The Sad Aftermath of a San Francisco Porta Potti Arson Attack, 2008-2009
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009Look below for the telltale sign of yet another Porta Potti arson – bright green or blue or aqua synthetic resin embedded into the sidewalk, evidencing the molten flow downhill. Was this portable toilet parked right next to a tree? Thanks for asking, yes it was. Isn’t that against the rules? Yes again. (Oh well.)
But why was this toilet chosen to be the 21st to go up in flames? Take a look at the crime scene below for a clue.
Can concrete cement handle the heat of melting, petroleum-based plastic? Clearly no. This gouged part of the sidewalk will need to be replaced at some point:

Stay safe.
Opening Weekend of Chihuly at the de Young in Golden Gate Park a Huge Success
Sunday, June 15th, 2008The first two days of ChihulyPalooza in Golden Gate Park were well attended, despite the admonishment of New Republic Art Critic Jed Perl:
Everybody rushes to the Museum of Modern Art and the De Young, two overblown buildings with sporadically important collections, while the most beautiful museum in the city–the Legion of Honor, in which masterpieces by Watteau, Le Nain, and Seurat have been given a thrillingly elegant installation- -is hardly ever mentioned.
Well, consider the Legion mentioned, Mr. Perl. Now on with the show:

The Crucible’s Educational Response Vehicle. Have anvil, will travel:
The thrill of sending a plume of fire skyward the first time:
A bed of nails with a fretful ballerina on top:
And inside the museum, cherubs everywhere:
See you there!
