In the news today, my old elementary school, Hayes, is not about to close down due to declining enrollment in the school district. It had been one of the schools on a short list targeted for closure. Instead, it's sad news for those near Blossom Valley and San Anselmo, whose schools have been recommended to close. If things get really bad in the future, Glider would be the third school to go.

In football, he Niners faltered yesterday, badly, losing 31-6. You seemed to know that by the first quarter, it was already over. And in fact, it was. But seeing how Coach Mariucci performed for the past 5 years, he deserves better treatment than the firing rumors he's been getting. He deserves that $3 million he's asking for.

The Curry-In-Hurry restaurant has put up a new sign for their storefront. They've got a cartoon picture of a chef touching his moustache. I'm sorry, he looks more Italian than Indian.

The powers that be in Berkeley have decided to set up a big red 30-foot piano tuning fork in front of the BART station. WHY? I have no clue.

Why is San Jose the safest big city in America? Because it doesn't have "conspicuous urban ghettos" of course.

Finally, I like the Amazon.com way of linking to other pages. Every time you click on an item, they provide recommendations for other products. You know, usually in the form, "Customers who bought this DVD also bought..." But they might want to re-word their clothing recommendations because as it stands, they proclaim, "Customers who wear clothes recommend..."
