I have a friend who lives on Skyline. that area is ALWAYS foggy. it is really, really depressing. and I *like* fog. the last time I was up there – about a year ago – there were loads of houses with for-sale signs on Skyline. they’ve probably all gone into foreclosure, now.

Slightly off topic, but probably no one symbolizes the hysteria of the bubble years, in which truly anybody could “make” money and pretend to be rich, better than Lenny Dykstra, who Jim Kramer now (in)famously touted as “one of the great ones” during the height of the insanity. Check out this clip from the Daily Show from a few ago. Illustrates the insanity pretty well.

Are you calling John Mellencamp a sissy, DreamT?

BTW nomadic, nowhere does it say we don’t have an empress. That could explain the fixation on pink houses wouldn’t it?

You guys are delusional. Can there be real server down in RBA? Impossible! It was just inaccessible to certain visitors for certain duration….intentionally. Burbed.com server is like RBA property – always up and never down.

I figured he was letting his site take some time off… to avoid comment burnout…

Let there be no doubt that I am the worst admin ever. Thanks to nomadic for pointing out the server was hosed.

I spent all weekend securing the site (or so I thought) but I think something bad happened.

Pralay, that’s hilarious. I guess one draw of those shipping container homes is its kitsch appeal.

The song, “Little Boxes”, written by Malvina Reynolds and made famous by Pete Singer, was a reference to the homes “made of ticky tacky” in Daly City.

Cut-and-paste problem in #2. This is Port of Daly City.

Just to make his case, Burbed should have shown satellite images. This is Port of Oakland. And This is Port of Daly City.
