• The Central District News is hoping the CD and ID get a streetcar out of the passage of Proposition 1. We share their hope.

• Just in time for Thanksgiving, it's the last Capitol Hill Farmer's Market of 2008 this Sunday. We'll definitely be heading to the market, rain or shine, for some local ingredients for the upcoming feast.

There's a really old Filipino guy who lives up the street from us that takes our bus to a food bank downtown in the morning. His English sucks, which would be more of a problem if he ever wanted to talk about anything outside of his three favorite topics: the nationality of everyone on the street, genocide and Hitler. He loves talking about Hitler. He once even greeted us at a crowded bus stop in the morning with a heil Hitler hand salute, complete with a heel click and everything. Our attempts to explain how uncool that was were kind of lost in translation, though, and we ended up just ignoring him for weeks. On the way downtown he occupies himself with folding bus schedules into origami cranes and handing them to people, mostly to all the young women who are sitting nearby, which they love, of course, and which kind of pisses us off. Whatever, old guy, they love the cranes. Why don't you show them the heil Hitler? more ›
