have quite a few people who live in the East Bay and the old Bay Bridge
was closing at 8pm. Closing forever. Some people are nostalgic and sad
but I am not one of them. I worked two difficult jobs (Capwell's and
B&N) over there and all I wanted was to get back to SF as soon as
humanely possible. All bridges (and roads and highways) can be difficult
from time to time, but there is something about being stuck on a bridge
that makes commuting even worse than usual. I am eager to see the
new bridge in action, from a distance, that is.
Basil Canteen at 11th and Folsom was a good choice for the dinner
because it is close to Bernal Heights and the food was excellent. I
was home by about 7:30 and that I loved, along with a few laughs
with fellow workers. Until next year...
