling by federal judge Vaughn Walker that found California’s Proposition 8 banning same-sex marriages unconstitutional. Daily reporters interviewed Stanford religious studies student Aidan Dunn, class of 2011.
“Today is a great day,” Dunn said. “For me personally, it means that someday I might be able to marry the person that I love. What I hope it means for the community is that we start fighting for more queer and social justice issues.” For the rest of the story, visit the Stanford Daily online. [Photo courtesy Aidan Dunn]
