Concord, eh? I am trying to book a trip to SF but don’t want to stay in the city nor pay their prices. There’s a Hilton in Concord that is on the list — somewhat because it’s a 45 minute BART ride into the city. *\:^(

Concord Hilton is about 1.5mi from Concord BART so you’d need shuttle service.

Check and see whether Walnut Creek Embassy Suites is on your “list”; it’s right across the street from the Pleasant Hill BART station. Also, there’s an Extended Stay America about 2 or 3 blocks north of the Embassy Suites, if that would work for you.

Well it would have doubtlessly punched a hole through my Chevette but heck I could do that. One that is about x100 would be a interesting toy.

And you could scare the dickens out of people. Always a plus.

LOL!

I just wanna be able to light the BBQ from across the patio. Plus, it looks like it’d be a lot more fun than Airsoft.

The other guy who will have a really bad day is Delta Kappa.
He gets to discover Shuttle 106 and the temporal transport device.
Which he uses to witness the end of the world before the future gets fully altered, lucky him.

Not much to it. San Diego is full of criminals. SF has the other unmentionables and smells like weed at all hours.
Went to the bookstore and got a boxed set of Homer’s works (and the fan knockoff) for my birthday. Also a book about the constitutional convention.

“No weiner pullers here in NW GA....”

Don’t know about NW GA, but NE GA is full of chicken pluckers...and some are chicken feet pluckers.

Yes he did this morning. Boy he thought he was going back to the shelter. I had to go to the next town to send off priority mail. He was really unhappy. We got back home and was so happy. I just took him out a bit ago w/o his leash with other dogs nearby. Not good he chased them and did not respond.

He is so good otherwise. I cannot have him running off and not knowing his name or not minding. If you or anyone else reading this has any advise please let me know....;)

"I’m terrible with sequential art."

I wasn't talking about sequential. I was suggesting that you sketch a scene, which depicts the action being described by the dialog.

These days, it's called graphic novel image work.

In such depictions, even sequential scenes or images normally have a changing point of view, as if the "camera" were mobile.

Yes, I'd looked at that. Shuttle service adds extra delays I'm not too wild about. But at least there are restaurants nearby, unlike a Hilton south of SFO. LoM and I will be at the one in Concord late May for our church's regional conference; probably driving down from WA so getting back & forth to BART should be quick.

I will check the other places you mentioned; I have frequent-user accounts with multiple chains and have only checked out the Hilton chains so far (because I've been racking up stays there pretty rapidly this year).

s...and some are chicken feet pluckers.

Mmm... mmm. Chicken's feet! When I went to China a decade ago I swore I'd never eat those... but ended up with a mouthful at a Dim Sum breakfast. VERY tasty, though it was only after I encountered the mass of tiny hard bits in my mouth that I realized what I'd just eaten. By then it didn't matter -- it tasted SO good!

Why pay more? It’s not like the cat can’t scratch itself!

Good luck with your day’s meetings or travel or whatever. I’m not quite awake yet!
