Heeeeeeeey, now that's an idea.

sf could be the darling of redstate and freerepublic. She'd get a
lot of attention (positive for a change, LOL) as the brave,
plucky person standing up for "property rights" or whatever in Leftyland
USA and nobody would ask her picky questions about "so, how does having a truck
or two bags and a pole imply that all food, housing, and income needs are
taken care of?". She could bask in the limelight and wallow in the hate.

(She hasn't answered my picky question. I've got enough slush in the soup
kitchen fund to get the standard number of guests over the Bay Bridge if it's
true.)

ObFood: local motion pork chop for dinner tonight, from Clark Summit
Farms in Marin County. The chop was about 2" thick - you don't find that
kind of chop anywhere but a specialty butcher. I brined it - the last
chops I had from this farm were a bit lean and would have benefited from
this - and pan-fried it with some Singapore seasoning from Penzey's. Yum.
