Deja vu all over again 2

It was certainly NYYankees great,Yogi Berra, who said "It's deja vu all over again


Went travelling after hours all the way from Oakland,CA to Fremont on BART wearing my Yankees cap.
Seems that much of the crowd passing through the Fremont BART trains is Continental Indian / Sri Lankan / Pakistani. Big reminder of much of Queens except very quiet, no panhandlers, and better seating (+cleaner!). Bathrooms actually work and people actually can use these at stations -- contrast this with the F and 7 trains in Queens!!


Coming back from Fremont, I stopped at Down Town Berkeley's Jupiter Bar and had a half-pint of something called Kolsch that Jupiter brews itself. Fairly insipid. A young lady on the side of the bar table recommended that a beer called Bear Republic Red Rocket was somewhat sweeter and may have been the better beer to imbibe.
Good idea.


Incredible, this young woman at the bar table was a deadringer for CBI's Rebbetzin Frayda Gonshor-Cohen!! Same flat-top wool/felt fabricy baseball-style cap, similar hair and expression on her face, probably similar age as well. Scary.
Was so intimidated by this, that I started several times and then moved away. Did not have the courage to approach this young woman from this fact.


If I see this young woman again, maybe I''ll try telling her that she looks eerily similar to someone who lives just over a half-dozen blocks from Jupiter itself.
Nah, probably will not see this young lady around so soon, oh well.
