...I'll add, I've had several pleasing trips to San Francisco for business and pleasure, my first on USS Gallant MSO 489 which was assigned to SFran for Armed Forces Day in May 1970, if I have the year. What a great liberty port. I didn't do a drunk, I did endless hikes to see the place refueling on good seafood. Girls at Fishermans Warf told us we were ugly and not date material, with us all spruced up in our whites uniforms. Since I wasn't feeling any jones for them, that was fine. Bring on the seafood. Years/decades later, on business, hauling around in a suit with a briefcase, the trolley driver held a full load of passengers so I could get on, probably thinking I was a local business man.
, I sometimes visit Ohlone Cigar on Mowry Avenue in Fremont. They always have a nice selection of pipes.
