Super Bowl L (that's 50 for the Roman Numerically Challenged)

The weather is horrible today.  A good day to clean out drawers, closets, call my mother OR sit my butt at the computer and waste time...yours and mine.

Hey, Super Bowl L (50) is coming to SANTA CLARA this year.  The stadium is not in San Francisco city or county.  The stadium is closer to San Jose.  How many people coming realize that?  It's the same people who think that California is sunny and warm year round and that we are all close, personal friends with the Kardashians and hang out at the beach all the time.

Spoiler Alert:  It's likely to be rainy in early February.  Crab season is non-existent leaving tourists the craving for world famous yummies due to contaminated waters.  Sure, you can get crab shipped in from north or south of here, but it's NOT the same. Also, just know that Santa Clara is quite a long way from San Francisco and the traffic is horrible.  All the sights are in San Francisco, and the game is in Santa Clara.  If you think that you will be amazed at the tech giants' headquarters I have another spoiler alert.  They are just big, blocky buildings.  Sorry.

Think you're going to see Alcatraz?  Not unless you've purchased your tickets MONTHS in advance. One final bit of advice:  don't let the homeless meth heads frighten you too much.  It's perfectly normal to have addicts walking down the street screaming at people and flailing their arms and panhandling.

Don't be too sad, as Monterey Bay isn't too far south and Napa County isn't too far north.  Notice I left out Sonoma County.  We really don't want any of you here.
