I look forward to when SF fires PG&E and promotes all those MUNI managers and entitlement employees to work with electricity! I defend PG&E, if stuff doesn't blow up and catch on fire, how will they know it needs to me fixed?

Yeah, I heard it at Sacramento and Montgomery. And of course, no one in my office even blinked, just kept droning on, even though it sounded like a bomb had gone off. I'm certainly glad we haven't switched to public power. PG&E has proven so good at providing safe, efficient service.

So was this caused by the same thing that blew up in front of the Ralph Lauren on Kearny a couple years ago? I remember people screeching "terrist!" back then also but alas it was actually PG&E cutting corners again. Tomato, tomahto.

Frank has a sense of News. He gets there when/where there is some.

Well, okay. That's probably a good reason to start drinking though.

The closest Longs is in Daly City. Walgreens may suck but Longs is far... away in another land.

Walgreens sucks ass. Longs is far better. Why? You can buy booze at Longs.

Heard it from EBC1, scared the shit out of me.

Gathered around the roped-off area by the hotel are the undefeatable You-Know-Who with sign, our rename-the-sewer-plant friends, and three adorable high schoolers gathering signatures to keep JROTC in SF. Another half hour and maybe we'd see the parrot-not-quail folks!

PG&E are terrorists. And every time we recharge our nasal hair trimmers, they have won.

Felt and heard a couple of big explosive noises ... manhole in the street was no longer covered and black smoke was coming out of it .. they've since covered it up. Drumm and California ... (shrug) life goes on (unless you'd planned on riding the California cable car line - you're going to have to make due with a regular bus)

Heard it from Embarcadero 2. Not seeing any mayhem in the streets out there or anything. Ho-hum.
