Jim, didn't know you were from San Jose. That is were I live. Looking at that Octopus, we should commission someone to make us a killer ass logo for the team.

My Bio will be up soon.

I was born there and moved when I was very young. My dad's family lives in Sunnyvale / Santa Clara still. My Dad use to live somewhere off Story Road, thats all I remember. I moved down there about 12 years ago and worked for some glass company. Drove from SanJo to Oakland to Santa Rosa every night. I remember 1 time I was coming across the Golden Gate Bridge and I didnt know it was a toll bridge. I had no cash on me. I had to go up to the operations building and sign a IOU. I sent the $6 or what ever it was. I also got stopped in a company truck doing 90 in a 55 coming back from Santa Rosa. The cop was real cool and wrote it for 65 in a 55. Good times lol.

cool. we live not too far from story - close to the 101 and Capital Exit in a place called Evergreen. When I first moved to the bay area I commuted from Oakland to San Jose. 1 time I came home and SWAT had my hood blocked off - couldn't go home for about 2 hours - not a good area - but good times.

I used to be a courier in LA when I was 19-21 years old. I literally got paid to drive as fast as I could in the worst traffic you can imagine. Once I hit a cow. I saw a truck fall off an overpass. I did a 360 in the rain on the freeway and kept it going. I drove into a ditch once. I could go on and on - good times...

The state preferred I not drive for about 18 months after I quit that job...
