Whoops. It appears that I've moved my car in the nick of time. They sure do go crazy with the chalk markings to make sure you've moved your car.

It's only been recently that the houses on my side of the street have been eligible for "letter" parking -- that is, a neighborhood permit for extended parking on, say, the street next to my house. Well, I had found the Holy Grail of parking -- an alley nearby with letter parking which doesn't have street cleaning. I actually said things like "I'd like to go [somewhere] but I'll lose my parking space." I'm definitely a real San Franciscan now. Well, all good things must come to an end...
