Spent the weekend in the Bay Area looking at some boats. Haven't been there in about 10 years and not much has seemed to change, maybe a little more expansion in the Southern area.
Traffic was almost a pleasure compared to the Seattle area, people used blinkers, moved right accept to pass, kept moving and didn't perform a couple brake checks when getting ready to merge onto the freeway. I heard of one accident, but can't confirm as I didn't see a single accident all weekend. The food was fantastic, I don't think you can find a bad restaurant in San Fran. No matter what type of espresso you order, you get a latte, a bad one. Lots of dirty, patchouli oil wearing, smelly hippies everywhere and apparently more Pro-Obama stickers and signs than the combined population, now I understand why you seem so disgruntled at times.
Swung through Oakland on the way to Alameda and decided I should do my best to blend in so I dent pulled a 76 Jaguar xj6 with a thumpin' stereo and grabbed a can of orange spray paint to tag some freeway signs on 880, all in all a pretty good weekend, might even return sometime soon.
You really don't have it so bad Hank.
