Palin's book a bomb in Bay Area

lol....

"Our customers are thinking people," said Nathan Embretson, a bookseller at Pendragon Books in Oakland. "They're not into reading drivel."

...There are no copies of the book at Cover to Cover Booksellers in Noe Valley, either.

"Anything like that we wouldn't carry," said clerk Emily Stackhouse. "We're a small store and it would probably gross us all out. Some things you carry because of freedom of speech, but a book like that is just gross."

...Sheryl Cotleur, the head buyer for Book Passage, which operates stores in Corte Madera and San Francisco, said the two stores have sold exactly two copies of the book. That works out to one copy per store. Cotleur said two other people have asked to look at the book but no one else has asked to buy it.

5. Yep! We used to get sunshine while the other poor saps were fogged in.

Suckers! }(

I had a view to die for -- San Francisco, Bay Bridge, Berkeley Hills.

And the Castro was so close that every day was Halloween. :)

6. You must have lived on Grand View

I miss 24th Street :( And, of course, the Castro. And Spinelli's coffee before those Tully's bastards bought them out.
