Berkeley miscellanea

1. [livejournal.com profile] oyceter, sorry, when I took a shower this morning one of the sliding doors fell off. I propped it against the wall. Also, can you please pop the postcards I left on the bed in with your outgoing mail?

2. While walking near the SF Fisherman's Wharf, I passed what, out of the corner of my eyes, looked like a shrubbery. Then it leaped to its feet, waving the leafy branches it had been crouched behind and shouting. I was quite startled. Especially since, eight years ago when I was there doing disaster relief for El Nino, I saw the same tree dude terrorizing tourists. I suppose it could be a different tree dude, but can one city really contain two men who disguise themselves as shrubs to frighten passersby?

3. I also saw a bride in full gown and veil, but with tennis shoes and a ratty sweater pulled over the gown, running down the street sobbing. One of the people with her explained that she had been jilted at the altar. Ouch.

The Bush Guy! Oh, Bush Guy.

And, ouch to the jilted bride. I thought that only happened on TV.

Amen. I kind of want to punch whoever she was supposed to be marrying, even if I don't know the whole story.

Ditto. Geez, poor lady.

I don't understand how, if you're considering breaking up with someone, you let it get that far.

Yes, seriously. Poor woman.
