I drove into San Francisco yesterday to have lunch with Annie from Bellasugar, and I parked in my favorite parking garage. Yes, I have a favorite parking garage. It’s the Sutter Stockton Garage on Nob Hill, and as far as parking garages go, it’s awesome. It’s close enough to both Union Square and the Financial district, and finding a space is never stressful.

Four pics of the Tabbinator taken by my desk computer.
Notice his expression in the pic on the upper left. This pretty much summarizes our cat/human slave relationship to a tee.
