So here’s the theory. Say your marketing people go hog-wild with the chalk ads on the Streets of San Francisco, like this:
So then somebody calls 311 or somebody else posts a photo on the Twitter and then an investigator at the City Attorney’s Office takes a look at things and then the people at Parlophone / Warner Bros. get a jingle and then somehow things get smoothed over by the Brothers Warner or somebody else making at buy at the SFMTA MUNI for some hastily-created and more or less useless ads such as:
Cf. the Blue Wolf at a Dream Force about 1.5 years ago:
And then these hastily-created and more or less useless ads started to appear:
Just a theory, man.
And here’s the thing about chalk. You can’t scrub it off your car tires to avoid a citation and you can’t scuff into Frisco’s sidewalks, I’m srsly. What’s that, UBER, Microsoft, Verizon, et al, it’s “only temporary?” Well, yeah, sure, that’s what I’m talking about, it’s agin the rules, temporary or not.

Just count them, Gentle Reader:
And look, somebody is actually going in/out – a rare sighting.
Back in the ’90s, my buds would buy bad weed on these very steps, but that was before this area became known as the Thieves Market. (And my other buds living in a nearby dorm would grow their own buds with powerful grow lamps in tiny closets because 1) Electricity was unmetered by the school so it was free (no additional cost to use all the juice you wanted) and 2) Electricity was unmetered so there was no way PG&E / the popo could detect your outrageous use of juice, you know, the increase. Ah mem’ries.))
Anyway, this place only needed one fence back then…

Here we go, a shot from 2009 on Market, from some protest. These two stood out. And I thought, can the popo wear earrings in Frisco?
And here’s your answer, or at least it was back during the earliest part of our current millennium:
5. JEWELRY AND ORNAMENTS (also see DGO 11.08, Grooming Standards).
On-duty officers shall not wear jewelry or personal ornaments that are visible except:
a. A wristwatch.
b. A total of 2 rings that are consistent with officer safety. An engagement and wedding ring set will be considered as one ring.
c. A conservative tie bar or tie tack.
d. Female officers may, in addition, wear the following:
1. Hair clips or pins that match the color of the hair.
2. One ear post in each ear. The post must lie flush with the ear and be plain metal, gold or silver colored. The face of the post is not to have a diameter of more than three-eighths (3/8) inch. Nothing shall hang from the post.
So that’s your answer, no danglies.

I mean, I looked up and thought, “That might be the correct time.”
See?
There have been efforts in the past to get this thing running of course.
I’ll check again sometime…

Here it is:
But look, two people going in who AREN’T security guards. I’ve never seen that. So call that a nibble.
Hey, maybe this was a bad idea?

Thusly:
For some reason, north-south travel has been prioritised here, so people going along Market have to wait wait wait at a red light for no real reason than, IDK, the laziness of those at MUNI, who can’t be bothered to adjust the timing of the signals to reflect ongoing construction?
Looks that way.
Ppl respond by waiting in the street, as seen above, or jaywalking, when they see that nothings really going on during their long long red light…

Haven’t seen these NYT-approved snacks on sale at the SoMA Costco (America’s First Urban Costco™) in years:
A looooong time ago I sold frozen It’s Its to customers at a Landmark Theatre theatre for waaaaaay more than 62 cents, I’ll tell you. Was it $3 each?
Wonder what they cost now…

So you don’t feel like waiting behind today’s wider MUNI buses turning right off of Market, say around 4th Street, so you hop into the “fast” lane but stay betwixt the right lane of the streetcar tracks and the peds waiting on the traffic island for the next bus and, oh, streetcar! Whoopsy doodle:
That’s the most treacherous pothole I’ve seen on Market, in all my years, and that goes back to the 80’s. So all you can do is stop and walk over it, basically, taking care not to get to close to the peds standing on and over the Famous Yellow Line.
Next day, all the potholes on inbound Market next to the MUNI tracks were filled in, just saying:
Suspect these large holes are formed by some kind of MUNI operation, but I don’t know which one.
Anyway, the system works, eventually. I mean, the holes get bigger and bigger until ppl can’t stand it anymore, and I guess I caught this process right before (a temporary) resolution…
