1 March 2012, Largest charter and tour bus company, CoachUSA-CoachAmerica, in SF is for sale last few months,,, but that did not make the local or national news. Why?

This is by far, the largest, but not the best, charter and tour bus company in SF.
Rumor and bus magazines say it is bankrupt, not for lack of opportunity.


How long does a company last ,,, when the dispatchers played golf in the office in the morning, day after day, month after month, with the manager on the other side of the glass window,,, instead of handing out efficiently the waybills to the drivers!?  


Like Borders Books, this is probably a rotten from the top down, business model disaster.  Hope you were not an investor-sucker.


And fancy, medium sized, MTRWestern's former owner who fooled most everybody is still in jail,,, right?


What is it about large-medium , seemingly successful, seemingly legal and ethical, SF-based, charter and tour bus companies??  Is it 'wild west' SF ?

How Bad can AMAZON'S search engine be? Super Big and profitable company, but STILL can not do a simple search engine right !!

I selected "BOOKS".  And then selected "LAWN MAINTENANCE" ,at the top.

How hard could that be?
YIKES !!!
But my search results today, March 2012, are so AWFUL.
First, #1, was a book, at least, on CITY CHICKENS !, a book.
Then 2 STROKE ENGINES !!, a book.
Then,,, BUT IT! HOUSES, a book.
Then ,,, of 3,674 results , sorted by "popularity",,, a $200 LAWN ROLLER, not even a book !! , as search result #4.
Then ,,, #6 search result from looking for "lawn maintenance BOOKS" was ,,, A SOLAR ENERGY CHARGER, not a book !!
Then ,,, #7,,, search result,,, was 50 DUST MASKS, not a book !!

It gets funnier / more frustrating ,,,

#8 search result was ,,, A POOL COVER, also not a book.
#9 search result was ,,, A LEAF CART,,, also not a ,,, "book" !!

Dam Sam, could Amazon be any more of a joke in helping people find certain categories of 'BOOKS' !?

Parking lots and i PREFER diagonal parking over perpendicular parking

Oakridge Mall , San Jose , got it.
But not Almaden Mall.
Diagonal parking is easier to drive in, like Target SJ thankyouverymuch!!, and easier to back out of, probably safer, and just better.
So why so many perpendicular lots?  Can't the painters do diagonals!?

Barnes and Noble got it.
But not Costco and ,,, Trader Joe's, at Almaden.
Trader Joe's in Millbrae on El Camino Real,,, got it !!

Come on upscale or wannabe upscale businesses!
Get wide spaces with oval islands DIAGONAL PARKING, please !!
