Food Extravaganza + Cycling + The Rolling Stone Article & The Bills

There is a huge food festival down at Jack London Square today. Massive amounts of people, and maybe a hundred food trucks. There's was also the regular Sunday farmers market going on, so it was food, food, and more food, for three city blocks.  Geri and I drove down there, unloaded the bikes, made our to the market bought some food, and got out of there for our weekly ride to Alameda.

We drove all along the waterfront and through the canal, and on the way back to Jack London Square we stopped at Quinn's lighthouse and got some horrible nachos. We were so hungry we didn't care. There was some amazing looking food trucks at the Jack London event, but we were too hot, too tired, and too thirsty to wait till we got back there after riding for 3 hours. Quinn's is famous for good drinks, bad food, and great views of the waterfront.

Crowds of people don't get me excited anymore. In fact it's the complete opposite, I genuinely dislike them. It's hard to navigate around all those folks. There's  always someone who is rude, and many of them are so busy looking at their fucking cell phones they can't see anything that's going on around them, oblivious to their environments, HELLO.

Most of the people down there are 30 somethings, which I have no problem with most of the time, at least on a one to one basis. Sometime I yell at people to get their attention, "old man coming through", or "age before beauty". 99% of the time they just don't get it. This is why I refuse to go to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. 200 thousand people on any given day, no fucking thank you.

Lastly, if you have a pension plan, especially if you are in the public sector you owe it to yourself to read the article on the Rolling Stone appropriately titled, "Looting The Pension Funds" by Matt Taibbi. This is the issue with Miley Cyrus on the front. The poor thing is obsessed with her tongue. Every time I see a shot of her these days she has her tongue out.

As I was saying about the article in the RS, the Wall Street hedge fund boys, and the folks who we have entrusted with our money are having a field day looting it, and no one is doing anything about it. They're running it up the flag pole once again. If you thought the last recession was a doozy the next one should hit us like a Fukushima tsunami. To quote Matt Taibbi, "It's a scam of unmatched balls and cruelty, accomplished with the aide of some singularly spineless politicians."

Last night we saw the fabulous Bills from British Columbia at the 5th Ave Boathouse for 20 dollars a head. They can squeeze maybe a 100 people in there. Now that's my kind of crowd.
  
Go away, my head it full.

That's it.

Peace,
