Mission Mission

Therefore:

(Been hearing this on the jukebox at 500 Club a lot lately.) (Irma Thomas is playing at Jazz Fest in New Orleans this year btw along with Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beck and Snoop Dogg.) (I saw her at Yoshi’s once back when it existed, and it was pretty unforgettable.)

Earlier this month a wild pig terrorized some neighbors near Dolores Park. Well, we’re happy to report the pig, whose name is Janice btw, is safe and sound and nowhere near the Mission.

SF Gate reports:

A little piggy has been adopted after she got loose and sent Good Samaritans on a hog hunt through San Francisco’s Mission District this month.

Janice the wayward piglet’s new home will be with Al Wolf, director of Sonoma County Reptile Rescue in Sebastopol, San Francisco Animal Care and Control announced Friday.

“We’re gonna miss her,” said Deb Campbell, a spokeswoman for San Francisco Animal Care and Control, the shelter where Janice has been staying. “She’s so awesome. She’s so cute.”

The 10-pound porker led a group of people on a chase on Dolores Street on March 8, running under cars to evade her pursuers and prompting a police officer to block traffic in the area. Brother Damian of the Society of Saint Francis headed the pursuit.

“We had a three-block up-and-down and up-and-down chase,” he said the day of Janice’s capture.

By the time Doc’s Clock is gone

Don’t wanna take that for granted
But honestly

From a pal of mine on Facebook:

I’m gonna try it.

Local social anthropologist David Enos tells you all about your new roommates:

Kev knew you’d be a good fit for this household. He likes the place to be tidy and he can tell that you do, too. Sometimes his girlfriend will be visiting from out of town. It will be hot and heavy. They might be taking showers together. There might be an extra Reach toothbrush in the holder. Kev wants to know up front: are you cool with this?
