Dear Presidio Trust,
Your decision to close Presidio Boulevard and a few “smaller streets” to eliminate “cut-through traffic” is short-sighted, at best. The Presidio is a very unique National Park in the heart of one of the world’s largest and most beautiful cities, and driving through it shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing.
Eliminating through traffic [...]
Of course you remember his most recognizable #1 hit, “My Yarmulke”
My yarmulke believe me, I wear it proud
I’m the jew with the crew that will rock the crowd
Cruisin’ in my benz, to the dope rhymes I pens
Cashin’ interest hard on the monies I lends.
I’m sorry if you’re not of the tribe
And don’t understand my cool [...]
This is the C-series Benz that belongs to my 20-something neighbor. The guy opted to try and “secure” his front license plate with zip ties. Zip ties. Seriously, zip ties.
Not only that, but he only used two zip ties, so every time I saw his plate it was blown up on his grill like this.

Without doubt, I am no uber-geek, but I know enough to get by at most San Francisco cocktail parties. I do about 95% of my own IT, and run a pretty tight ship when it comes to security on our home network. So when my Internet connection simply disappeared last week, I assumed it was [...]
Spotted on a gate around the corner from our house:
Two funny things about this: 1) I don’t think they even have a dog, 2) That German Shepard moves pretty fast for such visible hip dysplasia.
PG&E crews have been tearing up the streets in our ‘hood for a good five or six months now. Seems there was this federal grant that PG&E was sitting on, and even though they declared bankruptcy, the fed insisted that the work get done or the money get returned. It has been great for Ryder, [...]
Today being Monday, it was Toyota Prius day in the parking lot of Whole Foods SoMa. Tuesday is Mini Cooper Day, Wednesday is BMW day, and the rest of the week is a mish-mash.
On the way in we spotted a black Prius with the following license plate:
There is discussion in our house as to whether [...]
