What can I say but that it’s Bald Eagle Watch time, baby?
Dese boids are coming in from the north and from the south.
When will we have a nesting pair here in San Francisco?

Well this is news to me.
Look what’s pooping in our water supply down in Crystal Springs Reservior:

I never though these boids would come back to the 415…

Writer Andrew Schneider has been all over his adulterated honey story for a while.
Via Kyle Mizokami, here it is:
“Asian Honey, Banned in Europe, Is Flooding U.S. Grocery Shelves – FDA has the laws needed to keep adulterated honey off store shelves but does little, honey industry says.”
Do you buy all that?

So, you see, the mom-and-pop ops in the PRC use lead solder in their unlined honey collection vessels and then the honey gets transshipped to India and then it comes here because it’s banned in the EU, or something like that.
Seems plausible…

Which store is the “economic catalyst” of Mid-Market?
This is a trick question, as one of them is an empty brokedown palace and the other merely a replacement, more or less.

How could this situation, switching one store for the other, possibly change anything?
What has Blick done for Mid Market that Pearl hasn’t done, that Pearl didn’t do?
That’s a mystery to me.
It wasn’t to our jackass former Mayor, apparently.
But it’s a mystery to me.

As promised, A Giant Cartoon Map of the San Francisco Water System, from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
Click on it to swim around and see where your tasty San Francisco wawa comes from. What’s that you say, what about lead and stuff? Well they test for that all the time, Silly Billy. What’s that you say, what about the lead solder that’s in the pipes in your building? Well, one thing you can do is let your water run for a bit to minimise exposure to the lead that’s leached into the water sitting in the pipes. It can’t hoit.

A lovely illustration from the late great Phil Frank.
Anyway, click expand.
