Bailed on Thanksgiving road trip to folks in Idaho due to bad weather (high winds, two feet of snow). Will be back in SF around 4 p.m. Any other Thanksgiving orphans up for dinner tonight?

I just bought a truck camper. It needs some restoration work before it’s entirely road worthy. Anyone know of a lot / back yard where I could put it while I work on it / live in it? I’m willing to pay up to $500.00 / month for the appropriate space. See pictures below for what it looks like. The ideal location would be somewhere in Mountain View, but anywhere in the South Bay would work. This is a long term project, so I would expect it to take between 6 months – 1 year. I would also need to store some materials outside of the camper. Estimated space needs are 300 ft2.
Thanks!

Why I’m Happy I Became a Prostitute
23-Nov-10
The longer I’ve worked, the more it seems that the sex is often a front. It’s an entry point that allows men to make their real request (for affection, understanding, and connection) while still satisfying stereotypical ideas of masculinity. What most men want is a great romance or, at the very least, a great friendship. They want to feel like they’re falling in love. They want to feel loved in return.
The clients who do want to have sex—and of course, there are many—don’t want that sex to be uncomfortable or unpleasant for me. They want to me to take pleasure in the act as well. They want to feel attractive and competent and gentle and attentive. Many of them are all of those things.

Three of them kept me awake as I drove from San Mateo to St. George, Utah overnight. Although I started to get the shakes at 3:30 a.m. and time slowed to a crawl around 7:30 am.
Automatic Mechanical Self Replication

The notion that inanimate matter can self-replicate is counter-intuitive to many people. Using wooden mechanical machines, this video does a great job of explaining how it can happen.
