We celebrated Fathers Day on Summer Solstice in San Francisco this year. So, of course, we needed our jackets in the bright sun while wearing shorts. It's one of the things I love about SF, the schizoid weather. Rachel, Dylan, Emi and the two of us munched some lunch at the Embarcadero as we hung with Dad and discussed some of the details of Dylan's business plan and website. The site is up, but it still needs some tweaking here and there, mostly there, in the copy, so The Family Board of Directors was weighing in with the ideas. It was just for the afternoon, each of us needing to get back to something-or-other, but fun! Love how easy it is to cascade on down to the City for even a short visit!
Arent they cute?Meanwhile, sheesh!! The Blotter bits have been building up to dangerous levels! Here are a few to release the pressure...
"10:40 p.m.--A caller from a business in the 100 block of Mill Street reported a "karate guy" was causing a disturbance." [who hasn't been there?]
"2:20 p.m.--A woman from the 11000 block of Miwok Path reported finding a rectangular black sheet in her car after leaving it unlocked. It was found to be an insert from her reusable grocery bag that fell out in her car." [Oh, please! How exactly do the Police get in on this little drama?]
"5:37 p.m.--A caller from the 100 block of Neal Street [downtown] reported a person in a Toyota 4Runner was swearing at people over a loudspeaker. The person was advised to leave and to stop using the PA system." [What? There's no "Doofus" Jail?]
"8:12 a.m.--A woman from the 10000 block of Boulder Street reported a water bottle in her driveway that was bubbling for unknown reasons." [Another example of "yes, you CAN be too careful"]
"10:06 p.m.--A caller from Kidder Cemetery said she could hear bottles and cans and juveniles belching in the cemetery." ["reporting felony indigestion in the cemetery..."]
"12:48 p.m.-- A caller from the 13000 block of Tervetuloa Lane reported an argument with the neighbors about peacocks running loose. The neighbor said the initial caller verbally assaulted her and the other party's donkeys are running around and her peacocks have nothing to do with it." [another pin in the map indicating "neighborhoods to avoid at all costs"]
"5:53 p.m.--A caller in the 200 block of Church Street reported a possible bobcat or mountain lion on top of a carport. When police arrived, they determined it was a large domestic cat." [who screens these calls?]
"5:27 a.m.--A woman from the 10000 block of Partridge Road reported hearing people downstairs. It was found to be the heater." [*sigh* Only call if the heater actually picks up a knife and makes threatening gestures, next time]
