Irving Street Crime Beat: Junior Edition

Donna and I were walking home the other night and found this abandoned car (I didn't check to see if the keys were still in the ignition- I didn't want to tamper with a possible crime scene).

I hope this kid had insurance.

Donna thought maybe it was some drunken toddler. I wondered if this was perhaps the work of a delinquent gang of preschoolers: they "jacked" the car (I think that's the term), drove it madly along Irving Street and then wrecked it; Callously, they walked away from the not-burning wreckage.

They were probably hopped-up on the Cap'n Crunch...

This neighborhood ain't what it used to be

7th Annual Sunset District Autumn Moon Festival, SF, CA 9/3/11

On Saturday I took my weekly walk down Irving Street to fetch supplies (Old Crow & cheap wine) and came across the 7th Annual Sunset District Autumn Moon Festival.

Among the many attractions was this lil Dukes of Hazzard General Lee car ride (it ran on what appeared to be a lawn mower motor).

Alas, the car-horn didn't play "Dixie". I was a little bummed...

Sunshine

It's nice to see the sunshine again after so many days of rain.

Unfortunately, it always reminds me of that Ray Bradbury story I had to read in third grade. Broke my fucking heart, it did.

I guess the point of making us read it was to teach us to be nice to each other. But, all it did for me was to underscore the fact that people, in general, suck.

"I think the sun is a flower that blooms for just one hour."

Let's be extra-nice to one another today!
