Prices affect parking less than San Francisco expected:
On the SFpark pilot program which sets up variable pricing for parking, and a smart phone app to help people figure out what the pricing and availability of parking is.

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.

Afraid to extrapolate on that farther: Componding Faux Pas can be dangerous to the compounder's reputation.

Actually, that visit may have been when I was still with Catherine.

Re Catherine: drop the t, change the i to an l, rearrange a bit and -- voila! -- you have Charlene! Which is, of course, what my better half meant to write. ;-)

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?
Best parking day in SF: while visiting Dan and C., Sean and Lea, driving towards Chinatown, Sean keeps saying: Park while you can, nothing will be open near Chinatown. when right as we swing by the main Chinatown gate, the spot across from it opens up and I park.
My point is: Sometimes we over-think and over-technology things,
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.
