pissing and shitting where you socialize...people in San Francisco think this is normal
people don't even do this in the worst of the third world countries..Even the most screwed up communities know better than to shit in your own living room
unless you're on crack

payday on 6th street
it's that time of the month again, the 1st. Payday for welfare and Social Security disabilty benefits, and 3-2-1...here we go
certainly don't have to go to the Playa to see people lounging around naked after slamming some meth
and since this is also Mid Market area, how about a Quote of the Day from the Chronicle. These photos are right behind the Chronicle itself, by the way

As usual SF misses the point: the reason no one shops on mid-Market has nothing to do with bikes or cars (as if any sane person would drive down Market looking for a place to park so he can nip into a shop anyway): it San Francisco's policy of maintaining that area as a wildlife preserve for the feral homeless. Why would anyone want to run that gauntlet to buy things that are on sale in much safer and more salubrious areas all over the Bay Area?

The Senior Bike Messengers of San Francisco
This little project was started partly because of this SFist article incorrectly proclaiming Junior to be the oldest bike messenger in San Francisco. The truth is that there are five bike messengers in San Francisco over the age of 60 with Junior being the youngest out of all five. Assembled in one place for the first time, here are all five of the senior bike messengers in San Francisco, starting with the oldest
Mike Freeman, age 67
Mike has been bike messengering for nearly 30 years since the mid 1980's..His first job was was with Aero, the second bike messenger company ever in San Francisco
Alex, 64
Alex has also been a bike messenger for many many years
Magic Mike, 62
Magic Mike has been an institution at Western Messenger for at least 20 years. He says that he would probably be in far worse shape if he wasn't biking all day, every day
Roger, 61
probably in the best shape of all of these guys, Roger can usually out race many of the younger 20 year olds
Junior, 61
Junior is apparently just a few months younger than Roger. However Junior has been a bike messenger the longest out of anyone in San Francisco. Junior's first job was with Sparkys in 1968. Sparkys was the first messenger company in San Francisco. They wore brownish uniforms a little like UPS drivers. Sparkys later became Aero messenger in the 70's and then was eventually bought out in the 90's by a group of messenger companies
And Junior is his legal name
This is for all the people who think being a bike messenger is a young persons job. These guys are out there every day, all day, biking 10-20-30-40 miles a day. They do it because it keeps them in shape, and it should be an inspiration to everyone, young and old, and not just bike messengers

City Hall and Venus
The dome of San Francisco City Hall and Venus to the right, looking west, about an hour after sundown
Actually, it's stunning to see anything in the night sky, since it's the first fogless night in almost 2 months. But the real shocker comes in 12 hours, when this big bright thing comes blazing across the sky. It's called the sun. Do not be alarmed. That is supposed to be there

Club 6 still disturbing neighbors after 3 years
Club 6 patrons at 1:20am this morning. In the video one Club 6 member asks me for money to video tape, and then you can hear the DJ yelling about how the old guy upstairs has been complaining. That would be Jim Ayers, who lives directly above where this crowd is yelling. Basically, Club 6 staff and patrons are going out of their way to disturb the neighbors now, after three years of complaints
this first became news three years ago and also mentioned on this blog where you can hear an audio interview with Jim Ayers
Club 6 is now intentionally trying to make the neighbors miserable This wasn't people leaving either. These people specifically came out side and targeted senior citizens living directly above them, yelling as loud as they can for more than one hour, then they went back inside and partied some more
Shame on you, Angel Cruz. There's a special place in hell for people who target senior citizens
update, this is the same spot during the day. Yes there are people that live directly above where these people were yelling at 1am
