    "Nope! Not gonna do it. I can't see any reason to drive into Frisco, I didn't even like it before it was paved with homeless wastrels and feces, and I'm not seeing any reason to change my mind now that it is.
    Think I'll just sit here and enjoy the view until The Big One crumbles it all into rubble.
    O frabjous day!

    1. aka: The Marin Headlands. My Dad's ashes were scattered in the water just below where this guy is sitting. He sailed many a gasoline tanker under the bridge in WWII.

    2. My dad sailed for Standard Oil from before the war until after I was born in the 50's, he talked about people dropping stuff (shoes?) on to the ship when they went under the bridge.

    3. That's who my Dad worked for, Standard Oil Co. of California. He sailed out of the refinery at Richmond. I'll bet your dad and my dad knew each other and possibly sailed with each other. It wasn't a very big club.

      That was dangerous work during the war. Sailing what was basically a huge bomb with no defenses. I never appreciated the risks those men took until I saw a PBS documentary on the subject. Dad never talked about it.
      He was an engineer in the engine room. Oiler, then second assistant, then first assistant then a Coast Guard licensed chief in both steam and diesel engines. A hard working man.

    4. My dad was on the deck, worked his way up to Capt. He was the Port Superintendent in Richmond when he got sick.
      The stories I heard from the war years were always from someone else.
