  1. The FastTrak in the SF Bay area lets you go through at about 20 at booths and at a new bridge, there isn't any structure across part of it and FastTrak users can go 40. The Oakland-Bay Bridge (the one that had part collapse back in 1989 and the replacement is currently being constructed) has 15 toll lanes which narrow down to 5 lanes on the bridge. They have metering lights to control the chaos, but they go on at 6:30 AM or so and the traffic can back up at least a half mile or so. Then the traffic has to slow down on the bridge to 35 because thare is an "S-curve" , put in last year where the new bridge will connect to the tunnels through Yerba Buena Island. There have been many accidents there. A semi went over the side one night. They have rumble strips, dots on the road, large signs with flashing numbers and cops sitting there and still the accidents happen.
  2. Oscar grant's relative was on TV this morning and said if the jury finds the cop innocent or involuntary manslaughter, that "Oakland better get ready for some trouble". If there are riots, I'd arrest her for inciting a riot.
  3. The EMTs, hospitals, FD, and PD in Oakland are on alert about this. The local clergy are trying to calm things down, but the guy's family are whipping it up.The incident was on tape. It is obvious that the BART cop accidentally grabbed his pistol instead of the taser. The guy he shot and his friends were causing trouble on BART on New Years Day (about 2 AM). They were trying to cuff him and he was resisting. The DA was trying for a 1st degree murder charge.
  4. A real phto of Nancy Pelosi.
  5. Manbearpig isn't that slim.
  6. How did San Francisco finish ahead of Buffalo??
  7. And Fremont is where the A's are thinking of moving. Fremont is estimated to be about 215 K in size, getting closer to Buffalo's size
  8. An ultra gay avatar and no idea of what you are talking about. You have to be related to Connor!
  9. Are you related to Connor???
  10. Thank you Jenny McCarthy. The report that people use to back the link has been shown to be garbage.
  11. 54-53 now. 9+ hours
  12. The geology of the area matters a lot. Out here in the SF bay area, it has to be >3.0 to be felt. We had a 2.0 about a half mile from me and I didn't even feel it. The biggest since the 89 quake was a 5.3 about 30 miles south. Shook here for 10-15 seconds. Happened in the hills The only damage was jars falling off the upper shelves at supermarkets about 5 miles away from the quake. Although, the day after the space shuttle crashed we had two 4.2s about 2 hours apart about a mile or so away. The floor felt like it moved about 10 feet. Watched the patio window vibrate.
  13. it looks gayer than the Peter Pan guy.
  14. It is, even the caribou don't want to be there in the winter.
  15. I have to laugh at people talking about traffic in Buffalo. The average commute in my area (SF Bay) is about 30 miles. I was going to the Oakland airport at 5:30 AM for a flight. My niece picked me up about 5 PM Buffalo time. She was apologizing for the "traffic' on the Mainline Thruway in Cheektowaga. The traffic on that was less than the traffic I saw at 5:30 AM here.
  16. Laxative on an item will put a stop to that.
  17. They shoot them in the back of the head. I knew a woman that was a doctor in China. She said all the cadavers for anatomy class were executed prisoners. They didn't do any hands on brain anatomy.
  18. This has happened before: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118541/plotsummary
  19. The LaRouchites were on the public sidewalk outside my local Post Office last week.
  20. I have been in the Bay Area for 15 years and it is always hot and sunny or cold and damp. It is never hot and rainy in SF. Once it was 105 at my house and it was 55 and foggy in SF (about 30 miles asthe crow flies).
  21. If they keep the bums out, then the bathrooms won't smell like an open sewer like they do at the nice 5 year old library.
  22. That's the federal building? I've seen it and thought that it was unfinished because they ran out of money. She could have rented out one of the porno theaters on Market Street for a lot less.
  23. Peter Pan is a Jets fan.
  24. This happened over the hills from me in Tracy, CA. This hadn't gone to trial yet. She pleaded guilty, so she would not get the death penalty.
