My new telescope can see Twin Peaks

My new telescope can see all the way to Twin Peaks and the new Sutro Tower!

Cashed a check and went to Sears on Geary Blvd. for towels, dishes and everything else needed for a new place.

Like the lady who waited on me. Not hard on the eyes and she knew everything needed to set up a place. Almost like Mom helping me out. I miss her. Did I really write that?

Bought a tri-pod mounted telescope for the bay window. To the west: Twin Peaks, the new Sutro Tower, and the old KGO transmitter. To the east, I can see all the way across San Francisco Bay to Berkeley.

I can see the Berkeley Campus and Memorial Stadium.

Wanted to call my girlfriend Erica  to help me christen the place while checking out the city in front of a roaring fire.

But I don’t have a phone. Closest pay phone is at the shopping center a couple blocks away. The place is a mess right now, anyway.

Wonder what adventures this place has in store for me. And how long I’ll live here?
