I have come to expect a lot of things from the City and County of San Francisco, but not anything for free.

As I walked out of the train staion today a trio of red-wigged young ladies were handing out sealed bottles of water. I admit I wanted some. Unfortunately, a dude wearing orange shoes and an Ubisoft satchel were left high and dry just like me. The ladies left the terminal without so much as a "Happy Valentine's Day."

So, off walked orange-shoe-guy and I to our respective places of employment, sans water.
