Bright Lights, Big City

Well perhaps not "big city", although San Blah-zay is now a bright city especially downtown. Das Behr was trundling around last Saturday night. Okay, so I went and saw the new Robin Williams film "MAN OF THE YEAR" (great flick). After the movie it was time to head up to Mac's for a beer and chatter. Trundling north along South First Street wasn't quite the adventure that it once was. I couldn't quite place what was so different about my surroundings, then it dawned on me...

IT WAS SO FREAKING B-R-I-G-H-T.

Wouldn't you know, the San Blah-zay public works folks went and installed new street fixtures and lamps. And we're not talking those sodium vapor puppies either, nope, plain white wattage blazed across the entire sidewalk! Well okay, downtown sidewalks were a bit dark at night, but now it's gone 180 degrees into the opposite direction.

Now if only they can apply the same logic to getting The Alameda re-surfaced. The speed limit is posted at 35mph, but I tell ya, the GR1FF3N likes his suspension and alignment just the way it is- perfect. Until San Blah-zay gets the ruts and pot holes fixed on The Alameda, this behr ain't gonna be going anywhere near the 35 mph limit.

HEY SAN BLAH-ZAY, FIX THE BUMPY ROAD KNOWN AS THE ALAMEDA, WILL YA?
Do something constructive with all that money from the Grand Prix.

So Sayeth Das Behr
