Too many pants. I left six pair of pants on the sidewalk this morning in the hopes that they'll go away. I think they probably will. They're OK pants, just not my favorite. I didn't advertise, though. I thought about making a sign that said FREE PANTS, mostly for the humor factor (for some reason, the word "pants" is humorous -- e.g., Worldwide Pants), but I realized I didn't have my camera, so what's the point. In the neighborhood I first lived in San Francisco, Lower Haight, I wouldn't have needed to advertise. Nor wonder whether or not the pants would be gone later. The bet would be whether or not they'd be gone in three minutes or five. Noe Valley is slightly more upper crusty. By upper crusty, I mean less people walking around in need of pants.
