DPT Stakeout at Costco – Disabled Placard “Street Team” – Expired Permit – Jersey Plates – Lonely Pooch
Monday, November 21st, 2011(Check it, my first pro-SFMTA post.)
This cute pup was guarding an Acura parked on 10th Street while its owner visited our SoMA Costco (I assume, I mean, why else would anybody park down there?)

Problem? The disabled placard hanging from the rear-view has expired. See?
So guess who was waiting for this car’s owner to show up – it was DPT’s Disabled Placard Street Team with their bright blue shoulder patches.
Les mise-en-scene avec Etat de Jardin* license plates sur la Acura bleu:
This issue could end up costing the driver thousands of dollars, when all is said and done.** (I can’t say for sure because I don’t get paid by the City Family to stakeout cars, plus I had to split. Oh well.)
Now, WWSD? Like What Would KRON-TV’s Stanley Roberts Do if he came upon this scene? Oh yes, something like this.
But, you know, I might possibly be beefier than Stanley (I know I’m taller than he but I could actually outweigh him) and, you know, I wouldn’t want to get into an another Elmo situation.
Bon courage, Acura pooch. Your owner will need all the love she can get today.
*Garden State – it’s a Jersey Thing.***
**The funny thing is that Costco has plenty of free parking. And honestly, I don’t think the good people of Costco would care all that much if you parked in their garage while shopping elsewhere. As stated, there’s nothing else going on ’round that area so it’s not like they’re on the lookout for renegade parkers.

Graffiti Forest: Why Don’t You Tag the Giant Bamboo of Strybing Arboretum? Everybody Else From All Over the World Has Already

It’s a Jersey Thing: Proof that New Miss California / Miss USA Alyssa Campanella is Actually From the Garden State
Monday, June 20th, 2011See? Sashes Don’t Lie.
Believe it or not, she’s a natural blonde (so of course she dies her hair ginger, natch). More photos here and oh, SFGate is going wall-to-wall with 30 photos.

She’s been running for Miss New Jersey-something for years, and only now does she come to California?
I cry foul.
But she’s up-to-speed on California-style marijuana legalization already:
“Well, I understand why that question would be asked, especially with today’s economy, but I also understand that medical marijuana is very important to help those who need it medically,” she replied. “I’m not sure if it should be legalized, if it would really affect, with the drug war,” she added. “I mean, it’s abused today, unfortunately, so that’s the only reason why I would kind of be a little bit against it, but medically it’s OK.”
All right, next stop, Miss Universe 2012.
Welcome to California, Alyssa Campanella.
New Jersey Assemblywoman Wants Bicycle License Plates, Registration With DMV – How Would That Fly in the 415?
Thursday, January 13th, 2011Answer: Not very well at all.
Anyway, Joisey might this a try ’cause, apparently, over there it’s illegal to ride your bike on sidewalks.
What an odd law!
Now, some towns in CA have bike registration schemes but only for the recovery of stolen bicycles. And we have statewide laws for safety ‘n stuff but those are more what you’d call guidelines than actual laws.
Looks like Junior will be the only guy in town with a bike license plate for a good long time:

Well, of course, you can’t step out without your protein. Natch.

O.K., but what about fat (or the taste of fat, anyway)? Well, in that case, you’re going to need Bakon, the bacon-flavored vodka.

Jerry Brown Throws Down: Organic Cigarettes Might Not Be a Healthy Choice for You
Monday, March 1st, 2010Our California Attorney General Jerry Brown can’t abide you smokers out there thinking “organic” cigarettes from American Spirit are better for you than other cigarettes. So he just cut a deal with the Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company affacting how these ciggies will get marketed in California. Deets below.
Anyway, an appealing package, IMO:
Brown Secures Agreement with American Spirit Cigarettes Maker over Misleading Marketing of Organic Tobacco Products
Los Angeles-Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. today announced that his office has secured an agreement with Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, Inc., the manufacturer of American Spirit tobacco products, that requires the company to clearly disclose that its organic tobacco is “no safer or healthier” than other tobacco products.
Attorneys general from 32 other states and the District of Columbia signed onto today’s agreement.
“Stamping an organic label on tobacco products is ultimately a distinction without a difference-organic or not, cigarettes are bad for your health,” Brown said. “Today’s settlement with Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company ensures that all future advertisements make it clear that organic tobacco is no safer or healthier.”
Jerry Brown, automático para la gente:
More deets after the jump.
