Dispatches from Sunny California:

Zreg reports on SF's homeless population's geography prowess:

This morning, I was walking along the Embarcadero (the road that goes along the waterfront) wearing my Brown sweatshirt. I passed two bums sitting on a bench. After I went by, one of them shouted, "Hey, isn't Brown in Providence, RI?" It's good to see that Brown is well-known amongst bums.

Followed by Steve's quip:

I thought your story was going to end with "I graduated there" or "I got my Ph.D. there" or "I was tenured there."
