That's just plain Sad,

Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" studio live in afternoon vs late, after dinner cold tv

My sister use to live in Pomona-Diamond Bar way out East and daily commute drive to teach public elementary school in poor transient Huntington Park, next to dangerous Watts in central ugly sprawling LA.  She got us tickets. We both had done our homework early and kept 3.5GPAs in a good white middle school in the Bay Area so we could watch Johnny late late, Friday night only.

The line was crowded and long and , silly me, in the middle of the day or afternoon!
We were both sooo excited, finally getting to see Johnny "live" after all those years, and hard studying.
Someone came out and talked to the audience and said stuff.
There was an "applause" sign!! or was that another live show she took me too,,,
The set looked so worn and tacky vs processed tv.
Finally Johnny came out to huge applause,  people were so excited to see this Big Famous Celebrity in person, some coming from far far far away.
The monologue started and my older sister and I smiled at each other; this was our personal reward for all those hard years...

Of morning chores, after school chores in the suburbs, homework lots and lots, dinner, and after dinner, more single chores ,,, and weekend chores , posted and rotating on the frig, the home central w Home Ec. teacher Mom and a great family building strategy !! We all worked hard and contributed to make the family work. We all felt valued, setting the table, clearing the table,  taking out the trash,push mowing the lawns on the weekends, washing and vacuuming the 2 cars. Dad work a very hard professional 12 hr/day job,,, every day,,, for 40 years,,, loving every minute of his long and ww2 heroic and successful 95yrs life.That is I say good parenting!!

Well one guy, way up in the high overhanging upper scary right balcony , from Ohio, I think, got sooo excited he yelled out "Hey, Johnny, we drove from Ohio!!" and Mr. Carson just lost it."Well, that was Ohio."

They immediately cut to a commercial.
Johnny was PISSED OFF !!

A crowd of people mobbed the desk to pamper a very upset Mr. Carson. You could hear him going on and on, complaining about this excited fan from Ohio just speaking out of turn.
Maybe they do that a lot in Ohio.

It took a lot of fussing and talking to calm Mr. Carson down.  A very long time.   He did not seem to enjoy his work or his live fan audience. And that was when I stopped watching "The tonight show",,, and most late night tv shows.

First was the big taped daytime, shown so late lie.

Then I saw it was just an act.  Hard work. Not fun. And the Star was not having fun and enjoying his massive success life or handling super success well. I was so disappointed. But not my sister, who still likes the fantasy, unjudged, escape away from the horrible druggery of awful wasteful careless LAUSD.

Sorry, johnny, you failed me.

SF's tour bus company Greyline/SuperSighteeing just settled a 8 major labor violations of hourly pay theft and overtime theft and forcing drivers to falsift DOT logbooks and work too many hours,,, for small percentage , Unjust crime-coverup 'settlement' by a spineless , white collar crime tolerant Federal judge

I am talking about the EMPLOYER, WHITE COLLAR THEFT of over $10,000/yr/driver!!
The forging of federal DOT documents.
The looking the other way by the CHP.
And the spineless Federal judge allowed gag order cover up of 8 Major"class action lawsuit substantiated crimes" and less than $4000/employee Settlement!!
Shocking what Corporate criminals and their $300/hr dirty money lawyers get away with in the USA and SF.

They also have been using Delancy Street former hard drug addicts as tour bus drivers.
I was told one driver was caught still using hard drugs while driving.
And another Delancy Street former hard drug addict-tour bus driver, i was told, was found dead at home.

Where is the public safety from SF govt!?

And how do dumb, dropout, former hard drug users get Ca. DMV CDL commercial driver's licenses, that nowadays are harder to get than your average college course final exam!? And why are these basic blue collar licences so hard to get in California these days!?

And why has ABC and CBS and NBC not investigated this and informed us yet!?

"Light rain", Friday,12 December 2014 at 1am, and Caltrans closes a Major Highway,101N and S, without ANY WARNING SIGNS !!

Can Caltrans and Ca. Govt be any more incompetent! ?

There should have been a CHP cruiser with flashing lights and a Big Sign at Hiway 85 intersection that "101 is closed ahead at Willow Road, flooding".

Maybe "Take 280 instead".
But no, Caltrans just keeps on wasting our time and gasoline!!

And Caltrans did this before,,, and recently.
Close a Major Freeway,101, and not use any of the new Expensive electronic signs or just the usual roadside tripod sign.

No apology.
No "we will try to do better."

SFPD and car thief in My Car!="F" grade

Last month, November 2014,  I found a car burglar IN my car! , inside the company employee parking lot!, a lot that is gated and fenced with security video cams!?
I asked him "What are you doing in my car!?", while I called SFPD 911.
I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HIS PICTURE.

But I did not know how careless SFPD is about crime like car theft. 

Still no Police Report Case Number! And a supervising officer called me to ask ,"What went so wrong when 3 patrol cars showed in less than 10minutes parking in the intersection? "
They parked in the intersection and did NOT enter the open lot where I was still confronting the Asian, pro ,middle aged, bad acne face scars middle aged guy in my Acura!!

I had to leave the CRIMINAL next to my car and walk outside the parking lot to INVITE THE OFFICERS INSIDE TO DO THEIR JOB AND ARREST THE CAR JACKER.
But these SFPD officers were not interested in arresting the carjacker nor following the getaway car, as the sargent told me "You got your car back. Problem solved."!!

After the carjacker ran away I got just one of these many cruisers full of cops to do their job and looking inside the lot on foot for the car thief!! Too late, too little, not motivated.
Yes I was glad to not loose my car, but $950 glove box pc "ecm" was damaged and the criminal left his tool bag in the car.
The sargent asked if I wanted him to throw it away , instead of keep it as evidence!!
This sargent said there was no way to fingerprint a (smooth) "textured steering wheel leather". Liar.
In summary, in SF do NOT expect the SFPD to try to catch criminals ; They just drive their cruisers around.

If you are moving to NorCal and the SFBayArea, be aware that Caltrain is excellent train commuter service from SF down the peninsula to SanJosey and even Gilroy !!

So basically you can live anywhere near that line, even visitors, and easily comfortably cleanly and efficiently get to Sanford in Palo Alto or Mt. View or live in cheap Morgan Hill and work in super-expensive SanFran.

The BART system, in a tube under the Bay, to the near and far East Bay cities is a far inferior system, with design problems and overpaid labor strike problems that doesn't even go 80mph. Not as reliable.

Our freeways are only 4x4 lanes, if that, unlike 8x8 and 11x11 lanes of SoCal, and so are maxed out at commute times, especially with wasteful inefficient diamond lanes.

Plus our summer gasoline is much more expensive than the 47 other states, supposedly cleaner burning, if you want to believe That!  California is the only state without a $2B/yr oil extraction tax!
