So I just moved from New Jersey to California. Loving every minute, but my particular neighbourhood had very poor coverage with T-Mobile. Oddly enough, there is a rather large cellphone tower not 3 blocks from my building.

So I ping their social media people on Twitter, and ask: "Why is it that I get better coverage underground in SF than I do on the roof of my building in Oakland?" It was really starting to drive me nuts, with all the dropped calls and whatnot. They opened a ticket and I got a call this afternoon asking for some more information. Come to find out, I'm not the first #newoakland resident to complain. So now they're looking at adding a signal repeater in my neighbourhood.

All it took was being polite and courteous. Some folks should try that from time to time. Does wonders.  :)

Maybe that's one of the NSAs fake cell towers.

I'd be wary of them.  They were being shot at last night.  They're a tad touchy this morning.

Bus didn't show today, took my daughter to school, left the school in Florence and it took me AN HOUR to go 8 MILES back to the highway. All in all, a 4 hour round trip.

Late winter sun makes me crazy. I need a set of those Eskimo snow glasses, you know, the one with tiny slits in them, now that would be cool, and, they are cheap, so I got that going for me.  ;D

How is it that one needs to be super-intelligent to get into a school like UC Berkeley but it seems like none of their students are intelligent enough to look up from their phones while crossing the street? These kids walk right out into the street without looking where they're going, or checking traffic at all. Have they no sense of self-preservation? Ziggy is nimble enough to steer around such tomfoolery, but a 4000lb SUV isn't...

Same thing applies in grocery stores. 7 times in 3 days, someone has walked right into me because they weren't paying attention. In 3 of those cases, I just let it happen cause the dude was cute. Maybe it's not such a bad thing after all....  8)

'the dude was cute'?  :o  Well ok then, not that there's anything wrong with that...

I worked at a university for 30 years and in all that time at least once a year a student would walk out in front of a moving car and get creamed. Not only do they not pay attention but a great many of them don't know how to dress themselves for the cold weather either.

It is UC Berkley so do not confuse the ability to pass a written test with intelligence.   :rotflmao:

People/Groups that can't/won't sing our National Anthem the way the musical score meant it to be.
I can't sing worth a darn, but I don't try to do my own take on it, either.

So whose take do you like?  I rather imagine it's their take as well whether it's a band or some other singer.

I would like for the performers to sing it like we did in school and not make a show of it and add their flair to it. They've got plenty of other venues to 'express' themselves and not (IMHO) with our National Anthem. Some versions are almost unrecognizable.

I believe there are not near enough of us around that truly appreciate our National Anthem being performed with such respect and skill. Makes me sad..
