Wow: “Bicyclist Pedals Through a Foot of Water at Flooded 18th and Dolores” – December 2nd, 2012
Sunday, December 2nd, 2012Awesome Video: It’s a Jet Ski Critical Mass – Cruising Flooded Long Island Town During Hurricane Irene Aftermath
Friday, September 2nd, 2011Wow:
In San Francisco, Critical Mass has become a term synonymous with ignoring red lights,* right?
Now, what if you could critical mass in a flooded town on a Jet Ski?
That’s gotta be the flattest town in all creation. (Alluvial plain?) Don’t try this on Market Street, you know, post-global warming – it’s got slight rises that would ruin your Jet Ski fun.
This video only has 139K views?
It should have more by now, IMO.
*Now, I’ll admit CM treats red lights a bit differently, but, in my book, ignoring red lights = ignoring red lights.
When is the Steam Pipe Underneath McAllister and Larkin NOT Steaming?
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Via ActionNewsSF, you might search to find a KGO-TV bit covering the traffic-disrupting venting steam pipe at McAllister and Larkin today – it’s more steam than usual, that’s for sure.
But this area of Civic Center right in front of our Asian Art Museum (this year, it’s Shanghai) is basically steaming all the time, right?

This intersection is usually steaming, unless it’s flooding. Like this:
Oh well.
As per usual, it all happens on (or near) McAllister Street, Gateway to the Golden Gate Park Panhandle and home of the Snickerdoodle bike path (Route 20), your best way of getting over Alamo Heights while avoiding the abysmal, Hayes Valley NIMBY-designed Octavia Boulevard 24-7 traffic scrum.
Don’t You Wish You Had Your Own State-Approved Smoking Tent, Like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s?
Monday, November 30th, 2009I bet you’d love to have your very own smoking tent. One that’s large enough to be seen from outer space, right?
Well then you should envy California Governor Arnold Schwazenegger ’cause this beige smoking tent is all his.
As seen from the second floor of Sacramento’s Capitol Building. Click to expand:
Best of all, it’s been excluded from California’s new anti-smoking laws because, well, just because.
And if there’s the occasional flooding in our historic capitol due to all the fake plastic grass that’s been put down, well, that’s all right as well.
Here’s the bird’s eye view:
Happy smoking, Arnie!
Yes, whether it be cigars…
…or marijuana, like back in the day…
Smoking some sweet aparteid weed in South Africa - Pumping Iron, 1977
…happy smoking, Arnold!
Enjoy your tent.
Flooded Streets Don’t Slow Down San Francisco’s Street Sweeping Service
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009When the signs say that they’re going to ticket cars and run the street sweepers on Tuesday morning betwixt 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM, you can bet that they’re going to ticket cars and run the street sweepers on Tuesday morning just after 8:00 AM. Flooded streets cannot alter this. It Is Written.
So this is how City employees will spend their time today, whether you like it or not!
