Hi Jeb,
I am relocating to Pleasanton. Can I purchase one of the apartments or townhouses? Thanks.

How does the 51 homes in the Oak Grove development load traffic upon our city streets and burden upon our schools whereas these 350 unit apartments somehow will not have any effect? Now tell me that all tenants will have no children and all will commute by BART and own no cars. They will walk to Dublin and do all of their shopping there, no?

They will not need to walk to Dublin....... Dublin is coming to Pleasanton!

This is going to ruin MY view when I drive along the highway.
Quick! let's get an initiative on the ballot.

Morky here. Try taking the high road folks!

I might try to get in. Hmmmmmm...I could rent my place and then just make myself right at home in Plutonia! If I play my cards right, I could have somebody pay my mortgage and then some other fools to provide me with a cheap rental. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
All of a sudden, things looks cheery!!!
c u roun town...

Great more traffic and uglier view. Will they be able to fill them with this economy?
If they do are they planning to build more schools for the kids moving in? I had a heck of a time getting my son into Kindergaten last year because it was so impacted.

MIDLAND, Texas (AP) -
Residents have gathered for a vigil in a West Texas town where a train
crashed into a parade float this week, killing four war veterans.
About 300 people attended
the event in downtown Midland. They lit white candles and prayed for the
victims' families and the community as a whole. The town square was
lined with American flags.
Mayor Wes Parry told the crowd that "the next few days will be tough but when we get to the other side, it will be better."
Ministers prayed for the community to have strength in wake of the tragedy.
City Manager Courtney Sharp says Midland is "grieving and in pain."
The Iraq and Afghanistan
war veterans were killed Thursday when a freight train slammed into the
float. Sixteen people were injured.

Bears QB Jay Cutler said he expected to be "full-go" on Sunday against the Packers, but there's speculation that head coach Lovie Smith will pull Cutler and some other key contributors with a good chunk of time still left to play in Sunday's game. Smith doesn't want to reveal exactly how long his starters will play in Green Bay, and with a lack of clarity in terms of how much certain players will be used, it's best to avoid starting Bears this week.
Chicago heads into the regular-season finale in good shape health-wise, but one player that may be unable to go because of an injury is WR Earl Bennett. He missed his second consecutive practice on Thursday with a left ankle injury. If any owners are still considering him for a start, even though backup QB Todd Collins could see significant playing time, they should monitor his status over the weekend.

ARCADIA, Calif. (March 26, 2010) – While providing leading trainer John Sadler with his third Santa Anita feature victory in as many days, Distorted Dave just may have run himself into the Kentucky Derby with a 4 ¼-length victory in Friday's $48,400 allowance event for 3-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles.
"We're going to try to backdoor our way into the Derby by running in the Coolmore at Keeneland," Sadler said afterward in reference to the Grade II, $300,000 Coolmore Lexington Stakes on April 17.
Nominated to the Triple Crown races, 4-1 shot Distorted Dave gave evidence of his budding potential on Friday by overhauling the dueling favorites in midstretch and drawing off to win in 1:43.16.
Joel Rosario kept the Kentucky-bred son of Distorted Humor in third position down the backside as 19-10 second choice Big Man Has a Sign and a tracking 11-10 favorite, Indian Firewater, separated themselves from the others in a field of six.
Indian Firewater, with Martin Garcia aboard, pulled even with Big Man Has a Sign, ridden by Martin Pedroza, entering the stretch as Distorted Dave unleashed a powerful late kick on the far outside. Big Man Has a Sign regained second by a neck at the wire.
The winner paid $10, $4.20 and $2.40. Big Man Has a Sign returned $3.80 and $2.40 while Indian Firewater paid $2.10 to show.
It was the second victory in four starts for Distorted Dave, who had chased Indian Firewater in his previous two outings.
"He improved a lot in his last race," Sadler said. "He finished real strong. We felt he was coming into his own going into this race."
Sadler, who gained his 34th win at the meet with Distorted Dave, made an equipment change prior to the race. He added small blinkers because, according to his trainer, the colt was "spotty" in his previous start.
Owned by Highfield Stock Farm & Johnson, Distorted Dave earned $28,800 on Friday to bring his total income to $59,040. He will need to add to his graded earnings in the April 17 event at Lexington to be considered for the Kentucky Derby.
The Grade III, $100,000 Tokyo City Cup marathon at 1 ½ miles heads Saturday's 10-race program with first post at 12:30 p.m.

