Mission Mission

"I eat hipsters for breakfast"

In spite of the fact this video was upload by KQED 8 months ago and is not Mission-related, I am posting it anyways.  Besides, is it really a stretch to think about how awesome it would have been to be mauled by a 13-foot tall bear running 40 miles-per-hour while you were riding a camel to get a burrito?  Yeah, I didn’t think so.

Go watch KQED QUEST: Ice Age Bay Area.  Your boss won’t mind; it was 12 minutes you were not going to spend working anyways.

eviloars is killing it lately.  Just follow him on flickr and stop reading this blog.  Go ahead; we won’t mind.

From a Carlos Reyes post called Street Skating (beware the autoplay, Eve).

SF Appeal reports:

Here’s the scoop on what went down this morning in the BART delays: SFPD arrested 27 year old Dion Jackson on drug charges after a kind of exciting pursuit: Jackson fled from officers, entered the 16th and Mission BART station, and ran along the trackway. BART turned off the power (and, of course, the trains) during the pursuit.

Carleigh says:

Scott was hit by a car early this morning crossing 23rd @ Shotwell with dog. Scott can’t see. The coward didn’t say a word and drove off.

did anyone see an SUV hit a blind man crossing the street early this am? 23rd and Folsom; walking dog; hit n run; not cool.
