Laughing Through Glass

NOB HILL--Probably the BEST of all Flying Star spectator sports is looking out the big front windows watching people parallel park. Who can forget the day several years ago when a frustrated woman, after a good 20 minutes of very entertaining see-sawing, left her car 7 or 8 feet from the curb and went in to have a cup of coffee.

But this morning had an even better angle. A GLASS truck got too close to the newspaper machines on the sidewalk, and the driver was too stubborn to get out to take a look. Machines were dancing. Glass was shaking. People inside were roaring. Finally Oscar straighten a few of them out, and the guy came inside to get one to go. Leaving was even better, as he had to back up to clear the car in front of him. This time he did have to get out and rearrange the sidewalk items. I ran outside and snapped the picture, but didn't manage to get the driver's laughing face!
