Happy New Year!

After a sedate New Year's Eve, we took a day trip north. Traffic was light everywhere, except for the roads leading to the Golden Gate Bridge. It took us half an hour to traverse the last three miles. Near the bridge we finally spied the problem: cars entering traffic from the left lane were trying to swing over to the last San Francisco exit on the right. It's a New Year's blessing that there were no accidents.

We stopped at an In-N-Out near tony Belvedere. The parking lot was filled. Perhaps the wealthy Marinites were beginning to assess the impact of the fiscal-cliff compromise that will soon crimp their discretionary income. In-N-Out, which provides an excellent burger for under $3, is the right product for the new austerity.
