Where fires & earthquakes are God's way of just evening things up with the rest of the world. Oh, wait, I forgot flaming liberals. Frankly, I rather take my chances with the disasters of the natural kind. That said, San Francisco, the Bay Area, Nappa & Somona are some of my favorite places where legends were born (like for instance, while a NY cabbie will not let you drive no matter how much you offer, it has been established that in San Francisco at least, one such adventure can be had for 3 Ben Franklins. You should have seen the face on the door man when I pulled up at One Nob Hill - and, yes, the Top of the Mark last time I checked did know how to pour an RBTini. They used to keep them prepared whenever they knew I'd be checking in. California! Where fires & earthquakes are God’s way of just evening things up with the rest of the world.

Of course we don't have a huge Canada geese population in general around here, but wow, I'm impressed that Santa Clara county does something right! A bit off subject here: Anyone notice the pilot who saved this plane is someone over 50. Perhaps employers in general might want to look at their policy of omitting or not hiring people with a little knowledge in their history. Would a younger pilot have done as well? Also, the pilot is from nearby Danville, in the East Bay (equally as flaky as the whole Bay Area though), so he's a local hero now, too.

I live near a golf course & resevoir. There are so many C.G.'s (not thousands - 10's & 10's of thousands), the water department had to spend millions in dredging their green crap out of the drinking water supply. And it doesn't get any better on open areas like a golf course, where a walk is more like a scene out of Get Smart where Steve Carrell has to make his way across a laser weaponized floor, except instead of light beams, giant green poop berms are strewn every foot or so for acres. Yeah it's really great seein' the kids sleighriding around them in winter like some kind of tribute to Car & Driver's slalom test but without the dynamic steering & with the prospect of injesting disease laden goose crap should they land four square in a patch of the stuff. Maybe enviro wackos think it's just desserts for those capitalist golfers. But as far as the resevoir is concerned I will continue to drink Poland Spring in the smallest bottles they sell while ensuring land fills get their fair share of solid waste by not recycling thereby ensuring that the equipment used doesn't sink into the organic ooze.

Finally, the city turned us down via the noise ordinance! Yes, ten or fifteen shotgun blasts in the middle of a CC would really ruins peoples lives. Much better to have these geese, which I love to hunt and eat, destroy at least one beautiful bentgrass green and crap everywhere else... Dominion over the animals. Where have I heard that?

Sullenberger to be prosecuted for "taking" those poor defenceless geese without first getting the necessary permit. He'll be in good company - no doubt the ferry boat Capt. violated all sorts of regulations by unauthorized dumping (lifepreservers) in the protected Hudson River Estuary. I say screw ENCON and a hearty WELL DONE to both of you. In the meantime I expect Capt.

We have them living behind us, and in EVERY place where there is standing water. They stay here during the winter. Too fat and lazy to fly south. They are very dirty birds that would make nice meals for many homeless... NowI know why those pesky geese are such a problem.

Every airplane will have to sport a lifesize coyote "hood ornament" so as to scare away the flock. Problem solved.... Yes, we can.
