Default Heeard it first!

As I was exiting the office building on Sunday morning at 3:30 AM in downtown Oakland I heard that sweet sound that we recognize as the Z, there it was a SB stopping at the light at 11th and Broadway in front of the marriott hotel.

SS on San Pablo Ave in Berkeley Saturday afternoon, we cruised down the street together and exchanged greetings. Older gentleman with white hair and beard.

Saw three silverstones on Stony point almost in a row yesterday. One was parked in my parking lot where I live... I almost tried to get into it because I wasn't paying attention.

When I pulled out of my lot, saw SS going South bound on Stony.

THen another pulling onto Stony north bound from Pear Blossom.

Hey Chris, do you make deliveries during the day? Just wondering b/c most of your sightings are during business hours...

Good assumption, but no, I work in downtown San Jose, across from Adobe, home of the new San Jose City Hall that's not big enough to house all the offices of the city workers and yet we have a bunch of empty new buildings.

I walk to lunch most days, even though the food selection is expensive or repetitious (we have two Togo's, two Quiznos and a Subway and no Taco Bell, Burger King, Carl's Jr. etc, and lots of hole in the walls that are hit or mis); but I digress

So I usually see one or two when I am out at lunch. Then later in the day, usually during phone meetings, I stair out my office window and watch the cars drive by from the ninth floor. Then I drive home at 3ish.

Chris
