No one in San Francisco gets to complain about the “cold.”

Cold without snow sounds a million times better than cold with snow. I prefer changing temperatures myself anyway. If it were as easy as just packing up a suitcase and leaving, I’d move to San Francisco in a heartbeat.

An “N” and a “Z” !

Buy them each a vowel and they get REALLY uppity, thusly…

Says the person who hasn’t been to San Francisco. I once had a roommate from Ohio who mocked us for talking about how cold it could get. But after 6 or 8 months he ate his words. We have “the dead of July” here. Trust me, it gets cold in a way that you wouldn’t expect in a place that doesn’t get snow. The cold sticks to you.

I fear revolving doors. Namely because I misjudged the size of one once while my future mother in law was in it. My brain apparently had a mini stroke as we approached the door and as she entered I went in with her. We immediately got stuck and had to shuffle step very slowly to get out. For some reason my wife still married me after that, good woman.

It’s not that surprising, actually, or that uncommon. My great-grandpa was pushed down by one that revolved too fast and broke his hip. He died a month later.

San Francisco is surprisingly cold. Some people have the idea in their heads that it must be warm all year because it’s in California. I will say, though, that living in Chicago the past few years has taught me that it gets much, much worse.

Well, many doormen actually do more than just opening doors. I know the one that worked at my grandmother’s highrise also acted as the bellhop and security. He was responsible for screening visitors and deliveries and helped carry luggage.

That’s cute, but doesn’t it mean he’d be out of a job?

Revolving doors are all just fine until somebody loses an eye.

Or something.

I always feel like I’m gonna be squooshed in them because people can be pretty aggressive pushing at them, and I’m sort of a dawdler.

How big must that one jacket be for so many men to be able to share it?

I’m with the doorman on this– I want to still be paid while a contraption does the mundane work for me.

I grew up idolizing George Jetson.
