Played hooky

S, D, and I zig-zagged across town on trolleys and cable cars, touching down at the Hyatt with the cool lobby and the cable car museum before coming to light on the Hyde Street Pier. They have some spiffy sailing vessels at the Hyde Street Pier. Then (as I had tired of waiting in the drizzle for transit) we got a cab over to Green Apple. Bookshopping ensued. We went back to my place. K&D went to M's; S and I took naps. AL showed up and we went to M's for pizza. yum.

Secrets of getting lots of responses to a classified ad

Include a picture and lowball the asking price. It's really just that simple.

Rather more difficult is getting stuff sold when your spam trap decides to hold all those responses hostage. *sigh*

On the bright side, today I got to look at ferries with Tiger. :)

1 window seat emptied

I had etiquette, games, and humor shelved in the front. I don't think they're all going to make it to the new place. If anone wants a copy of Coyote v. Acme, let me know.

Inside were the old books with our relatives' names written inside, the fragile ones wrapped in newspaper. I'm keeping those. I'm just not sure where.

Hot hot hot

I suppose watching a Top Chef episode that was filmed in the desert heat should be bringing me some kind of perspective, but no. It was too hot to sleep here last night, and tonight is shaping up the same.

I need to get some rest. And maybe a fan.

Nice out

Had lunch al fresco today. It was tasty, except for the vast pile of mushrooms that I had to pick off my salad.*
