I assume (but don't know)---in the San Francisco sequence as he psychotically departs from the intersection of Hyde and Chestnut Street down the Hyde St cable car tracks towards the Ghiradelli Square/Aquatic Park area---that the black thing he is holding in his hand is some sort of control of for a disc brake on the rear wheels? The rotors and pads of which...would be glowing red hot and dripping bits of flaming debris as he comes to a stop before being mashed to by crossing traffic on Bay street at the bottom of the hill? Sort of like in those emergency runway brake tests they do for airliners?

One album I can listen to all the way through is Anberlin's album "Cities". It has a good mix of harder (for this kind of alternative rock) and softer songs, the instrumentation is interesting and the lyrics are pretty mature.

Alexithymia is my favorite song, but they are all good.

>> ^asynchronice:
Is skateboarding seriously illegal anywhere in San Francisco ? If so, that's ridiculous.


From the City and County of San Francisco Board of Supervisors' web site [emphasis mine]:

a) Prohibits skateboarding on any city street at any time, on any sidewalk in any business district at any time, and on any non-business district sidewalk commencing 30 minutes after sunset and ending 30 minutes before sunrise (Traffic Code, Section 100)

b) Prohibits skateboarding "in or about any public transit station (including an outdoor high-level boarding platform), streetcar, cable car, motor coach, trolley coach or other public transit vehicle, including, but not limited to, those stations or vehicles operated by the Bay Area Rapid Transit District" (Traffic Code, Section 128)

c) Prohibits skateboarding in Yerba Buena Gardens, the Japanese Tea Garden, the Arboretum, Conservatory Valley, where it is posted as prohibited, and in South Beach Park or Rincon Park unless otherwise permitted (Park Code Sections 3.05 and 11.02 and Port Code Sections 2.4 and 7.2).

d) Requires skateboarders at skating facilities owned or operated by the City and County to wear helmets, kneepads, and elbow pads (Park Code Section 4.17).

svh summed it up nicely, and in so fewer words and less.....emotive fervor, than choggie-When in San Francisco for 4 years, chog had a skateboard, and a MUNI pass...he took the cable car up, and the skateboard down....SF is a model, of an efficient transit system. They have subways, buses,cable cars, electric trains and buses, the tube under the bay, taxis, and.......IT IS ONLY SEVEN SQAURE MILES!!!! Helllooo???!!!

In Houston or LA, you are fucked for one, just being there, even more so without a car.

Again, until fossil fuels are old school tech, in can only get worse. Again, the technologies that would allow this, are controlled, repressed, or unavailable. but...

THEY ARE HERE NOW!! Not available to all monkeys, because of the paradigm we a trapped in, that proclaims, "Me, Mine, More!" Enjoy it, or risk life, limb, and leisure to change it.....or simply wait at a goddamn bus stop....

Choggie will try not to splash water on you, when he whizzes by in his 8-cylidre, pick-up, on the shoulder, around monkeys waiting for other monkeys, text-messaging their girlfriends, or other-wise making life miserably slow.

Alaska is looking better and better, as an alternative to expatriation....deathcow, make me a pallet, on the floor.....
