Dec. 2007,,,I phoned "Super Shuttle" airport van service ,800-258-3826, to see how much it was from the peninsula, San Mateo county, across the S.F. Bay to Oakland airport,,,and was quoted $110 each way !! And like most airport shuttle companies, they have in the last few years forced their employee drivers to buy or lease the vans they use, plus pay maintenance and insurance !! I have yet to find an airport shuttle company in the S.F. Bay Area that does not unfairly force its driver employees to assume this unfair share of the business burden.
Someone recommended Bayporter Express, 415-467-1800, from mid-peninsula Burlingame to the Oakland Airport ,,,and it is 'only' $40 each way !! Huge savings over the much larger other airport shuttle company. And no additional mandatory driver's tip. Happy shopping !

Dr. Bindi, father and son surgeons, from California,,,BEWARE !!
Several years back Dr. Bindi was working at the Good Samaritan Hospital Clinics in Silicon Valley as a surgeon and orthopedist. He did an unethical and illegal surgery on me by having his 'recent medical school son' (no residency yet) assist in the operation, as i was informed going under the general anesthetic. I filed charges with the hospital and the state of California Medical Board, but both Dr. Bindi's seem to have fled to Mexico or Canada or somewhere,,,The Board of Orthopedic Surgeons were like a wall, no help. Amazing that this kind of brazen medical misconduct is allowed and protected in the state of California. Beware of both these men !
San Francisco Symphony's unprofessional behavior !
Did anyone else see and hear a few years back the James Taylor concert ? Where the S.F.Symphony's rhythm section was a few bars behind, obviously on purpose. Very unprofessional.

Dec.2007,,,President Bush is still trying to sell his Presidency as a unsubstantiated fear-monger, and few are busting him for it !!
Maybe ,,,after President Bush is out of office, someone will have the courage and honesty to show that Mr. Bush's entire Presidency is and has been based on unsubstantiated FEAR MONGERING !! And look what terrible shape the USA is in because not enough press and public leaders have been outspoken enough to say this is so very wrong!
And like a true fraud, whether he is really smart or just acting very stupid to appeal to his electorate and home state, President Bush will not protect whistleblowers.

Why did all our public financial experts, like Susie Orman and Jim Cramer, miss the stupidity of A.R.M.s?
This is the level of elementary school playground stupid, so why did the financial editors at Time and Newsweek, The Economist magazine, the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, Jean Chatzky,Suzie Orman and Jim Cramer, miss what any 5th grader could tell you was a very bad idea/ deal ?!?
Go back to your elementary school playground days and consider if you would say 'yes' or 'no' to such foolishness. The every-school-has-one bully comes up to you and says
"i want your lunch, but i will let you keep your unhealthy lousy food if you pay me every lunch period, a penny to start ,,,and who knows what i will take in the future, maybe a penny and all your clothes,,, then a penny, all your clothes and your front teeth i will knock out, then maybe the next lunch period, a penny and all your clothes, and knock your teeth out and shave your head and write coward on your forehead and make you the laughing stock of the school every day and every hour."
Now most playground-wise elementary school kids would say to themselves , "i am very hungry, all the time, but this is ridiculous ,,,and afraid as i am of this typical every school bully,and a penny is ok cuz i am very afraid, but i can not agree to let someone take all my clothes and leave me naked on the playground and knock out my teeth and make fun of me, when i did nothing wrong, other than have this 200 lb bully sit next to me in the lunch room. I'm crying and calling for 'Help!', "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"
That is exactly how obvious allowing an unscrupulous and untrustworthy and probably un-American bank or mortgage company to sell the desperate and dim-witted a rising and open-to-extortion 30 year house loan called an A.R.M. /adjustable rate mortgage.
So how could all these so-self-called financial experts, like Wall Street Week on tv, and all the others miss the sheer stupidity and enormous risk of this common deal?
The Feds should have outlawed this at the get go.
But it is not yet outlawed by any state or the Feds!!

TRAVEL WARNING: Morro Bay, California "Kitty's Diner"
Dec. 2007,,,Just ate at highly recommended by the locals "Kitty's" in downtown Morro Bay. Food looks good and tastes good. But got nasty 'montezuma's revenge' that night !! Oooouch !! Where is the public health department ? When are latinos going to learn to do a better job of cleaning food surfaces ?? Beautiful waitress tho.
As an alternative, the locals say take "Main St. exit" off 101 then 'Harbor St. " downhill to the right to the harbor, and there is another highly recommended by the locals diner on the right at the harbor, with a nice view of Morro Rock and the boats.

The U.S. Military/Navy has a stupid,sleep-deprived and asleep at the trigger way to defense !
First, when you are drafted or enlist, you have to sign away(!!??!!) all your right under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as a 5th generation Californian and American.
Yikes !!!
Second, you are/were given 2 sheets and one blanket.Period. It you wanted another blanket, the usual stupid response was, "sounds like a personal problem", meaning the U.S. military couldn't care less. So say you used your own sleeping bag or down comforter in those cold drafty noisy ships, then that would be "non-govt issue and not allowed". The Navy ,still to this day, operates without any appreciation for the value to heath and safety of a continuous 8 hours of sleep !! Stupid bastards. So every macho ship at sea under the American flag is full of falling asleep at the trigger/jet/helm sailors and pilots and crew, just because the military is too short-sighted macho stupid.

Sakae Grill and Sushi, Burlingame, California, on Park at Bgame Ave,,,BEWARE !!
My buddy and i ate at Sakae in Burlingame,California and had lots of sushi and beer, but were overcharged $20 on a bill we could not read even in daylight and sober. We/I got lots of resistance the next day in getting the $20 gouge back. It took days,,, Obviously the manager/owner/ some guy there has a "guy-jin" racist problem with tall handsome white males , after Japan lost WWII and maybe before that. Beware.

Do NOT buy KitchenAid 5 Quart Stand Mixer as a rebateable gift !!
Do not buy KitchenAid mixers as a Christmas present or wedding present, if they offer still the rebate, as they do not honor it in good faith!
I bought one for a best friend's offspring's wedding and filled out all the required paperwork and sent in my copy of the receipt. I left the upc code on the box , in case the bride and groom wanted to exchange it, tho i was the only one on the registry.
After several months , i checked to see if the gifted couple had exchanged it and they had not, but KitchenAid would not give me, the purchaser , the rebate !! They said i lacked a upc code !! So the store got me one off an empty box and then KitchenAid said it was too late !! Such un-American deceitful behavior, as if this situation of gifting presents at weddings or Christmas had never happened before,,,
Let's teach KitchenAid the proper way for a super rich and powerful company to behave properly to it customers here in America ! Boycott KitchenAid for gifts !!
