Alley, Millbrae

I'm showing a real Eastern sensibility here. I have not been to California often in my life, and most of it in the last 18 years. I think of the west coast as "new" to the country, with all of the leading edge technology that that implies. So, the overhead power lines that seem cobbled together grated on my preconceptions. Of course, California has been inhabited by Europeans, Africans, Pacific Islanders, Japanese, Chinese, Mexicans and, originally, by Native Americans, who might have come across the Bering Straits. So "new" really doesn't fit.....but I'm old, so I still expect flying cars when I go to San Francisco. Sighhhh
