Ron Dudum’s Campaign for San Francisco District 4 Supervisor Kicks Off

Friday, August 1st, 2008

This was the scene at Ron Dudum’s campaign headquarters on 2239 Taraval between 32nd & 33rd Avenue at his recent open house. Campaign Manager Tuan Nguyen is saying some of their recent events have attracted over 100 supporters.

Per Tuan:

“The Ron Dudum for Supervisor Campaign  will push forward and continue to gain new voters with the strong neighborhood support of locals.  This campaign is not about race or ethnic identification.  This is an opportunity for Ron Dudum,  a Sunset native, and District 4 to bring our experience, enthusiasm, and uniquely Sunset concerns to City Hall.”

It’s August so things are hotting up in this foggy district. Read about Supervisor Carmen Chu’s “big money” race against Ron here.

Can We Live With a Few Metal Boxes on Our Sidewalks? YES WE CAN!

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Oh oh, there’s a new “neighborhood call to action” in San Francisco.

“Sometimes it’s possible for really significant changes to slip past normal public planning channels almost unnoticed.”

Now this man certainly doesn’t look too happy about a LightSpeed utility box installed in his nabe, but San Francisco’s new boxes should be shorter than this. People, teh Sunset district with a few more metal boxes here and there is still going to be the Sunset, avec all its pluses and minuses. This LightSpeed program won’t be a “significant change” to anything. You NIMBYs are getting out of hand.  

Look what DPT has to go through with DPW to make deadly Masonic Avenue a little safer a with a single (one) controller cabinet. The notice pictured below was posted on umptyump telephone poles recently.

Countdown signals now! And LightSpeed, meh, whatever, doesn’t matter.

Tree Sap - Why You Shouldn’t Park Your Car In or Near Golden Gate Park

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

You can see the culprit reflected in this car’s windshield - it’s a sap-filled Eucalyptus globulus (aka Tasmanian Blue Gum, Southern Blue Gum or Blue Gum Eucalyptus) just waiting to rain down on your vehicle.

Of course a garage around in the area of Golden Gate Park or it’s Panhandle could run you something like $10 per day. Maybe you’d feel a little gumminess is a small price to pay for free parking?

Your choice.  

Red Skies at Night over San Francisco

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

San Francisco’s been having lots of red skies at night lately, due to all of the recent fires. Check out the Real Time Wildfire Map, if you’d like. You see? It’s all just a bunch of smoke.

So the weather lore contained in the Da Jesus Book doesn’t really apply to our current situation.

“Enjoy” the red skies while you can.
