Photo obtained from earthobservatory.nasa.gov This natural-color image of Northern California was captured on June 26, 2008, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite. Places where MODIS detected active fires are outlined in red. Thick smoke hangs over the Sacramento Valley, although the city of Redding is visible for the first time in several days. Good for you, Redding. You have something to be proud of now!......

Taken at the Civic Center station, this (bloodied) gentleman came off an inbound train early this morning and collapsed. Anyone know what happened? Is he OK? Poor guy.......

Photo by Jim Herd Today's election day, kids. Remember to get out there and vote, etcetera, etcetera, and so forth. That said, is Migden wearing a Rachael Ray terrorist scarf? Sort of? Maybe? A derivative of it at least? We like it.......

Citizen SF snapped up this bit of automotive gold. And holy smokes! You'll never guess who was driving this, "The first Lexus LS 460h L hybrid luxury sedan to arrive in San Francisco."...

Looks like there was, in fact, a blaze at AT&T Park last night. And a sizable one at that. SFist reader Ted (i.e., phish223) sent in this on-the scene shot of the fiery action. Read more about it here.......

This lovely photo of the political poster wall on Valencia near 24th St. captured by Seven Morris comes to us via the "found" and "sfist" tags. Apparently the wall got "hijacked" for Prisoner Awareness Day last Tuesday. Here's what the wall looked like last July, courtesy of tlong. We love the layers and layers. See photos of a much sparser wall that we shot back in June of 2005, after the jump! Submit your......

Don't forget: famed photog, Annie Leibovitz, has an exhibit opening at the Legion of Honor tomorrow, which runs through May 25. The show runs the gamut from her professional stuff -- you know, the images of Cindy Crawford with a snake; a nude Demi Moore with fetus; and Chris Rock with top hat -- to some of her more personal works. Do stop by, won't you? Also, she was in town today to promote......

As if you needed further proof to confirm that Pisces are batshit insane, leap year babies cum serial killers Aileen Wuornos (who would have been 52) and Richard "the Night Stalker" Ramirez (who turns 48) both share a birthday today. Aw. Thanks, Tendernob, for the macabre fact finding.......

Since we'd hate to give this year's most alarmist story its own post, for fear the pandemonium will spread, we'll just stick up a nifty little shot of a python and tell you this: it's coming for you.......

Hi readers! Scavenger hunt time. Can you send us a photo of a Muni driver on a cell phone? We'll be your best friend if you do. Y'see, a friend of SFist is working on a super-cool Muni-related video project and asked us for some help; and so we're dutifully passing the buck along to you. If you already have a photo of drivers with phones: great! And if you don't: could you keep......

Remember Vawanda? The Muni bus driver whose bravery many of you refused to believe in? Well, as fate would have it, local treasure Jameth, who uses her ad image as an avatar, finally found her! Driving the 47-Van Ness with aplomb and nerves of steel, she even has her testimonial poster next her. Nothing short of adorable, folks. Great find, Jameth.......

We shamelessly stole today's photo of the day from SF Metblogs. It was reportedly taken at the Ferry Building's farmers market. And while we can imagine such a gruesome display occurring in more exotic parts of the city, we always thought this kind of scene was better hidden at downtown's farmers market. Tsk, tsk. Shameful.

Frank Chu gets all of the glory, but what about this guy? He's just as endearing, if not more so. Just because his narrative lacks some silly sci-fi bent, doesn't mean he's not as special, you guys. We demand a nightclub named in his honor by year's end. Whoever he is. Image credit: Omega it's jameth......

An ancient (and, of course, alleged) shot of our favorite graduate of Standford Business School cum First Lady of San Francisco necking with Dr. Doug Ross, circa 2002. The two of them, it seems, used to date. Aw. Aside from being "chased on foot by a crocodile, lion and elephant while living in Botswana," has anything bad ever happened to Siebel? No? Just checking. Update: It seems Jennifer did suffer a family tragedy at......
