Hand of God

A large chunk of Telegraph Hill came roaring down out of the night in a rock-slide before dawn Tuesday morning. Broadway Showgirls, a local business at the corner of Broadway and Montgomery Streets, was the target and one can imagine the grin on god’s face as he smote that den of iniquity. No one was hurt, so there is some doubt that god was the culprit after all. And no one is out of a job. The nice ladies and gentlemen serving drinks, dancing, and hustling business at the door, all 125 of them have been reassigned to work at the Gold Club and the Hustler Club. A boulder the size of a Volkswagen ended up in management’s offices. Was this a warning from the big guy, or a simple coincidence? If you lean toward the coincidence theory, I have to ask what you make of the 4.2 quake in Lafayette yesterday? Another coincidence? I think not. There was after all, a similar quake just a week ago. I think god is just getting warmed up to finally smite all the evil doers in the Bay Area. If I had any valuable data there, I’d get it out on Amazon S3 before the final smiting begins.
