Still selling HP... HA!

Nov. 2017, 5 HOUR WAIT in Menlo Park for Fxxx Roadside Assistance!

Fortunately the slow leak flat tire happened while I was at the office.
Can you imagine,,,  5 hours on the shoulder of 101?!
No restroom?

Lucky I had a pillow, blanket,  and quart beverage!
And I could use the office's restroom!

5 HOURS!
Beware

Get ready For RAIN SNOW Winter Driving! Oct 2017

As a Commercial Professional Driver since 1976, Window and Windshield Visibilty are Super IMPORTANT!

Keep your inside glass clean and dry.  I use Costco terry hand towels and Windex.  NEVER EVER drive with foggy inside windows!, before your Defroster Heater clears the inside moisture! Or you terry towel... Never!

I have tried a few "Fog" inside liquids and gels,  tho none worked very well.  Maybe I didn't use enough gel... Especially on those big 4 pane up front Euro buses,  Know how hard it is to towel off the upper windows!? In a blizzard!?

On the Glass outside,  I would skip all the liquids and use a gel like Rain-x gel or my fav, RAIN CLEAR GEL by Glass Science. Amazon may carry soon. Look local, ask local or buy direct like I do for big bottle of Tecnu poison Ivy soap.

Use your teen, or hand,  and one of those 4" blue disc pads, or a
2 fold washcloth and a pea-bean size amount of gel, outside only, on a clean dry warm(run your heater and defroster for 10min) windshield, windows, and both outside rearview mirrors in a small circular expanding motion. You don't have to press hard if the glass is warm. Don't  use too much gel,  cuz next is terry handtowel buffing off the excess in circular motion. Your car glass should Sparkle! Do this every 3-6mo. Like NOW,  just before the big rains...

You have just improved your visibility over 30%!  And prevented hard water spots PERMANENTLY on your car windows.  Salt on the highway folks,  are you listening?

Next, wax your car's clean dry paint with a good wax like Macguire''s or Mother's monthly or at least seasonally,  by teen or by hand. Bird poo will eat thru paint! My Sis doesn't believe in car washing,  so guess who regularly washes her Prius?  Car Soap! I will add that name later.  So by regular teen waxing, you just saved $1000s in body shop paint jobs!  Woo-Hoo!

Next the rubber,  tire sidewalls  and window seals.  I went Crazy and tried every brand in local Kragen's. Like ArmorAll Original the best,  easy to spray on to apply,  lasts for almost a week,  and not greasy slimy. I buy a case,  4 gallons,  from Amazon, since Costco doesn't  carry the gallon&spraybottle combo anymore.

As with Rain Clear gel in a plastic zipbag with a permanent pen label,  I use a 2 folded washcloth on the window rubber and just spray the tire sidewalls weekly,  if I remimbar!

Have a Safe and longlife Winter,  drivers!

In Burlingame, CA., the Main Problem with MEASURE "i" is,,, there are no potholes on Bgame city streets, maybe on El Camino Real, but that is Not the City's $ duty. So "I" should Fail, right?

What does Burlingame need?
More parking GARAGES! I want One on the 100 block of Park on that existing parking lot! And Broadway Avenue desperately needs one! Maybe one on E. side of Caltrain station, by tennis courts?

Is your Burlingame TAP WATER cloudy? Do you not understand the annual scientific report, that  is no longer mailed yearly?  The Mayor won't  talk in English about the tap water quality; Now That is SCARY! we  need cleaner safer tap water in Burlingame! I don't  see much "burling ", but I do see lots of sold-out rude arrogant politicians that for Decades have laughed at "gaming " us Voters; This must stop.
Every candidate should sign a legally binding Pledge of loyalty to the city, if not vote for Superman and Wonder Woman.

and,,,?
Broadway  Avenue SIDEWALK WIDENING,  like B. Avenue!

and,,,?
Reasonable RENT CONTROL.

and,,,?
Safer CROSSWALKS with center yellow flashing lights! Or at least those center signs like by the library,  for troubled crosswalks like those on Bayswater.

and,,,?
Electric CALTRAIN better cleaner mass transit service!
Smoother ride,  longer trains,  more Express trains,,,

and,,,?
Kick some lazy County/State crats to get them to repave and signal-time El Camino Real, and add new sidewalks too!

and,,,?
How about a Mayor and City Council that is For Burlingame First,  and Realty Biz interests Second!?

