Cheryl Morgan has started a petition for a cause I can get behind.

As some of you may know, my good friends at Borderlands Books in San Francisco are working on opening a cafe next to their store. In order to do so they need to get planning permission, which is not always a straightforward proposition, city bureaucracies being what they are. So the application needs support. There’s a petition in the store that you can sign, but if you can’t get into San Francisco (and I know that Borderlands has fans all around the world) then you can help out by adding a comment below.

As I've said many times before, Borderlands Books is one of the top independent bookstores in the country, and Alan Beatts and Jude Feldman are two of my favorite people in the world. If you've any experience with them or with the store and agree with me, do your good deed for the day (or your mitzvah, if you prefer) and go sign the petition that Cheryl's posted.
