  • A man named Michael jumped onto the 24th Street BART tracks just as a Daly City-bound train was approaching. Wearing a shirt that said Viva la Revolucion and chanting “You have the power,” he said he was occupying the tracks because he was sick of sleeping on the streets for six years.

     

    Witnesses on the platform began waving their arms frantically at the driver, and the train came to a screeching halt just within a foot of hitting him.

  • Dear Jane, 

      I do not have any money so am sending you this drawing I did of a spider instead. I value the drawing at $233.95 so trust that this settles the matter.
