Not all back right away

Our schedule has slowly been shifting back to Pacific Daylight. In the meanwhile, we have been able to explore our neighborhood at times of day heretofore inaccessible. A few nights ago, we got up at 3:30am and roamed the streets of North Beach and Chinatown. We followed the sound of crowing roosters to a poultry shop with live birds where someone was unloading cages to be cleaned. We had passable macaroni salad in a 24 hour coffee and donut shop. Later, we found a Vietnamese place open far past their posted 2am closing time where we had a bowl of pho. We walked by police and shop owners dealing with a smashed window. The guys in the foccacia bakery were having some sort of argument, and I could certainly sympathize with being cranky that early. By the time we rounded Washington Square park the last time, the sky was getting brighter and a few old Chinese women had come out to start their morning exercise routines.
