So, we’ll admit that we are completely hooked on all sorts of herbal and homeopathic remedies. We wander down the aisles at Rainbow with awe. We love that tingly-clean feeling we imagine we feel when we splurge on a kombucha tea. We dream about detoxing out all of our sludge. ...

Continuing with our theme of mayhem in the streets, we have news of two accidents today, one involving a death. Today in San Francisco, there was a hit-and-run that left one dead and three hurt.

Cole Stratton isn't just one of the founders of SF Sketchfest, which starts tomorrow. (Are you going? We are, and you should, too.)

Scared enough yet, with all this talk about Avian Bird Flu and quarantines and the Government saying "we got it under control" and the TomKat pregnancy? Well get ready 'cause things are about to get scarier. Some computer scientist at UC Davis just put together some new fangled computer system and determined that there is a 25% chance that there will be huge earthquake somewhere within 150 miles of San Francisco in the next twenty years. ...

"Because tonight, tonight, tonight - oh. Gonna make it right, tonight, tonight, tonight - oh." In the immortal words of Phil Collins, we're referring to our SFist shindig down at Milk, which everyone within the sight of these words should be attending tonight.
