I've had fun parking in SF. How would I know there is cheaper parking 1 or three blocks away until after I parked? Should I be using my smart phone while driving around? Can I, legally? What if I have a (gasp, the horror) dumb phone?

He meant Charlene. I know, because I was on the aforementioned trip too, and we were able to have some all-too-brief time with her. I've never met Catherine.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
