Warm Weather = Best Beaches to Play Hooky Post
Ok, let's see. You all have a little less than an hour or so to fake early symptoms of bubonic plague, whopping cough, or fibromyalgia. See, start now so when you call in sick tomorrow or on Thursday, your story will sound seamless to your boss. What are we talking about? Why, we're talking about playing hooking and hitting the beach. Because it's hot. Damn hot.
See, over the next few days, the Bay Area will experience some God-awful, vile, and disgusting unseasonably warm weather. (Really, Thursday?) And since most of you are in California, you're pretty much obligated to hit the sands, timecards and business meetings be damned.
71Miles' John Vlahides, thank God, has info on which Bay Area beaches are best for frolicking this week. He has word on California’s only state-sanctioned nude beach, the best places for barbecuing (excuse me, foodies -- grilling), an area of San Francisco's infamous Baker Beach where you can tan nude (but "pack a slingshot to ward off the slack-jawed boys spying from the cliff tops," he recommends), SFist favorite Montara State Beach (tide pools!!!), and detailed info on the many sections of shore up and down the Bay Area's coast.
For more information on cooling off techniques this week, and for the entire summer for that matter, visit 71Miles here.

allergys...say you got some BAD allergy's
claritin! or wal-itin (or whatever walgreen's version is.)
and local bee pollen in your tea works too, or so we've heard.
Actually, recently I've become enamored with Zyrtec. It doesn't do so well against my girlfriend's cats, but for hayfever it's magic.
Try a Neti-pot and irrigate your sinuses. But I agree with the magic of Zyrtec. I use it on occasion.
Actually this isn't horribly hot weather. This is the pleasant, warm, spring weather enjoyed by just about every other part of the country this time of year. Why oh why does San Francisco have to take away my beloved warmth? Why do I need to keep the heat on all year and have a summer coat?
Tonight I walked outside in a t-shirt without a coat. It was amazing. It was beautiful. It was, for a moment, like we actually had normal, enjoyable weather like those bastards down south get.
If you want to walk around without a coat at night, you're living in the wrong city pal. Quit your bitching and move to SoCal. Sorry to be so cranky, BUT I'M JUST SO DAMN HOT!
