Multi-purpose


The "storm of the century" hasn't quite abated yet, but it looks like the end is near. Everything's wet and there's debris everywhere.

San Francisco Bay Area citizens are dealing with the storm's multiple effects: power outages, toppled trees, leaky roofs, etc. And some apparently are coming up with creative solutions to their problems.

Roommate J and I were on the phone yesterday as he looked out the window and spotted a man whose van had apparently sprung a leak in its roof. To keep the inside of his vehicle dry, he was wrapping his car in green saran wrap! Practical and colorful!

The green was a nice addition to the patchwork quiltiness of the rest of the van. A guy walked this dog by while this was taking place and even the German Shepherd did a double take.
And now tonight police action across the street that required (not kidding) EIGHT cop cars and a gentleman screaming as he was arrested "I aint got nothin else! Go ahead! Pull my pants down!!"
I love this neighborhood!
