Ever wonder what the favorite quote of Antonio Gaudi is of the chief architect of the Sagrada Familia? Or why there are turtles holding the church up or why they built a hands on school for the children of the makers? I won’t tell.

Oh Santiago Calatrava you had me at “set design for some sort of futuristic film from the early 70s that looks like it’s made by @midjourney.bsky.social but is actually too beautiful & real to be anything but the work of thousands of artisans & ceramic craftspeople & a city who dreams.”

Damn my friend got into the cylinders of laughing gas and hydrogen I keep in the backyard and floated off towards the Golden Gate Bridge. If you see him tell him he forgot his sweater at our house! He was squeaking something but I couldn’t hear it. Sigh. Fridays in #SanFrancisco
