$$$ Saturday night $$$

I started at 3:00 p.m. and it has been moving steadily. At least two big events are happening in San Diego tonight:

EasyRiders Custom Bike Show at the Convention Center, bringing hogs from all over the region. Some of the riders are hogs, too. I've seen some morbidly obese guys in leathers, blasting around downtown. Fortunately most have parked the motorcycles for the night and are taking cabs.

The other thing is the U.S.S. Nimitz is preparing for a long deployment starting early next week. It's a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, one of the biggest. The crew is about 5500. Sailors are getting one of their last nights out as free people.

I'm at 300 clams, and the night is still young.

And I made a great discovery tonight. I was in dire need of java, but couldn't find any good coffee shops that were both open and had parking available. So I finally went to 7-11. Whaddya know? They have drinkable coffee now. I didn't say "good", but the stuff they're selling now doesn't make me ralph. Booo-ya. I can go a few more hours.

I believe cabbers are maybe the most knowledgeable elements I could have in my network, so I would appreciate if you could sign yourself in and drop some notes from time to time to my people. Will also try to link my community to your blog! Keep it up!
