Does Our CHP Have a “Bicycle Officer School?” Yes, Here It Is – Soon to be Patrolling the Eastern Span of the Bay Bridge
Wednesday, June 12th, 2013Attention Comrades! Please Attend Glorious JFK Drive Bike Lane Re-Education Camp Tonight – Attendance Mandatory!
Thursday, February 28th, 2013From the Richmond District Blog comes news of tonight’s Richmond District Democratic Club meeting regarding the horrible new bike lanes on JFK Jr Drive in Golden Gate Park.
Longtime area cyclist and capitalist running dog Steven T. Jones typifies the type of person who will most benefit from re-education via the corrupt SFMTA and the messianic San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. See?
“New JFK bike lanes are bad for everyone“
I’d post a photo but the SFMTA has me watching an educational movie, you know, A Clockwork Orange-style.
And they DID admit that some fine-tuning possibly might be in order.
And my restraints are actually quite comfortable.
Maybe these horrible, one-of-a-kind bike lanes aren’t so horrible after all.
In closing, I Love Big Brother.
Uh, Sorry, LA Times, But Your “49 New Sweet Spots” for Visitors to San Francisco are Not New – YouTube
Tuesday, February 26th, 2013What’s “new” here except for the video itself?
“San Francisco’s new sweet spots“ by losangelestimes:
In closing, “Oh … I don’t go to the Avenues.”
Heh.
In mitigation:
I want to live in los angeles
Not the one in los angeles
No, not the one in south california
They got one in south patagonia
Cyclists Have the Choice of Going North or South over Alamo Heights – Which is Better, McAllister Street or the Wiggle?
Wednesday, February 13th, 2013If you want to get there and back again from the Panhandle bike path and Mid Market (and beyond), your best choice is McAllister Street.
It’s waaaaaaay better than The Wiggle route.
Why?
Well, why not? McAllister Street (aka the Hastings Cutoff) is shorter and swifter and straighter and safer.
Actually, The Wiggle is The Rookie’s Choice, full of part-timers like CW Nevius (oh he just quit cycling in The City, hardly surprising) and fast fixie riders who don’t know any better.
And The Movement prefers the Wiggle, for some unknown reason. But if you just want to get from A to B, then its Market McAllister Divis and eventually Fell for you.
Like this – that’s UC Hastings, your Hastings Cutoff lodestar, there in the background on the left:

So you climb a bit more using McAl, like 20 more vertical feet if you add up all the ups and downs, but big whoop.
All right, see you out there on the HC!
Dear University of California: Your New Logo Sucks – Here’s Why
Monday, December 10th, 2012Here’s why – if you invert the colors of the old logo, it still looks like something:

Conversely, if you invert the colors of the new logo, it looks like garbage.
See?
Actually, the new logo looks like garbage anyway, inverted colors or no…
Costco Mexican Soda Evolution – First Came Coke, Then Came Pepsi, But Now Here Comes El Medio Litro, The King
Friday, October 26th, 2012First came Coke, all the way from Mexico, all the way back in aught-six. (You see, they use sugar as the sweetener south of the border, you know, instead of corn syrup.)
Click to expand
Then came the 12 oz. Coke in a Coke Bottle purveyors, like this lovely Hayes Valley Taco Model from the Gap:
And then came the Mexican Pepsi at the Costco:
But now comes the King of Them All, El Medio Litro, the half-litre of Mexican Coke in a bottle:
I only saw one case at Costco #144 in SoMA, just recently.
I don’t know what they go for, probably something betwixt $18-24 for 24.
Who knows what Mexican-made beverage Costco will offer next…
My Sweet Clementina: It’s the Perfect Street to Use for Free Parking Less Than One Block Away from Our New City Target
Thursday, October 18th, 2012For an hour, anyway.
You’ll need to approach your free space from 5th Street, as Clementina is a one-way.
And I guess the main entrance to Target is at 4th and Mission, so if that’s your destination then it’s more better to say two blocks away.
But still, free parking is free parking.
See?

Target, Beloved by Regular San Franciscans, Opens New Store October 14th – Gift Card Giveaways Until Then
Friday, September 28th, 2012I’ll tell you, there are two kinds of San Franciscans:
1. People who know / care about who the current Mayor is; and
2. People who think the Mayor of San Francisco is still Gavin Newsom or Willie Brown or Dianne Feinstein*
A third of the first group welcomes the new City Target store, a third doesn’t care, and a third opposes this corporate chain-store invasion, man.
And the second group? They either don’t care or they welcome this store.
Golfing for Gift Cards and Bullseye doggie dolls:
*Which you know, isn’t too far from the truth, IRL.
(Oh, which of the two groups listed above is larger? The second one.)
I, for one, welcome our new corporate overlords.
As does Charlize Theron:
Feel free to continue shopping online until October 14th.
(And hey, where’s our Masonic and Geary Target, when’s that one coming?)
See you at the City Target on the Second Sunday of October 2012!

Speaking of which, check out the New Santa Clara Stadium, which is probably going to be about 20 times better than Candlestick Park.
All right, tink happy toughts until 5:20 PM Sunday…
This Giant Public Notice Outside of Strybing Arboretum in Golden Gate Park Means What, Exactly?
Wednesday, July 18th, 2012I think it means they want to build a new greenhouse and some offices, but they don’t want to put in the concomitant parking spaces.
I think.

I haven’t kept track of things there since they put up the paywall. (Do they still charge $7 per capita and pay the workers minimum wage? Something like that.)
Some people want to be alone with their plants at what used to be a free public garden, so that’s fine.
Oh well.
