going into/out of San Francisco. If ANYTHING happens on any of them you're there for AT LEAST 2 hours. Besides the fact I hate the stacked bridges. I just KNOW The Big One will hit just as I'm crossing and I'll end up a pancake.

Btw, Brown intervened? Tell me he came down on the side of the unions.

Gov. Jerry Brown's late-hour decision to step into the Bay Area transit dispute will keep the trains rolling for at least another week, and possibly longer.

Late Sunday, Brown appointed a board to investigate the disagreement and report back to him in seven days.

By invoking a state law that allows the governor to step into matters affecting public health and safety, Brown’s action also prohibits a walkout or lockout while the board prepares its report.

Once Brown has the report in hand, the law allows him to ask a judge to order a 60-day cooling-off period.

I'm with you on the stacked bridges. I am pretty much convinced one of them will snuff me.
