I says to myself, I says, “Is that a tiny bottle of Maker’s Mark?”
Then after kicking it over, I see that it is, red wax on top and everything

Giant boxes in the harbor
Giant boxes made of aluminum**
Giant boxes, giant boxes
Giant boxes, all the same
There’s a green one and a red one
And a blue one and a purple one
And they’re all made out of aluminum**
And they all look just the same
*Which hardly ever crash into the Bay Bridge and leak bunker fuel all over the place
**Or steel

A Little Shaking in San Francisco – Didn’t Feel Like a Scary Earthquake Here
Monday, June 28th, 20107:47 AM, June 28th – The bay area just got a few little rolls from an “adorable” quake that had an epicenter just three miles to the west of the San Francisco Zoo, under the Pacific on the San Andreas Fault.
The animals at the zoo are unnerved:
“I can hear the Peacocks at the @sfzoo flipping out over the little earthquake.”
Oh well. Here it is, from the USGS:

Saint Francis of Assisi was all, “Is that what Thouest calls an Earth-Tembler Temblor, Master Andreas? Really, t’was merely a trifling. Next time, Thouest should Bring It On.”

Frequent Flier: Yet Another New Piece at the Open-Air 1269 McAllister Gallery
Thursday, June 10th, 2010Now, I’ve made up the names “Frequent Flier” and “1269 McAllister Gallery,” but no matter. This ornate chandelier is what you could have seen over the weekend in the Western Addition if you took the time to see it. Maybe it’s still there.
If not, a new piece will be up soon.
Who is the Artist? No one knows!
But is it Art, or a cry for help from a frequent flier?

You Make The Call
Tiny 1950′s-Style Fiat 500 Brings Good Feelings to Japantown’s Kimochi, Inc.
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009I finally caught this tiny 1957-or-later Fiat Nuova 500 at rest. It was my white whale but it eludes me no longer.
(Mistakenly thought they called these things Topolinos (little mice), oh well.)
See it parked next to a normal car? Click to expand:
Kimochi (meaning “good feelings,” or “feelings of respect and concern for the older generations“) Inc. is “a non profit organization dedicated to the well-being of seniors in the San Francisco Bay Area.” That’s where the 500 was parked.
Look for this orange cutie when you’re on the Streets of San Francisco. Zoom zoom.
