I don't consider that easy bay like Hayward and Oakland, jim. That's. Out in the sticks compared to Oakland
have a few pops at the bar, lunch, take a drive out into the hinterland. Martinez, just a cool little town. Oakland deserves what it gets. A once thriving cool old city, neat houses abandoned. They turned it over to the fools who wrecked it. Stockton is slightly worse.
We have 'South Dallas' or 'Oak Cliff' here - Used to be plush in the 40's but all the nice old homes are trashed. NEVER venture though there after dark. Gunshots going off all the time after dark, and bodies found floating in the Trinity River. Murders about every other day and I don't think the police even try to find who the killers are unless it was witnessed by someone who will report it. Residents don't trust the Dallas Police and from some of the videos released I don't really blame them. Really SAD area.
Hell, I even go to Hayward once a month, to Val's. Best burgers in the bay area. Been going there since 1959, they opened in 1958. Since my bypass I'm only allowed 4 oz of meat a week. I eat none all month then go have a 1 lb Papa Burger. And a milk shake out of the metal can, 2 1/2 glasses worth. A guilty pleasure.
Jim,
Try Venison !
Jim that sounds good, go for it!!.....Frank
Beware! Charlie's a hard core hunter, Jim. Heck, he even goes out in bitter cold to ice fish!
I'm in Saginaw right not and I'm pretty sure there ain't much ice fishing anywhere except the UP right now!!!
I miss coming up for Christmas and not seeing all the ice shacks. Strange winter here in the Midwest so far.
I have an old friend in George Town near Cool (mountain lion capitol of the world). He has a few "exotic" weapons and he has no issues up there.
Welcome back to Kaliforniev! I'll be gone out of this state just as soon as I can! ;)
