Someday, I’ll be a rich, white Marin Native, you know, if I work hard enough at it, if I apply myself…
Or maybe I should have had the foresight, you know, in the womb, to have arranged things so I would have been born a rich, white Marin Native…
Enjoy.
Will this…

…plus this:
…eliminate this…
…and this?
Well, not actually because this particular car vs. bike from last year happened to be the impatient cyclist’s fault, because he went across against a red, because bike riders don’t have as much time to cross as they used to, owing to the newish dedicated cyclist light Oh well.
Anyway, I would have said that Santa installed all the new hardware, but I was beaten to the punch by Dale Danley / Panhandle Park Stewards, who naively wonder why the Panhandle Bandshell went away despite the fact that the “partners” of PPS are the same people who made the harmless bandshell go away.
(So I don’t know, I’ll consider the Panhandle Park Stewards ranking someplace north of that horribly corrupt Willie Brown S.L.U.G. vehicle for the while. Enjoy your “partnership” with the corrupt RPD, and the NIMBYed-up NoPNA, and the millionaires’ kid’s school as you garden, Deutsches Jungvolk und Bund Deutscher Mädel.)
Anyway, you can look forward to the flashing lights of traffic cams when errant drivers err at Fell and Masonic. (UCSF shuttle van drivers beware, beware!)
[UPDATE: All this makes writer Mickey Kaus wonder if #TheyHaveMooseInChina?]
Do you prefer the original?
Or the parody, as recently seen on Fulton Street?

Now that’s a moose and a Volvo pilot with attitude.
[Apparently, these things will remain in production after all. I had thought the line shut down in the summer of 2011. This model was supposed to die in 2006, 2010, and 2011, but it still keeps chugging along...]
Achtung, baby!

Kind of looks like a VW Thing, non?
They’re out of production now, but these G rigs went for $125K+ back in the day, and that was before the convertible “option.”
Here’s an exit interview with the German version of the Hummer.
I’ll wait in the pouring sun
[BIKE NOPA has an update. The Examiner has a report indicating the cyclist has only "minor injuries." Could it be that the car got it worse than the guy on the bike?]
A small Ford Focus ZXW station wagon collided with a cyclist at the intersection of Fell and Masonic this afternoon.
This red Cannondale fixie had its fork torn in two.
Come on, you can do it. Take a gander at the dollar amount of the fine for abandoning your car on the streets of San Francisco. Let’s agree that dollar amount has two digits, but it is $75? $85? $88? $98? $80? $90?
This is no mere triviality - if you don’t get the proper notice then you might not have to pay the fine. As to whether San Francisco can legally tow away your ride with the way the local laws are written these days, well, that’s up in the air.
Can I explain why the owner was given only three days to move in light of the last year’s policy change allowing seven days? No, no I cannot. Click to expand.
Are San Francisco drivers gonna get a massive refund the way it just went down South San Francisco Way with the red light cameras? [KRON's Eve Taft- why isn't she in every romcom Hollywood can produce?] No se.
I’m the first one to rain on the parade of plaintiff’s attorneys with ridiculous notions of what constitutes a decent lawsuit, but this one, this one looks good.
The mise-en-scene atop Buena Vista Heights at the end of Masonic, where it’s so hilly you might need an exemption to drive your SUV around.
This aging, now-woodless Willys Jeep Wagon ur-SUV needs no exemption for excessive weight as it’s not close to the weight limit. (I ought to call it in to Pimp My Ride or something.) Wonder where it is now, wonder if it got towed. [Dude, where's my car? What happened to my woody?]
Anyway, we’ll just have to bide our time to see what occurs with this not-yet-certified class action lawsuit. Writer Joe Eskenazi will keep us posted, I’m sure.
To Be Continued…
Oscar Mayer’s Wiener Wagon might not be welcome in the (808) State, but San Francisco just loves its weiners, so y’all come back now, Mr. Oscar G. Mayer.
As seen recently on the 101, under the Sutro Tower (now with Digital – ahora mas que nunca!)
