Break for freedom! An ostrich escaped from a truck crossing the Golden Gate Bridge during yesterday's commute, much to the entertainment of everyone except its owner. There is certainly no denying that the picture is hilarious.
That strip club Centerfolds was held up in an attempted armed robbery yesterday. Even though they didn't make off with any money, about five zillion cops showed up, including a SWAT team and a bomb squad -- just in case! "Ma'am, we'll need to do a verrrry thorough search." Hee! (Okay, to be fair, they thought the robbers might still be in the building, but come on -- hysterically funny to see a huge swarm of interested-looking cops congregating outside Centerfolds!)
And there was a bomb scare in the Haight yesterday too, on a no. 7 bus. It turned out it was just a toolbox someone left behind -- but you know the bomb squadders who deactivated it were bummed that they weren't on the Centerfolds detail instead. ("Ma'am, we'll have to do a verrrry thorough search.") The Sentinel has their usual crack reporting and photography for both SFPD events.

I was in that four-block area. Guess I wasn't important enough to be evacuated. Hurray trivial me!
I was walking around North Beach at lunch yesterday and wondering why there were hovering police copters and why Mobile Command One was screaming around the corner. Then I saw the news and nearly died laughing. I get that they thought it was still a risky situation, but didn't the massive show of force not happen until 4 hours or something after the robbers showed up? I'm sure the cops were taking every precaution but it really looked like the cops all just wanted to go to a strip club.