The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Green Bay Packers, 30-22, Sunday at historic Lambeau Field.
San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith opened the season with an efficient performance, completing 20 of 26 passes for 211 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions, but it was David Akers who made, perhaps, the biggest headline. Akers, the 49ers' kicker, tied an NFL record by connecting on a 63-yard field goal attempt as time expired in the first half. The low line-drive kick bounced straight up off the cross bar before coming back down and trickling through the uprights. San Fran led comfortably for most of the game, taking a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter, a 16-7 lead at halftime and a 23-7 advantage into the fourth quarter. Green Bay got back into the game with 11:16 remaining, when Randall Cobb returned an Andy Lee punt 75 yards for a touchdown. Aaron Rodgers completed a two-point pass to Jordy Nelson to pull the Packers within eight. After another 49ers score, Rodgers threw another touchdown pass, but with one last drive down by eight points, Green Bay couldn't complete the comeback. Rodgers completed 30 of 44 passes for 303 yards, two touchdown and an interception.
Big Winner: Any time a player ties an NFL record, he must be considered a big winner. That's exactly what Akers did with his 63-yard boot.
Packers running back Cedric Benson was the big loser. Benson wasn't able to make much of an impact and ran for 18 yards on nine carries. Rodgers surpassed that total, running for 27 yards on five carries.

Best Stat of the Game: Frank Gore provided an elite running back performance, picking up 112 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. For those of you keeping score at home, that's an average of seven yards per carry.
Worst Stat of the Game: Continuing a theme from last season, the Packers had no rushing attack on Sunday. Green Bay managed to pick up just 35 yards on the ground.
Did They Cover The Spread? Nope. the Packers were 5.5-point favorites going into the game and lost by eight points. The game cleared the over of 46.5 as the teams combined for 52 points.

Road rage
Original post made by Bambi on Apr 17, 2013
Here is Palo Alto the traffic congestion is getting worse and worse. Road rage seems to be a real problem. Not just on highways but on our own city streets.
Has this happened to you here in Palo Alto? Did you also engage with this person yesterday?
on Apr 17, 2013 at 8:13 pm
Did you report him to the police? If not, why not?
on Apr 17, 2013 at 8:30 pm
Yes I actually got the PA PD on the phone and stayed on the phone while trying to get closer to an area they could get to me. WHen I got stopped at El Camino and Embarcadero he got next to me and while a red light he kept up the rage and looked to be getting something and I panicked and ran the red light and turned towards Stanford University and he went right. He had an iphone and took a photo and said he will get to me. The PA PD says that he can not locate me by my car license. Hs car was new and did not have plates. He was unfortunately very convincing and he not only sounded like a terrorist but he kinda looked like one. He was in a brand new Prius. Seemed odd really acting that way driving a car that saves energy.
He totally lost control. I will never forget his face.
on Apr 18, 2013 at 6:58 am
I would think that the police can find him by virtue of knowing the color of his Prius, the fact that it was brand new, the location of the incident and his physical description. There's no excuse for road rage like that.

One of the oldest veteran of foreign wars posts in East Texas had nearly closed its doors forever, but is back from the brink. It wasn't that long ago Longview's veterans of foreign wars post 4002 was in financial trouble. Almost dead and buried.
"The post was in dire straits," says current post commander Ben Gurganus.
"I was very shocked and hurt that we were getting to that point where we were not going to have the building," said former post commander Charles McGregor.
Over the years it had become more than just a building. It had hosted memorial events, and numerous times the 'run for the wall' motorcycle ride. And a haven for memories of so many veterans who had been part of it.
"As veterans we have common ground. Listening to the stories and there are many of them , from world war two B-17 pilots to C-47 cargo planes over the hump in Burma," Gurganus says.
"The photos and stuff on the walls to remind us of the people we have lost in the past, I was here when it started going down and it has been an amazing change," says navy gulf war veteran Lonie Sparks.
But under new leadership, members began to turn it around.
"A lot of veterans , concerned citizens, and businesses that helped and contributed to us," says Gurganus.
And they intend to be around for all veterans yet to come.
"We're back on our feet, we're here and its a great feeling," Gurganus says.
VFW 4002 established its charter shortly after world war two in 1945. Veterans encourage the public to visit their area VFW posts to find out what events and activities they have.
