I just arrived back from a doctor’s appointment at Stanford and as soon as I got over the bridge I saw, near Vista Point, what looked to be a huge group of Hell’s Angels with only 1 or 2 CHP and I thought, “Boy are they out numbered.”
But then I saw a Sheriff up a little ways, and then on the next overpass there were a bunch of fire trucks with all their lights going but all the fire fighters were standing outside the trucks. That was true of every bus pad and every overpass until I reached San Rafael.
I called the CHP and they said that a large group of soldiers just arrived from Iraq and were being escorted from San Francisco to Petaluma. Just about brought a tear to my eye. I’m getting so sentimental in my old age.
