Moving status, Saturday Edition
So far moving has been an adventure.
Friday, 10AM, Tenderloin District Police Station.
“I would like a no parking permit for Mason St.”
Officer in charge of permits: “Oh the old Olympic Hotel eh? There used to be a “massage parlor” in there if you know what I mean.”
Me, making conversation, said, “Yeah, the prostitutes used to crawl up the fire escape and go into the units downstairs.”
The permit officer replied, “Were they hot?”
My reply well, let’s just say…
TENDERLOIN PERMIT: DENIED

“Excuse me sir,” I said to the construction forman who is doing all the work on my block, “Do you mind if I park here while I’m moving out?”
“No problem, and thanks for asking.”