The League of Women Voters didn't give us a fresh recent "candidate's night" video to TV or laptop watch this Nov. election,,, unlike last election.
Boo!

So without a "pothole" in sight,  it is A-ok to vote down silly Measure "i".
Really.

Both V.A. Hospital and Kaiser Hospital are Painfully Noisy Vacuuming Ear wax from MY Family!

Why not pick it out,  as the VA sometimes does!?

Vacuuming Ear Wax is Much Too Painful!!

Hello...

Why was the NBay fire alarms so few that dark Sunday night,,, to prevent Panic?

And why so little aerial TV footage from helicopters and drones, during and since the fires,  again to prevent full knowledge and Panic?

This must change!

People could have put hose sprinklers on their wood shingle roofs and yards.
That's what I would have done on Saturday,  if there was more warning.
Farmers have been taking too much ground water from the Central Valley and Napa Valley,  where both ground height levels are Falling!
California has lots of reservoirs,  but obviously not enough.

SFBayArea unofficial weather report

Saturday 28 October 2017:
It has been a Dirty Air, smoggy week with blue sky overhead on the peninsula, but cola brown air looking horizontally to NBay and SBay and even West out on the Pacific Ocean.
There was a previous day that was Super Bad smoggy,  before the 106f record day in frisco.
I was there for the 3 days over 100f with one day at 104f, last Summer!  Very bizarre Wx.

The temperature has been daytime warmer than usual for this time of year.
It was 94f in Half Moon Bay!
And higher recordbreaker in Santa Cruz!
The coastal ocean NorCal fog came back thick on Friday morning.
And last night the temp was thankfully cold again on the peninsula with stronger ocean breezes.

Have not heard if all SFBayArea fires are out in NBay and Ben Lomond, near Scott's Valley and Santa Cruz. All those fires produced a terrible amount of smoke!
Oh,  TV says 3 fires still burning to north.

I hope this means people will remove brush by goat herds again and Much more often, cut down non-native super oily and flammable trees like the Gum/Eucalyptus, and cities and the state with CalTrans will cut down the Many dead pine trees besides the SFBayArea freeways.

And THURSDAY Rain Is forecast,  so all those trash litter clogged highway drain grates must be cleared and cleaned ASAP!

Safe and Happy Halloween! 👹👽👺👾👼👲😎

SATURDAY 4 NOVEMBER 2017
monday was ocean west breezy so clean air and beautiful clouds.
Tuesday-Thursday was dirty brown haze looking horizontally but blue overhead. Cool nights and pleasant day temps.
Thursday night was a little rain on the Peninsula mostly at night, so Friday was a clear n clean air day with lots of lovely storm front clouds with ocean breeze.

FRIDAY,,, 10 NOVEMBER 2017:
It's  not Saturday yet,  but just could help gushing about the 3 last days of light rains mostly at night, clean ocean light breezes,rinsed cities and streets,  great clouds, especially today with big vertical development and variety and some separation,  even a big bright rainbow on 101N behind SFO on SSF Hills looking N with the sun behind me. Lots of cars slowed to take it in. Unlike those Lookiloos with the minor accident  on the S end of the Airport!

SATURDAY 18 NOV 20017 WEEK:
thursday morn it rained some, so a guy said he was hydroplaning on 280 out of sf. 90% were still tailgating, in the rain,  and 10% were still speeding,  in the rain. A gal told me 17 from Santa Cruz to Silicon Valley looked like a Demolition Derby with all the FWD cars and others slipping sliding and spinning out,  leaving broken car parts all along both sides of that crowded scary highway.
The pm traffic on the Peninsula when the rain let up, was even worse of a slow commute!

FRIDAY 15 DECEMBER 2017:
it was been so smoggy, dirty Air blown up the coastline from the many SoCal fires,  I haven't posted.  Cool days and Cold nights on the Peninsula.  But when you look, not up, but out to the Pacific,  there is this thick, not usual tea smog, but dark coffee mocha Smog over the Ocean!
We have 7 straight days of health dangerous "save the air" days!
And no rain in sight, especially since "he" says there is no global warming...

