Well the dark beer floats we don't start until after 6:00 am. The larger floats are for late night.

If you think that's bad, you should be here when NDD and I discuss lutefisk stuffed chitlins. Goes great with a larger float. :~)

Cali, if you (or anybody else in the Bay Area) are interested in meeting Jerry McNerney, candidate for CA-11 against Pombo, this Sunday afternoon on the Peninsula (not far from Stanford), email me at brittpbb at yahoo dot com.

Probably won't be able to make it (4.00 / 11)

since Sundays are usually family day...I'm hoping that if/when things get back to "normalcy" around here, I can contact the campaign and see if he needs/wants anyone to work a table down in South Santa Clara County (which oddly enough is "Dick" Pombo's district), or perhaps at the Pleasanton BART station...

positive thoughts or spells wanted (4.00 / 10)

Got word an hour ago that my daughter was hit by a car in her college town, about 90 miles from here. We're waiting for word from her boyfriend who is with her at the hospital. Initial reports are eyes swollen shut, two front teeth knocked out and possible broken arm/wrist.
