My step-son is a private investigator and runs a blog on the FB of interesting stories involving various types of fraud and crime. This one is hilarious, if you are in the mood for some schadenfreude... for the tl/dl crowd, a fat dominatrix got a guy to clean her oven as part of her advertised...

At last, a league decision that makes Aldon Smith situation not soooo bad. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/bruno-fernandes-de-souza-brazil-goalkeeper-torture-murder-ex-girlfriend-boa-esporte-mother-child-a7641836.html?cmpid=facebook-post (soccer star had his girlfriend killed...

Coming home from the Y yesterday evening on the Richmond Parkway, waiting at left turn arrow to get on i80 west.. Waiting at red light opposite of me, I saw a woman on a black sprotbile with decent jacket and helmet, but wearing three-inch spike heels on those basic pointy toe women's shoes that...

Dear knowledge base: I have to go up to Petaluma next two evenings at about 6. I usually go 37 from Vallejo to Lakeville, etc. from mi casa de Sobrante. I know 37 is closed going on to Novato, but I am wondering if the traffic has increased at Lakeville because of the forced turn?? Anybody...

Getting a new crown later this month, which necessitates taking my gold crown off. Has anyone here had a positive experience with a scrapper? The dentist has some ready-to-mail-in envelopes to some outfit but I haven't gotten details if its a scam or not. It just seems like more of a set-up...

In between rain storms, there has been a motorcycle officer pulling people over at this intersection during the AFTERNOON rush hour. I see them at 5 p.m. It's alarming to me, because the flow of traffic is so ridiculously over the limit that I can't even get down to 25 by the time I pass but I...

Heya: Alhambra Valley Road is completely washed out where Castro Ranch and Pinole Valley Road meet. I saw drone video from Channel 5 . So if you are making the trip from Mtz to El Sob, or doing a Bear Creek Road circuit from Orinda to El Sob, well, you can't. This has been my urban escape...

Ms. BA and I need to have four rooms recarpeted. Just full of shit and I am planning to take a week off after xmas to be home to move shit out and facilitate said installation. Went to Home Depot. Free installation, tear up and take away old, install baseboards until Dec. 7. Over to a...

Okay, watched the opener. So hungry to just get past NFL local team of choice and get right into the b-ball. The chemistry is not yet in place and shooting was subpar. I kept pinching myself everytime that gangly Durant ran down the court in the beloved uni. Did we really get that guy? Is it a...

Because this is my commute (I saw the accident scene while going the opposite direction) I was wondering if there is any news about the gold Honda or whatever that hit the guy on the bike. THis rattled me more than most things I guess because of the hit and run aspect and locality. Thinking...

I know there are enough musicians here to note the passing of one of the coolest men ever. Bluesette came out in 1961 and its been in my ear ever since. Take a moment to hear him play it and observe that he was around 78 in this clip. Music will keep you young if you let it...

Ms. BA and I will very soon be there. Specifically, if you have ever gone, is it worth draggin my Merrell high-top hikers across the country or can I get by with day hiker/walking shoes..I only ask because the latter I can use for in town and such in NH and RI. I am a chronic overpacker so...

... and not one BARF thread about the Vietnamese lady who threw bleach from the upper stories down on the guy who got bit by her dog and an SF policeman. BARF, I am disappoint. http://www.officer.com/news/12205708/bleach-dumped-on-san-francisco-police-officer I was away for the weekend. Did...

Oh oracle of BARF, I pose the following questions: Ms BA and I are going back East in late June. We need to book some plane tix and get a rental car. It's been a while so I have questions that would have required a travel agent if they still existed... 1) Is it true that it's more expensive to...

Ready to hear from the usual suspects. Who dunnit? Who killed the girl? And I enjoyed the run-up of watching last season's episodes. Gawd I love this tv show...

Headed there on Sunday (April 10). Never been. Camping at Furnace Creek and never camped in the desert. 1) Tioga and Sonora passes closed. Best route? Should I go north to 50 or 80 to hit 395 because I know they are kept open, or find a southerly route? 2) Thinking of buying an easy-up to put...

I keep getting appeals for moola from Firefox. What's the collective wisdom from our BARF braintrust on this?

Yer all gifts under my virtual tree yearlong with the comments and companionship. So, my best wishes to believers and non-believers alike. Here's one of my favorite Venezuelan xmas songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3WwBe2dDik
