Howdy N Californians! Anyone heard from Stewart_H lately, we’re missing him in the Excursion forum.

For sure. The quickmap shows the closure is "supposed" to open today (2/26) at 1PM. That ain't gonna happen. If the rain ever stops, and they can stabilize the roadbed, I'm guessing it will be 2-3 weeks before we will have a 1-lane bypass.

However, I think we'll be visited by the atmospheric river today. They have a project sheet here.

Someone should give him a call. See if he's okay.

I read an article awhile back. Filed the info into the back of my mind, in case I needed to know it at a later point in time.
https://news.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/0...reakfast-place

President-elect Rodrigo Duterte eating with his bare hands at a humble "turo-turo" or eatery is a common sight for many residents of Davao City.

In South City, right near the North side of SFO, there's a place like that along the commercial corridor. For anyone who doesn't know, it's basically a bunch of food, you point at what you want, and they give you a scoop. Cafeteria style.

As I was in the neighborhood, I figured I would try it. For here, or to go? Why do they even ask? All that they have are takeout containers and plastic forks & spoons. No real plates or bowls. No silverware.

"What you want? People wait behind you. Hurry!"

Lady, what is this stuff? You don't have any signs, and I have no idea what's in the tray.

"Look. It's food. Hurry up."

Lady, you have a dozen trays on a steam table being dehydrated by heat lamps. It's all brown. How am I even suppose to know what this is or what it might taste like.

"You just point. Turo Turo! You point, I give to you."

Reminds me of the same brusk, rushed service I got in a fly-boy brothel in Olongapo. The guardian of the mystery meat was exactly like the Mama-San of a massage parlor.

Lunch in Chinatown. The Pork Chop House. Always crowded and busy here. A white pickup with flashing lights looks official. I always park where ever I can find a construction job site, or spaces marked "police vehicle only". Everyone else is always complaining that there is no parking. Plenty of parking downtown. Just not legal.
