Yes. There were some 'fun days' with bridge toll takers. In 1997 Heron arrived at the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge and handed toll taker TWO Ike Dollars. She refused them. She wanted paper money.
I asked her politely to call the Toll Taker Supervisor. Took about 8 minutes to find him. (Autos backing up behind el Heron's S-10 Blazer).
Finally the supervisor arrived and told the Toll Taker to accept them in
payment. What a day? (Then Heron drove to the large Law Library in
S.F. on a trouble shooting 'visit'. Maint Electrician was waiting for Heron at main entrance. We went into basement where the 'equpt room' was located. Then Heron was told that something might be wrong with either the motor, a 20 HP 1800 RPM standard general purpose type operating a ventilation fan. Heron took a look at the 'starter' and discovered that it was a variable speed electronic unit and 'soft starter' in one unit. Heron said crank her up! And the maint man threw the switch and the motor shot hot sparks outta it plus the electronic unit
went bananas. Result: Heron sells a new 'starter variable speed unit'
and a 20 HP motor. The 'rest of the story'? Dunno. Never found out what happened but most likely the Law Library was reimbursed for
the equipt. (probably through insurance). Some endings we never
knew about. So, Heron had fun at the bridge entrance AND the big
Law Library of San Fran, all in one day.
