Hello again from the Golden State! Today we spent a day in San Francisco, where I was taught that one should never call the city "Frisco" to a native. One of the most interesting things was taking a the cable cars... It actually ran by an underground cable that a motor constantly turns, and the trolley has two levers: one that causes a clamp to close on the cable, causing the thing to go, and one that brakes. But the best part was on the way back... the trolley driver stopped, left the trolley, ran into a restaurant, and picked up his take out order. Then he came back and resumed the service. Made for a good laugh amongst the riders!
And of course a Brewer update... They're on a real tester of a road trip, playing some pretty good teams. People have said the Brewers haven't played anyone yet, that's why their record is so good. They lost to the Mets last night, but tonight roared back with a 12-3 win.

You should try and find some Rice-a-roni while you're out there.
I loved San Francisco when I was there. I could live there. Also, don't call it San Fran to locals either.
