While we cannot stomach the taste and mouth feel of warm fruit, many of you love pie -- apple pie, especially. Some of you even have recipes. Grandma's famous apple pie recipes, if lore is to believed. So, why not enter your favorite warm slice in this Sunday's Johnny Appleseed Apple Pie Contest. No, not a pie eating contest -- where do you think you are, east of I-5? --but a regular old pie contest. The Divisadero Farmers Market (Grove Street, at Divisadero) will be hosting the showdown this Sunday.

"825 Divisadero" by Darwin Bell.

Have you been to the Diviz Farmer's Market yet? We blogged skeptically about it back in July, but apparently it's been going gangbusters. So gangbusters, in fact, that they're going to extend it to December. Crisp fall apples are allegedly on the way -- it's going to be a good old-fashioned New England Christmas!

We snapped the above photo at everyone's favorite traffic mess - the Arco station on Fell and Divisadero. The sign on the fence reminded me of photos we'd seen of gas shortages back before we were sentient, but happily for drivers, this isn't the harbinger of shortages or rationing. The station will soon finish with their repair work, and people will once again be able to fill their H2s for $.02/gallon less than at the station across the street! Sadly, that means the traffic mess will return - today was the first time in a very long time that we'd gone up the Fell Street bike lane without having to dodge out into traffic to avoid a car blocking the lane or the sidewalk.