Xxx...
Rumor it will be a light and short  Winter rainy season.  Hope not!
Have a Good Weekend!

SF is a City Mostly of Renters, but not All with Strong Rent Control, that is Very Popular!

Robber Baron landlords don't like it, natch!, the Capitalist Bums!

WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA!:We must not forget that California is by Nature meant to burn, from the few remaining 4% of the Coastal Redwoods to the oily coastal Chaparral to the Yosemite south gate Mtn. Redwood's need for fire to prepare the ground for seeds.

Even the Famous, Very few remaining, central US Native Grasslands thrive only With fire.

It is clear that some developers,  contractors and house buyers have forgotten that most of California was Nature-made healthier With,  Not without,  fire.

My sympathies to all that have lost recently, and in the past,  to California "wildfires!"

I do wish all non-native  Gum/eucalyptus trees that are very oily and Extremely flammable would be removed from this State. Remember the 1991 Oakland Hills fire that took out lives and over 3000 very expensive homes and buildings? Yep,  they replanted fast growing  Gum trees there!

"NBC investigates" SAYS they reply to every caller or emailer. Not true, in 2016 or 2017!

I just wrote about Santa Cruz County's private for-profit water company, Soquel Water,  overcharging an old senile rich widow 50units in the Winter and 5units in the Summer,  for YEARS!, and suggesting "you have a leak,,, somewhere. "
Yeah,  In her bank account!

The County District Attorney is too lazy to investigate.
The Santa Cruz Grand Jury is probably still buzzin from the nightly pot party.
And NBC can not be trusted!
What a mess we live in.

San Jose Water is no better;My neighbor found the meter #s were not sequential,  but just fabricated!
Busted.
And Mayor Sam likes SJWater instead of a public non-profit water company.
And weak rent control.
It's just "highway robbery" right downtown,  and where you live.

When will SF grow up!? The "Wild West" and Robber Barons should be Past tense. Enough with the rampant WAGE THEFT, and BLACKLISTING, and SEXUAL HARASSMENT at work!

The City-County of SF should make wage theft a Felony,  mandatory month jail time,  and 50 Yr statute of limitations. And hire an Ombudsman,  since the Mayor Lee and Board of Supes are busy. Super Sightseeing stealing over $10k in wages yearly from each employee for over 5 years was bad enough, eh?,certified by a Federal judge.  Why oh why is wage theft so obvious and so common and so tolerated in SF, still? It is Not "ok"!   $1M fine to start. Then $10M. Then $100M, distributed to all employees equally.

Just outlaw Blacklisting.
$10k Felony fine per employer that participates,  then $100k for second violation. $1M for third violation and employee gets half of fines, tax free. The State of California should too but Sacramento is such a cesspool. You can still "get rich quick" but honestly,  fairly and legally.

Sexual harassment at work should be a quick and easy Felony.  Or at colleges. Mandatory month jail time.
If most of our politicians weren't  such snails and paid off versus principled.

Cops on the take. Make. Murder. Skate...
That will be tough to fix!
But Tourism is an easy primary factory,  if SF cares about its image and ethics.

Hard work Californians don't deserve to be constantly robbed,  biweekly!

Wonder Where is one of the best gastrointestinal Surgeons and colonoscopy MDs in California or the USA is located? Chico, Ca.

In my humble opinion.

I just don't understand, Why the California State Legislature, controlled by Democrats and a Demo. Governor, would WANT TO WASTE $BILLIONS IN TAXPAYER'S MONEY??

$6Billion, cost overrun on the new flawed Chinese-built "Oakland Bay Bridge" !
Why would CalTrans hire a foreign company with zero bridge building experience?
Union welders on TV saying "Many of the welds are bad. "
The Union shop stewards there on TV trying to shut up the welders... a circus.
And the Demo. Governor leaves the State on the day the bridge opens!

We voted for fast trains. OK.
Already,  $Billions overspent on the ugly polluted 2nd rate Central Valley route,  versus the 1960s super popular Coast run from SF to LA on the luxury Daylight or dining cars and many private sleeper cabin cars nighttime famous Lark.

On and on...
Republicans of course,  but DEMOCRATS??
What a Waste!
