"Dawn is coming up in San Francisco now: 6:09 A.M. ...at the Seal Rock Inn...
out here at the far end of Geary Street: this is the end of the line, for buses and everything else, the western edge of America.
....but I have a powerful aversion to working in offices, and when I didn't show up for three or four days, they decided to do the only logical thing: move the office out here to the Seal Rock Inn"
