Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013

Up first is the effort from official Mayor Ed Lee lickspittle CW Nevius:

Mmmm…

I’ll reserve comment else I’ll get Blocked from his Twitter feed (again. You know, for calling him an SFGov lickspittle last month, which he totally is.)

So that was the pro journalist.

Comes now, The Tens.

Same night, same show:

Oh that’s right, CW Nevius gets paid the same whether he does a half-assed job or not.

(And CW’s Conventional Wisdom writing is worse than his photography.)

Oh well.

(And switch cameras (or devices or whatever) and the The Tens would still take much better photos.)

A clear victor: The Tens.

Thx 4 playing…

Proof that MUNI Doesn’t Cause All Big Accidents in SF: 18-Wheeler High-Centers atop Nob Hill

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

This truck, she is stuck.

The driving wheels are high and dry after the driver tried to take Mason southbound from California westbound this AM.

(Believe this is the very same block Hugh Grant’s stuntman drove down in a Ford Exploder SUV for the filming of Nine Months back in 1995.) 

In the next world war
In a jackknifed juggernaut
I am born again

See? Now there’s your problem. Screeeech!!!!

They ought to have a sign or something.

Of course, limos also have this issue sometimes around town.

Anyway, a kajillion PG&E trucks and the SFPD are on the scene with lots of personnel helping out as California Street turns into a giant taxi parking lot.

I’d have no idea how to get big rig rolling

The Professional Dog Walkers of Bernal Heights Appear to be Overwhelmed

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

The unlicensed commercial dog walkers of leash-free Bernal Heights appear to be overwhelmed at times. Perhaps each one should have an assistant – that would seem fair. Of course, there’s talk about requiring liability insurance and limiting the number pooches per businessperson, up in Marin.  

How many pooches can you Spot? Click to expand, they won’t bite:

Were there any doggies inside this unattended pickup? At least one, anyway.

But don’t give just a four-star rating to your dog walker on the Yelp, as he/she would likely take that as an insult. Five stars are de rigueur, it would seem.
