A Patient Pooch Waits for Its Owner on Irving Street

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

No matter how long it takes you to imbibe and eat in the Inner Sunset, you can always count on your dog to patiently wait for you. And only you.

What’s that you say? In San Francisco, we use the term “guardian” instead of “owner”? Well that’s right, sort of. Either word is kosher under the law, per Article 1, Section 41

(m)   ”Guardian” shall have the same rights and responsibilities of an owner, and both terms shall be used interchangeably.

So that’s fair enough.

This Fake Sign Reminds Us All of a Real San Francisco Law.

Monday, August 25th, 2008

This sign, sighted near in the Civic Center near Opera Plaza in San Francisco, cites an actual provision of the Health Code but it doesn’t look like it was posted by the City or County. Seems like somebody has a personal campaign to get the word out. How civic minded!

SEC. 40.  DOG TO BE CONTROLLED SO AS NOT TO COMMIT NUISANCES.

(a)   It shall be unlawful for any person owning or having control or custody of any dog to permit the animal to defecate upon the public property of this City or upon the private property of another unless the person immediately remove the feces and properly dispose of it; provided, however, that nothing herein contained authorizes such person to enter upon the private property of another without permission.
 
 

(b)   It shall be unlawful for any person to walk a dog on public property of this City or upon the private property of another without carrying at all times a suitable container or other suitable instrument for the removal and disposal of dog feces.
 
(c)   Visually handicapped persons who use Seeing Eye Guide Dogs are exempt from this law.
 
(Amended by Ord. 420-78, App. 9/8/78)
 
UPDATE: Well, commenter, of course it’s a real sign but it’s not an official San Francisco sign, as evidenced by the lack of any date code and the fact that it’s the only one in town. If you want one of your own, throw 50 bones over here to the Peachtree Business Products Co. Sadly, the funny graphic in the semi-custom sign shown above has been replaced by more dignified version of a man and his dog.

Code Pink Will Invoke Magic to Shut Down Marine Recruiting Station in Berkeley Tomorrow

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Oh, it’s on!

Witches, Crones, Sirens come to the Marine Recruiting Station [on May 9, 2008] to cast spells, weave magic, invoke the foremothers, share wisdom, lead rituals to bring peace to the MRS, to protect our youth from the powerful spells of pro-war forces, to lead the men of the marine recruiting station off into the oceans of peace!

Some witches, crones and sirens are willing to risk arrest, others are not. We call on all crones, witches and sirens to come to the MRS, to bring your energy, your wisdom, your fierce determination to end war now and bring peace to our world.

What’s that? You can’t make the scene? Well then just watch it all live online courtesy of Fox News Channel on the 24/7 FoxNews Berkeley Protest Cam.

In fact, why don’t you check it out right now and see if Code Pink’s gatherings in front of the recruiting station really are as “ill-attended” as Fox says.
