We landed at MCAS El Toro and from there flew to SF. If any hippie puke tried to spit on us, we would’ve broke their chicken necks.
Spent a week in SF visiting family and the people in the bars refused our money and bought us all the beer we could drink. Met the fishing boats at Fisherman’s Wharf to buy fresh-caught crabs, and the fishermen gave us bags of crabs for a buck and refused to take a dollar more.
My memories of San Francisco are of great people.
