Ringing it in at Jon R’s rooftop hot tub in the Outer Mission, with views of the SF cityscape that rival Medjool’s. Not sure how it can get better than THAT! But it just might. We still have today.

Hometown legacies – part 3 –
Eureka! There IS more than failed mortgage payments and fugitive financiers to speak of when Detroit comes to mind!
DETROIT — Kwame M. Kilpatrick, the charismatic mayor of Detroit who has been embroiled in legal problems stemming from a sex scandal since the beginning of the year, pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and resigned his office Thursday morning as part of a deal with prosecutors.
He agreed to plead guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice and to plead no contest to a felony count of assault on a police officer; to pay restitution to the city of $1 million; to surrender his law license, forfeit his state pension to the city and be barred from elective office for five years; and to serve 120 days in the Wayne County jail, followed by five years’ probation….
….Later, referring to his guilty plea, he said, “I lied under oath.”
