  1. “We encourage people and dogs alike to do their business in other places, like a proper restroom or one of our fire hydrants, which are stronger and made out of cast iron."

    We're sure the SFFD will thank him for that one.

          1. There are three street lights out on my little island in BC. Two of them are at the ferry terminal.

            So lovely to be able to look up and see the stars at night! Unfortunately I'm stuck in London for the Summer and probably well into Fall. Ugh. :(

    1. Was gonna say, if ever we needed a corrosion specialist, it is now.

        1. This comment got put in moderation limbo and I didn't think it would ever appear, which is why I repeated it below. But thanks. Mr R Zimmerman of Hibbing MN gets the credit for it. One of his very best.

  2. I grew up there. We never peed on our cars, but the damned things would rust out almost as badly as if they were driven on salted roads back east. Even if parked inside, the fog would roll in and fuck shit up.

    1. Really! Huh. I'm in fog central here in the East Bay hills, but our cars are fine. Guess the salt doesn't make it alla way out here.

      1. Our cars weren't undercoated back then, probably a factor. I am old. And I'd pit Pacifica's fog against any in the world! Strange, I often miss it.

        1. This guy paid for undercoating! What a sucker!Man, the worst ever saw was Cleveland. Get an inch or two of lake effect snow every day, they wouldn’t plow, just salt it. Compared to the northeast, I’d say the Bay Area is a time capsule for cars. My flunky, I mean, unpaid intern, is from Pacifica. I’ll have to ask him if he had rust problems…
