"Everybody
Run! The Homecoming Queen Has a Gun!"

Leah Garchik's
column, San Francisco Chronicle,
10/12/10:
--
George
Davis,
the
candidate
for
District
Six
supervisor
who
advocates public nudity for all and free dental care for seniors, held
a High Nudi-Tea Party at the Castro Commons
on Wednesday. Strange de
Jim, who photographed the scene at 4:15 p.m., stopped back at 5:10,
noting that one guy was already putting his kilt on. "Nudi-Tea Parties
aren't what they once were," observes the sage Strange.
Note: Here's the photo I sent Leah from 4:15. At
5:10 one of the two
guys was putting his kilt on, and the young lady had taken her top off.
I got there
as the orange car joined the line of six trolleys on Market
between Church & Sanchez and the driver made the passengers get
off. I assumed the first one had broken down,
but right after I took this photo they all moved out. I thought maybe
the power had been off for the whole line, but then the other cars
couldn't have gotten there. Maybe the first car was broken and got
fixed, but I still couldn't figure why, knowing of the trouble, cars
had still started out with passengers at Castro and then made them get
off two blocks later. Any ideas?
I found this toy on top of a trash can.
Judging by the spelling, a teacher was still needed.
October 21 a gas main
rupture in front of Starbucks on 18th had 2 blocks of 18th & 2
blocks of Castro blocked off for a couple of hours. You could smell the
gas and hear the big whoosh from blocks away.
The Giants made it to the World Series!
Magnet Health Center on 18th was in full support.
