| Alameda Towne
Centre
14 July 2006 - Let's hope it will be
worth it when the construction is complete. The whole shopping center
has been a mess for well over a year. The congestion and parking
problems around Walgreens (old and new), Safeway (new) and Trader
Joe's is
terrible.
The mall
has been a disaster area forever. And the abandoned Albertson's
and
Safeway (old) offer a ghost town atmosphere to the south western
area. I sure miss our good old Southshore Shopping Center!
Fast Traffic Lights
24 Feb 2006 - Aren't those traffic
lights at the intersection of Doolittle and Island Drive just great!
The cycle times are so fast
it doesn't matter if you miss them, you'll get the green again after
a very short wait. Except after the bridge opens, of course.

Driving
Topics
• Every time you use the brakes you waste
gasoline. And the harder you apply the brakes the more gasoline
you waste. Unless you are driving a true hybrid vehicle such
as a Toyota Prius.
• Turning the steering wheel
while a vehicle is stationary, such as during a tight parking maneuver,
wears the tires unevenly, and puts undue stress on the steering
and suspension
components. |

Things
I wonder about
• Why
don't supermarkets put a little effort into keeping shopping
carts
and baskets clean?
• Why
indeed?
• Why
not?
