Milpitas/North San Jose is basically one big dump and superfund site. Soon the home of the San Francisco 49ers. Used to eat at that Peppermill. Toward the end it was a neon colored dump. Then they tore it down and built this new thing called BJs--har-dee-har-har. Now it's one of the three things that's happening in Cupertino past its sleepy bedtime. I also remember the AMD buildings he's talking about, down the block was the original Fry's. Outside the theme was CPU; inside it was dark, cramped, and a mess. I remember getting a SoundBlaster sound card from there. It was $150. My old boss at the mothership told me how when she was growing up there used to be a windmill on Stevens Creek and De Anza where people would go to get their grains milled and how back then it was just swaths of orange groves. I wonder if she feels about the change as I feel about the change now. Hopefully more benevolent and less angry than me because my home kept disappearing, eaten up by these newcomers. Though to her, I'm just as alien. Should call her.
