Ah, Oakland...

Last week we had terrible weather in the Bay Area. It started cold, grey and windy, and stayed that way...all day. Every day.

Yesterday Oakland hit its 100th homicide of the year.

A week ago our neighbor, Berkeley, hit its fourth of the year...it was a guy from Oakland involved in shady circumstances (deserted buildings at night and that sort of thing).

A few weeks ago, the week Oakland hit homicide number 83, Alameda, a short hop over the channel, had its first homicide since 2004.

The idiot leftist citizens of Oakland elected Ron Dellums to be the next mayor of Oakland. I am guessing that the homicide rate will double under his administration.

I have loved Oakland for many years, but it just might be time for a change.

No, nothing concrete, but feelers have been put out.

Did I mention that it was 80 degrees in Sacramento when we left at 8pm? Tree-lined streets, family, good Catholic schools.
