One
day I bump into Earl, a career gu'ment employee, who has clocked
up 32 long cash-filled years at this ominous Mint. You know what
Earl told me? He said that this monstrous fort that sits atop
Mint Hill overlooking Market Street only makes coins! Yeah, they
just crank out the heavies. I was blown away. Every day that I
would walk by this place, I had thoughts of hundreds of happy
money makers in a big room swimming around in Georges, Alexanders
and Andrews. Now I have visions of them lugging countless Scrooge-looking
bags with dollar signs painted on.

I
have a grandfather who is slowly being taken over by cancer.
He's in chemotherapy and sounds very optimistic. I share his
name and birthday. I only hope he is y2k compatible.

Market
Street, the dividing line between north and south, from residential
and industrial. Market Street, the home to many homeless, the
F-Market line, tourists and the silver guy. Market Street, a belt
of pavement connecting the Embarcadero to Twin Peaks. San Francisco
would be a heartless city without Market Street.

 Hello.
Let me tell you a story. A story about a man who believed
he could own the world. This man was so rich, he could buy
the best of everything. He purchased it all, glass toilet
seats, an automatic litter box that quickly hides kitty
doo-doo, golden nasal hair clippers, and a life-sized fully-articulated
Mr.
T doll. Nobody fucked with this guy when T answered
the door. The only problem is that this man built his empire
on the backs of people who hated him. Yes, he paid them
good money and promised them career fulfillment, but he
was missing one important thing. [to be continued]

 I
dig Macromedia's
latest ad campaign. If our fair city has to be littered with big
obnoxious billboards, they might as well make you think... really
different. Macromedia makes good products too. 100% endorsed by
eddie.com. No, I wasn't paid to say that nor have a received any
free software for my endorsement, but I REALLY would like some.
Just one copy of Flash 3 in my mailbox would make me REALLY happy. |
