I admit I waited 20 seconds for this man and blue to walk into frame. 20 seconds before I missed capturing a young lady walking past me. I was only giving the shot about a minute.
I rang Mrs. Wong to congratulate her on her project finally going forward after literally years of red tape.
Meanwhile I noticed the guy in blue was still standing there and he was filming me. He said he has been instructed to keep tabs on who is keeping tabs on him.
Normally when I meet a civic employee I think him or her for their service. I probably met this guy before.
Also I may not of reported here I was giving a citation a moving violation so to speak even though I was stopped at a stop light at Lytton and Ramona blocks from my house having answered my phone to say I can’t talk right now I’m in my car.

I mention this to Jim Keene the city manager at the time and he said he would talk to the chief agreeing with me this is a silly way to increase Public Safety .
I ended up paying the ticket because my wife interceded and did not want me to fight

And he acknowledged it by saying he knew felstiner but quickly went back to his list.

I saw her at the bottom of the hill in 2000 or so.
I have No idea if I downloaded this or a Marilee streaming it it keeps playing the track after the one before; I’m afraid I’m going to get a bill for $10 per download whereas I believe I am paying $10 per month where is initially it was $.99 per month. But bingo I waited through 17,000 of my photos on this Doohickey defined the thing I’m describing:
That would be a depiction of Chan Marshall PKA cat power, some Hopi pottery including something by the great dextra, a mother and son, a mother and son, and a woman from Palo alto pretending she is the flying nun; Plus Cornell West as framed by Astra Taylor, Ripped for a multimedia work by a female artist in the SF mama collection. (And therefore I’m going to tag or file this under SF moma)
