The San Francisco Adult Municipal Softball League had a website, regular updates, images, banners, and text. Sounds good, right? The trouble was that the updates were too difficult and time consuming to do.

Scam: Compliance Annual Minutes Board
I got a very official looking letter from the “Compliance Annual Minutes Board” telling me I had to pay $150 to comply with blah blah blah for my small business. I’m about to leave on a trip, I’m trying to quickly get things done and I was about to pay the $150 but I thought I’d check with Wayne first and he said to make sure it was coming from (and going to the CA FTB) and I couldn’t find that anywhere. Hmm. A quick Google search got me quickly to all of these people. Lots of people have paid. It’s a scam.

Glass Company
Our double-pane windows have broken seals and need to be replaced. I had the window company over, but they said the entire windows and frames didn’t necessarily have to be replaced, just the glass.
Anyone know a local (San Francisco) glass company they like?
