white zaffiro tires

a guy called today with a typical fixed-gear-parts-related-question, followed by a question so absurd that i thought he was just fucking with me.

guy: "hi. do you guys carry the white zaffiro tires?"

me: "yes. they are. . . let me see. . . $30. we also have the gran compe white tires for $60 each."

guy: "ok. um. . . do you have any experience with these tires? i mean, do they get dirty easily?"

me: (at a loss for words)"well, um. . . .they are white. they get dirty pretty much as soon as you leave your house. you could clean them, i suppose, but that would be sort of a losing proposition. unless you just like your tires to be clean. . ."

guy: "ok, thanks. bye!"

wtf, i DID vote NO on prop 8?!

hi A,

some resident keeps posting stickers on the front door that say "vote NO on prop 8."

1. not that it has any relevance whatsoever, but i did vote NO on prop 8.
2. unfortunately, prop 8 passed on election day.
3. election day was 3 days ago.
4. i've scraped off 3 stickers already, and another one is now posted.
5. i don't know if some resident has a personal vendetta against an unknown person in the building they believe to be a proponent of prop 8, but thats just not the case. i'm removing the stickers because they are vandalism, and its my job.
6. can you please print some letter advising them not to do so, i'd rather not make a sign and get personally involved in this pointless banter.

thank you!
