Transient Memo

I found this in an ashtray outside of work this morning, complete with dime and wristband on it.

3 Excited Legs

I was walking back to work after having lunch in Chinatown and I nearly stepped on this note looking up at me. Something made me reach down and pick it up and stick it in my shirt pocket.

Astounding Girl

In 2003 I was collecting science fiction stories and books to vote on the Retro Hugo Award for best SF from 1953. I bought a bunch of 1953 dated science fiction magazines at Kayo Books in San Francisco.

Stan or Bryan or Beezy

I found this folded up in a booth at the restaurant I used to work at. A bunch of high schoolers in town seeing a play had just left.

Picnic!

Had to wait 30 minutes for my doctor to see me, but it was worth it when I found this torn photo in the waiting room.
