That's it. I'm totally getting those "Chris Wiggum for Mayor!" buttons and stickers made. I knew Lori and I weren't alone. p.s. always good to see Chris Wiggum, the man about town. Especially on the beaches of Bolinas on the 4th of July!

1. "Wacky," not "whacky." 2. What is so obscure about Romeo Void? 3. I also can recall a shank from which I haven't fully recovered. But that one was made out of a melted toothbrush handle and I got it between the second and third ribs at the old S.F. County Jail in San Bruno. A very fine interview, all in all. Your pal, thatguywhokeepscorrectingthings

Chris Wiggum here: Seamus, you are so right. My interpretation of the Economist article may have been a bit loose. But you nailed it, and as a now 30 something looking towards starting a family, the prospect of staying in SF looks dire. I want a house and schools and don't think I can afford either here. It's horribly depressing, cuz I don't want to move, ever. But in the next decade, I most likely will. That article really was a distillation of my problems with this town.

It's always a pleasure to see Chief Wiggum's smiling face at all the film festivals. Also, I was getting tired of the salted caramel so I will have to move on to strawberry balsamic at the Bi-Rite. Thanks for the recommendation.

The Strawberry Balsamic at BiRite Creamery is indeed wondrous. Honey Lav is very nice; like eating flowers (in a good way). The Ritual Coffee Toffee is amazing. Personally, I wasn't crazy about the milk Choc Chai flavor.

Nice interview. I read that Economist piece as well, and I don't think the problem is with attracting "young people and tastemakers" out of college, it's with retaining them after they move past their 20s and into family mode. SF is healthy with post-college bar-hoppers and middle-aged DINKs. But with unpredictable school assignments, unacceptable crime, filthy parks, and unsustainable home prices, families of all social classes are forced to move elsewhere. Sorry, no number of free days at the Exploratorium will make this better. Not to stick that on you, Wiggum. Keep sending us to the good stuff.
