Be grateful .......

Be grateful your career isn’t drilling for water.  It is the only job where you start out at ground level then go down from there then when you become successful (strike water) you’re fired.  

Rest in Peace

It was only a matter of time before the end came. After years of loyal service it was inevitable I guess but nonetheless a great loss of a supporter and personal sponsor. We lost a great friend and motivator that greeted us every morning with bitterness and energy all mixed into one formula that helped get us out the door on time to face the trials and tribulations in the world.  May you R.I.P. “Fabareware, Superfast and Fully Automatic percolator” coffee pot, we’ll miss you most on those cold foggy San Francisco sunrises.  Your replacement will never be able to fill your basket.

The City's homeless people are lucky

I don't mean lucky to be homeless, come on think more positive.  Recently I’ve been seeing several homeless people walk down the sidewalks of San Francisco's Financial District on Market Street and south of 6th, then suddenly they jump off the curb directly into speeding traffic.  I don’t know how the person makes it across without being hit by a bus, trolley, car or taxi, lucky I guess.  Of course this is after car and bus horns blare loudly, tires screech to an abrupt halt and much profanity is directed at the pedestrian violator.  I would imagine that if I were a passenger in the car or bus I would hear under the drivers breath,"Watch where you're walking you dumb bast.....".  After getting across safely the violator normally turns back and flips everyone the bird like they did something wrong.  One time I witnessed a homeless person beat on the hood of car. They are lucky again that the driver didn’t shoot them out of fear for his life.  The homeless have this innate sense of being owed something from society but I haven't quite figured it out what we owe.  I wonder if any of the 52% of pedestrian traffic fatalities reported for San Francisco are the homeless individuals that on a daily bases dare San Francisco drivers?   

Oh boy, another planet to ravage

Recently astronomers located ten potential planets that could sustain our current way of life, God forbid.  In a pinch we could relocate to one of them if needed.  Evacuation plans are being dusted off and updated as I write.  This discovery is of particular interest to San Franciscans who are looking for additional parking spaces that are not metered.  Right now the spaces assumed to be self-park and at your own risk so curb your wheels toward a rock to prevent runaways. Only one challenge to overcome though you’ll need allot of patience because the nearest planet is 300,000 years away and did I mention that getting back to work is a real problem too because of BART's current budget woes.  Please keep the horn blowing to a minimum.  You can’t call a cab either because San Franciscans are still rejecting extra cell towers along the way that could alleviate dead spots and improve data speeds from 3g to 4g.  The taxi hailing Apps Cabulous and TaxiMagic are not updated as well.

Sorry no pictures or brochures yet.

Make Room on the Planet!

Something Nice!

I have heard the phrase that many Americans are “morbidly obese” and even though healthcare costs continue to rise, people are not changing their eating habits. Thousands of people are falling ill to diabetes, high blood pressure, and any number of related heart problems that are deceases attributed directly to being overweight. Fast food businesses continue to show huge profits, why is that? Having time on my hands to ponder worldly problems like this, I believe I have a solution for making more room on the planet. My idea is to require every person that falls into the “morbidly obese” category to lose enough weight (not original I know) and to bring their body fat index down to a medical industry recognizable and healthy level. This in turn will reduce the diameter of most humans affecting the space occupied by every person. In turn we all get a little more elbow room you might say.   There are many benefits for being a healthier, smaller, or more narrow (physically I mean) person whichever description is politically correct. Consider other problems like the short list below that can be solved too:

• Eating less means less trash and garbage in landfills (Environmentalist happier)
• Less water is used when the body is smaller/thinner (Water conservationist happier)
• Comfortable seating/standing for all on public transportation (Traveling public happier)
• Airlines can compress seating space (like they haven’t already) (Airline industry happier)
• Lower fuel costs due to lower transported weight (Shipping costs lower, car owners happier too)
• Fewer sheep have to be sheared for the garment industry (the sheep will be warmer)
• Most people will be able to fit in smart cars (Global warming alarmist happier)
• Fewer swayback horses (Animal rights advocates and PETA people happier)
• Fewer  back injuries (Everyone happier, pharmaceutical firms unhappy)
• More cops that can catch the criminals (Taxpayers happier)
• Fewer broken office chairs (Facility’s asset management happier)
• More food for the rest of us. (starving people fed)
• Etc.

The result is harmony in the World!

Bay Area Hayward Leadership High School Senior’s Food Fight

No leaders coming out of this graduating class of seniors.  The food fight only uncovered followers and bystanders. They did nothing beforehand or during, to change the action of a small group. It seems that one true leader could have influenced the others to come to terms and see that this wasn’t a good idea?   Come on people the world already has enough bystanders and followers.   Some parents are whining now saying the punishment is too harsh. To the parents, did you teach your children about: respect, leadership, responsibility and consequences? You can’t expect kids to learn “it all” in “leadership” school. Parents are still responsible and should be good role models. Otherwise, your money would have been better spent on diapers and wipes. A lesson on the consequences of life is better learned now, rather than later, when they leave home. Oh yes, let’s hope that they do leave home! I suggest that the students negotiate the appropriate punishment with the Principal and you parents stay out of it. Perhaps the food fight would not have happened if parents had been more influential over the past seventeen or eighteen years, a teambuilding event such as bowling, mountain climbing, sharing a movie, having a great lunch together or going to a game park to ride the bumper cars would have been the choice instead of throwing food at one another….…..

Oh Yeah!

 OMG!  Philadelphia Cream Cheese Pound Cake, Lemon Creme Pie, and Lemon Bars.  Where do I start?  Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!  The best dessert baker lives in Fresno, California for certain.  Who would have guessed that a lemon and pound cake expert would reside in raisin country.  I can’t tell you how delicious all the desserts are, I mean were, they are all eaten now.  Unfortunately none of you reading this note will ever know the sweetness of the lemon creme pie the delightfully light crust supporting the creme or the same crust around the lemon bars protecting the never ending delicious lemon filling with affectionate love, or the cloud-like texture of the pound cake especially when the cake is warmed in the microwave it is heavenly..OMG you missed it.   All three desserts are made by loving hands from heaven that only a mother has in Fresno.  We selfishly gathered all three desserts up and brought them back to San Francisco and we didn’t feel bad about it until they were all gone.   Next time we’ll be more thoughtful of others and only bring back the dessert we like the most.   Which do we like the best, Lemon Creme Pie?  Yes.  Philadelphia Creme Cheese Cake?  Yes.   Lemon Bars?  Yes.   I am not going to mention any names but I know a Pepsico executive that is going to have to try harder now that there is more competition over the lemon bars.  Good Luck!
