Mission Mission

Quite possibly the greatest incidental license plate ever, spotted in the SOMA on a Saturday night, and hopefully descriptive of exactly what was happening at the moment inside of that particular Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Kinda sounds like the premise of the climax scene (starting at 3:00) of the second-greatest music video ever, the BANNED VERSION of “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, available for your viewing pleasure below:

Some may view this as a thinly veiled passive aggressive attempt to keep drunk hipsters out of the park during one of the hottest Saturdays of the year, but I don’t quite see it that way.

Rather, the City was trying to throw the neighborhood a sprinkler party, but sadly no one seemed to want to participate.

Que lastima?

Police seemed perplexed as to how this Mercedes actually ended up on its side here at an auto garage on the corner of Mission and Ocean, but any Grand Theft Auto veteran will tell you that it happens all the time.

A quick glance around the scene revealed some clues.  The bent parking meter and pole hinted at some sort of badly-miscalculated shortcut attempt, which, judging from the scattered debris, must have been undertaken at considerable velocity.

Still, not quite something you see everyday.

Happy Friday, everybody! Who wants a new pet?

KevMo at Uptown Almanac hipped us to this beautiful video of the making of Tartine Bakery’s delicious loaves. It goes on to show two other folks following the Tartine recipes and baking on their own at a small cafe and in the home. The latter featured baker is non other than the delightful Marié Abe, accordion babe!
