The San Francisco Citizen

This fellow standing near Fillmore Street just had a physical altercation with another fellow sitting at a bus stop. Hard to say what happened, but the person shown appeared to make a beeline from a position of safety, threw a punch or two, and then took this position here about a half-block away. 

Now here’s his appearance a minute later after a quick removal of clothes.

This appears to be a good technique to confuse law enforcement, should the need ever arise.

You can tell by the number of people waiting at the corner of Fillmore and McAllister during one recent morning that it’s been a while since an inbound #5 Fulton has come down the street.

The futility comes from the fact that the next bus that comes will be full, because if these people here have been waiting for a long time so has everybody else upstream. One option would be to use your two good legs (which most of of the people shown certainly have) and hoof it downstream towards Gough or Van Ness, where a significant number of people get off, leaving you with room to get on no matter how full the bus is.

Some people just crane their necks and stare up the street as a coping strategy. That technique will work as well, but it takes a while sometimes.

Oh well.

(Things will only get busier around here when the Western Addition Obama Phone Bank (they prefer it if you B.Y.O.C. Bring Your Own Cellie) gets cooking at the West Bay Conference Center on 1290 Fillmore near Eddy.)

You can tell this is a real City And County of San Francisco street sign by the small letters encoded on the bottom.

So it’s easy to tell its an official sign, just like our “END BUSH“ sign on Presidio. And totally the opposite of this fake, home-made “PET WASTE TRANSMITS DISEASE“ sign on Franklin.

A similar sign up in British Columbia leads this couple to ask, “Whatever happened to romance?”
