The San Francisco Citizen

There looked to be about 60 day laborers hanging around looking for work on (William Randolph) Hearst Avenue on the west si-iide in Berkeley the other day.

What does Truitt & White, “the Professional Builder’s Choice,” think about the advisability of employing the people on the street in front of their store?

“We will not make any recommendations on using the Day Labor standing on Hearst Avenue or the surrounding area.”

Fair enough. What is the typical rate of pay? No matter, business is not good these days. Not good at all.

Well, park it where you want, but don’t be surprised if it looks like this by the next day.

Local artists used this Sprinter 2500 van as their canvas:

Welcome to San Francisco!

Our benevolent style leader requests your attendance at Saturday’s Black and White Ball.

Of course it’s $250 a ticket for seats that “may not have ideal audio quality” and may have “impaired sightlines.”

But that’s a small price to pay for Seal.  

Let’s not disappoint him. Seal has a posse, after all.

Here’s the latest from the exotic deer wars up in the Pt. Reyes area of Marin County.

A little background about the “hired killers” is here. Of course, California State Senator Carole Migden has been on this issue for a while now. But the Feds have a different point of view about “exotic ungulates”.

The plan is to have all these deer gone withing a decade or two. And that rubs some people the wrong way.

Please don’t shoot me just because I don’t come from here! Some exotic deer inside of the Point Reyes National Seashore:

It seems the way the Federales have handled the culling will give animal lovers lots to argue about over the coming years and decades.

Let’s hope we can get to some kind of solution soon.

Here’s what you do:

• Find the elusive Lucky Money Fish
• Give it your money (but not pennies - the LMF doesn’t need any more pennies)
• Make a wish

Then simply wait for your wish to come true. Repeat as necessary.
