Lombard between Webster and Baker isn't that bad a street to walk in the early evening if you have headphones and are listening to Leo Kottke's "Eggtooth."

There are worse places to be than this, it's still the greatest country in the world despite its many flaws, and much worse lives we could be living.

Though you can't help but see the big hole in the ground that they're making, you don't have to hear it since you're listening to Leo Kottke on Pandora.

The two-time mayor was Elvis. His wife is either Linda Ronstadt or one of the lead singers for Fleetwood Mac, it's difficult to tell which.

The ex-mayor's wife wants to be the first woman mayor of a smaller and smaller and somewhat diminished republic comprised of people of greater and greater wealth that make up the bulk of her constituency, though she won't say so quite yet.
