All I want to do in life is write a hit country music song that features a distinctive and somewhat rare name in the title that propels that name in popularity as a baby name for one, maybe two, years, making those people's birth years instantly guessable, forever. A common dream, I imagine.

In an exciting rare display, a Noe Valley labradoodle, of which only 4,783 are known to exist within the 1 square mile surrounding 24th and Castro, tugs on its leash, turns its head sideways in absolute confusion and then lunges to eat a half-eaten fro-yo off the sidewalk. Nature βΒ amazing.

If national media really wanted to do an exposΓ© on the dangers of living in S.F., theyβd park a camera at a busy intersection and watch drivers recklessly drive their cars around pedestrians. The next concern would be a far far second place, and Iβm not even sure what it would be.

As someone who walks a dog around SF for long stretches, Iβd love if we had more businesses where you could walk up to a street-side window. Coffees to go seems to be a missing niche.

One thing that other sports should take from baseball is having the coaches dress exactly like how the players are dressed. Football coaches, full pads. Boxing, silk shorts and gloves. Swimming, etc.

When Siri responds with a clear authoritative-yet-friendly humanlike voice that says, βI donβt have an answer to that. Is there something else I can help you with?β, I really feel the power of its answer artificial intelligence.

I find the guesstimated "revive Alcatraz" budgets surprisingly high. As a local, I can say Alcatraz Island is known for its year-round dry, low-humidity climate, and its landlocked nature lends itself to being impervious to beach and wind erosion.

I have the over/under of a biker or ped getting seriously hurt on Valencia Street at two weeks.
I consider myself an attentive and experienced city biker, and I had an average of one close call per block yesterday. Jaywalkers, car doors swinging out, cars pulling out of spots, etc. Itβs not good!

The DMV should list how long each of their processes take:
Examples:

* 3-5 business days
* Your progeny will shoulder this burden through generations to come.
