This morning in Santa Cruz:
Fritz: Did you decide what kind of bike to get?
Laura: Oh, I got it already! I bought a singlespeed from Mission.
Fritz: Are you talking about that bike shop on Mission by Bay Street?
Laura: No, it’s on Valencia.
[Big pause as I think “There’s a Valencia Street in Santa Cruz?” when it dawns on me…]
Fritz: Ohhhh, you’re talking about Mission Bicycle in San Francisco. Very nice!
