Food: Not Bad…
July 10, 2010 by bcrdukes.
This is a no-frills Main Street joint where a delectable West Coast cuisine can be enjoyed sans snobbery. The menu changes daily. Prices aren’t bad here.
In the heart of SoMa.
Don’t be a snob. Go try it out.

Kaboom!
July 10, 2010 by bcrdukes.
I woke up to the buzz of my Nokia E71 this morning after a groggy morning cutover activity with Ericsson. Jumped onto a scheduled 1pm conference call with the folks back east which ultimately became an utter waste of my time. I hopped into the shower and just absolutely had to shave my damn face. After that was done and over with, I managed to find enough motivation to dress myself after reflecting upon how my time was wasted thanks to work-related matters. I shuffled into the garage in the back, kicked my Vespa smallframe to life and decided to head down to Gene to grab a coffee.
While riding down Grandview Hwy, I noticed this buzz and shutter somewhere along the headset where the speedometer sits, only to realize as I cracked the throttle back to about 1/2 throttle, I hear something go *CLANG! KABOOM! CRASH!* I look at the ground to realize my headlight lens exploded in motion. Thanks to all the unnecessary shake, rattle and vibration from the motor and chassis, I suppose the lens could not take it any further and decided to end itself, exploding into I think a good 23 pieces onto the hot smeltering asphalt.
Poor lens. It was probably an OG lens too. It lived a good 36/37 years
Until I came around and started to ride the snot out of it.
R.I.P. OG Lens. 1973 - 2010. You lived a good life. (I think. Sorry.)
