So Much for Saving Money

Once again, I walked off from the BASFA meeting leaving my leftovers (earmarked for the next one or two days' lunches) on a table. And I really like those ribs, too.

SF in SF

In a little while, I'm heading up to the New College Valencia Theatre in San Francisco, where I'll meet up with cherylmorgan and we'll both attend the SF in SF reading, featuring Robert Silverberg and Kim Stanley Robinson.

I hate driving in San Francisco, so BART is my best choice. Fortunately, the event is near the 16th Street Mission station. At first glance, you'd think the best thing to do is to drive to the end of the BART line at Millbrae and take a train toward San Francisco. But thanks to the boneheaded design errors (that I and many other transit advocates pointed out at the time¹) that locks BART into serving SFO with direct trains, every Millbrae BART train gets to make a detour into SFO, where we sit while the operator changes ends and heads on back out toward The City.

Rather than deal with all that, I plan to drive to the San Bruno station (I've never been there before) and avoid the Airport Tour.
