Creating a Safer Environment on 19th Avenue

This is just a place holder for what I hope will be a better picture, but if you look closely, you'll see that yesterday, Tuesday, November 20th, just before I left the house for my environmental science class, the San Francisco Public Works people closed two lanes of 19th Avenue so they could place plants--plants that are, I assume, succulents, but which look like pineapples!  I'd love to have pineapples growing on 19th Avenue and I'd promise to almost never pick them for an upside cake.  Anyway, whatever these plants turn out to be, it'll be nice to have something other than dirt or concrete.

I need to do some serious writing today, but I'll be back tomorrow, when the topic might be Buy Nothing Friday.
