The next day is Election Day and El Dia de Los Muertos. Hundreds of thousands of people rush to San Francisco to see the 11:00 a.m. parade. BART is crowded like a NY subway.
Traffic on the Hwy 101 is backed up all the way to Santa Rosa to North. Montgomery Station is so packed it's shut down. The remaining BART revelers ride on to Civic Center in style.
Little kids and old folks look fabulous in black and orange.
I think of Pete Morse (RIP), fan of all things orange, and how happy he would be to see Market St. awash in the hue of bright raver pants.
The crowd is so thick I can't see much of the parade, but I do see Giants player Audrey Huff waving his wife's red thong, which he wore for good luck during games.
And witness with awe a beautiful, shared moment in San Francisco history.
What a way to end 2010. (That's all for the sports enthusiasm, I swear!)
