Hello?

Hi, Merlin, how are you doing?

Oh, I'm doing great, Dan.

There's some machines outside, believe it or not.

What kind of machines are there today?

I'm glad you asked.

Sometimes they bring in a they're all like like Dr. Seuss machines. You know what I mean? Like like kind of a

contraption of some kind. Yeah it's probably got a bucket, it's got some arms, I bet a finger can grab stuff, you know what I mean? You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? Like imagine a Dr. Seuss machine, except in this case it's tearing up a road for several years. People are mad Dan,

they're very angry about the road. There's been some local reporting on this.

Oh, like in the news, like in the local paper or something like that?

Local fish wrapper. The local rag?

Yeah, they're going out out there.

Yes, yes, several places. It's in the San Francisco standard. It's in S-Fist. Do you have Austin

fist there?

No. We have S-Fist. What isS-S-T, but what is it?

It's SF-I-S-T dot something, and S-F-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-T says people are mad, and listen, and it's not just me Dan that the jackhammering is it's

breaking people's windows oh no millions of dollars in lost revenue you know and

then when it's all done they still aren't going to give us a regular street car line back.

Really?

Street car line only goes to West Portal now.

Only goes to West Portal. It's one of the great destinations in the Bay Area, but you got to, you know,

James if you want to go downtown.
