But I Loved Your Bed
FOUND by Al in the corner of Drumm & Sacramento, San Francisco, CA
I was out on a walk during lunch and found this note on the sidewalk, blowing in the breeze.

Now THAT's an excellent example of the lost art of Thank-You notes. The context and handwriting indicate that she is from Italy, where apparently written appreciation is still important to some people.

Okay, it's a great note, but I was wondering whether it was written by a homeless person who had broken into someone's vacation cabin rather than by a legitimate house-sitter. What do I know?

I loved your bed so much, that I invited my friends to come share it. Hope you don't mind the mess we left on the sheets.

PS
Please excuse the mess on the toilet seat, as I have little control over my bowels and the washroom at the deli that I usually use has been closed to the public.

Awww! I wuv the wittle doggy!!

She's carrying the image of WHAT? the men running on the Bay Bridge? She should truck on over to Berkeley/Emeryville/Oakland some early AM and she'll carry an entirely different image.

San Francisco is the most beautiful city I've ever visited. Even the homeless bums under the overpass were neat and tidy.

She even left them food. That's a nice house guest, obviously raised up right.

I think she is carring the image of the Sun Rising on the bay bridge.

And what is it with stuff blowing down California's sidewalks, anyway? This Find was "on the sidewalk, blowing in the breeze" in San Francisco. Yesterday we had a Los Angeles homeless guy's "open bag with things spilling out, this polaroid blowing away."

Well, at least people are picking up this conbustible material so it doesn't feed the wild fires.

Jenny, Jenny, who can I turn to?
Looks like there's a phone number on the back (upper left corner) 872-8946? Maybe.

Librarian, where I live, the wind's almost always blowing. (And if you're riding a bicycle, it doesn't matter which direction you're headed- you're facing a head wind.-- I think that's because of the dome they put over our fair city because of all the glowing toxic waste-- EEEPA!)

I digress. That steady, constant wind blows many a Find down the street.

That was my first thought too. Thank goodness I didn't just ramble on about it. What in the world did any of that mean? Granted, it's 3:30 a.m. here and I'm drunk too...but jeeze...you might as well right it in Australian. Isn't that the saying? Might as well be Australian to me. I'm gonna go find my afghan---or borzoi---as they like to be called now and curl up for a nice sleep. Hopefully the bitchfest won't resume. I'd sure hate to miss any of it.

And Yes, Latrice needs to be shot.

Well, who knew?
"...well, he took it all out on poor latrice..and she liked it. alot."

That was the only part of that punctuationally* and paragraphically challenged story that I actually absorbed. And I am now, somehow, curiously aroused.

Like when I listen to Dave Gahan's Deeper and Deeper.

(*It's a word. Flargy said so. It's in the Lexicon. And I'm nominating the other one, so there.)
