The signs at the beach warn you about hazardous surf, riptide, and post-rainstorm bacteria, but they don’t warn you about dangers like this! Spotted May 9 at 6:30 PM, Ocean Beach.
Two aging fugitives met today at a chain cafe by the bus depot. Commuters, absorbed in their thoughts, wandered past as the fugitives shared stories of life on the lam, venting their frustrations over stale wine and a Mediterranean plate. Inside, at a table near the restrooms, two office workers shared a plate of buffalo wings and traded tips on the best ways to waste the hours between 3 and 5 PM.
Spotted in Berkeley on Sacramento St. near Hopkins, May 17, 10:23 PM. Appears to have been dropped on the run. Could this be connected to the recent reports of a bellowing simian creature in the area?
WELCOME!!!!!!
We like to keep this area free from debris of all kinds, including crumbs, pocket lint, and skin cells. THANKS!!
Spotted trying to blend in with the jellyfish, at 7:40 PM on May 3, Ocean Beach.
Spotted at 8:42 AM on May 2, 42nd and Geary.
I thought I found a lucky spot in the Berkeley Bowl parking lot — until I opened the door and this peel was right underfoot! Spotted on 3/22 at 12:19 PM.
When the building residents heard noises from the vacant apartment, they assumed it was rats. Bonnie Beard had her husband call the Tenants’ Association to complain, and they informed him that the New Neighbors were moving in! Bonnie quickly spread the word.
Sigrid in Apt 5 always hosts a catered party for new neighbors, in an attempt to win them over before they get to know her habits.
The New Neighbors have never felt so welcome! “Our old neighbors were so judgemental…We finally feel at home!” croaked Jerry, the unofficial spokesman for the group.
Some places are just peel magnets! You might remember the infamous Watchout Week of January 18-24, when a new peel appeared in the same spot at 43rd and Clement every few days. This pile o’peels was neglected for a while, but got back in action on March 20.
Back in action: March 20 at 8:34 AM
Remember this peel from March 6? It was still there on March 21 — almost unrecognizable.
Dried-up and lonely: March 21, 5:15 PM, Geary and 44th.
Spotted on March 16, near West Grand Avenue in Oakland.
Spotted today at 5:55 PM, on Sloat and Great Highway.
Spotted on March 6 at 5:25 PM, on a ledge at Geary and 41st Ave. It was probably left there sometime that morning or maybe the morning before, judging by the dregs in that cup. There are some papery fragments in the cup too, but not sure what they are — I didn’t get too close.
Spotted today at 5:45 PM on the Presidio cliffs. Nice view, but watchout!
Ahem…. could you hurry it up please? Other people are waiting to pick out their snacks too!
Spotted at 10:40 AM on January 25, outside a Dumpster near Lands End.
Spotted on February 22 at around 5PM, on the lawn at 42nd and Clement.
Just an ordinary day at 2nd and Grey. People tend to congregate here for whatever reason.
Tonight at the local fry pit, this onion joined a group of popular customers eating burgers at a window table. “He’s a Maui Sweet onion,” explained a head of lettuce. “He always knows what to say.”
“He’s a real smoothie,” agreed a chocolate milkshake. “He told me I was fat free… and I believed him!”
Later, the onion left with the group and the other ingredients weren’t sorry. The fry pit staff were also relieved: “He was the worst onion in the bag,” said one. ”I could smell him a mile away. I’m glad he’s gone.”
