Although this is quite amusing, and I used to do it _often_, I don't do it
any more. The last time, it ticked off the sales lady and she ended up calling
at all times of the day and night (e.g., 2 am and 4 am) for about a week.
Complaining to Pacific Bell and Culligan (the company she represented) had
NO effect at all. Culligan said their solicitors had too much integrity to do
such a thing (HA!) and Pacific Bell said "We don't care. We don't have to.
We're the Phone Company. Ha! Ha! Ha!" Sigh... Now I tell them that I don't
make purchases of any kind over the phone -- only in person. I tell them they
can make an appointment to come and sell in person and then _they_ hang up.

Castle Rock State Park area which is located approx. two and a half miles South
of Route 9 on Route 35, above Saratoga.  You can hike in approx. 3 miles past 
Goat Rock to the Castle Rock Camp Ground.  They have water and a little ranger
station there.  The ranger is there approx. 2 to 3 times a day.

]In any case, a place that I haven't seen mentioned is Video Mania (Branham
]and Almaden Expy.)   They have a *huge* selection.

Video Mania's Selection has moved (across the street) to American Video:)
I've had several conversations with the owner and was impressed with his
attitude (which tends to filter down through his employess as well).  He
LIKES renting/using video!! He's not JUST in it for the bucks:)  He also
has the widest (not just largest) selection of Adult (not just porno) films
I've seen.  something for every body.  Also Classic films. (Don't know
about foreign, not my cup o' tea, so i've never looked:)

Of course, it is a bot 20 minutes from Sunnyvale;-(, but it is fairly easy
to get there (in no rush hour traffic) Take 101 to Capitol Expy (that's
south from Snvy) Take Capitol Expy West to Almaden Expy (that's to the
right if your comming form Snyvl).  Take Almaden south (to the left) to the
next Go Light (Branham Ln).  Cross the interesection and pull in.  Your
there.  He's a little more expensive, but the selection is worth it.  You
also get non-1st-run movies for 3 days, and tues and weds it's 2 for 1 on
ALL movies.  (I usually rent on Wed, get 2 movies for 1 and don't have to
return them 'til sat a 6:00pm, lots of time to review the 'good' parts:):)

I recently took my '91Toyota truck to a place in Mountain View which deals
only in certain imports (Japanese I think). The truck was overdue so they
recommended the 30k 'special'. I know next to nothing about cars/trucks but
I think it was pretty good service. There was a whole list of things including
flush the radiator, coolant system, and transmission, change the oil/filter,
plugs, rotate tires, align front end... that's all I can recall at this time.
The total cost (told up front, including price and labor, less tax) was $279.
What impressed me was the next day I noticed a few extras... they had replaced
the nuts and bolts on the liscence plates (I'd lost one up fron and one on the
back), refilled the water for the windshield, and replaced some missing tire
caps, no extra charge. It seems to me that is they do all those little things
there's a good chance that the rest of the work was well done.
(a.k.a. attention to detail?) Anyways, the name of the place is Yarnell's
on the corner of Evelyn and Pioneer in Mountain View.

Good Luck...         TKJ
----------
I have taken my nissan 300zx to Yarnell's and I would recommend them, I also
had a major service (30,000 miles).  They even offered to give me a ride to
my work. I also was recommended to Yarnell's. I believe I also paid about
$279.00 but this was about 2 years ago and it's time to go again.

good luck jlo

I recommend checking out "Let's Get a Video!" on El Camino & Flora
Vista (near Lawrence Expy & El Camino).  They are much more service
oriented than the chains and also offer Nintendo/Sega, Laser disks, and
antenna installations and repairs.  They charge a bit more for movies
but they're in better condition, too.  The wall behind the register has
a growing collection of shredded Blockbuster cards donated by customers
who have voiced similar sentiments :-)

I have gone twice in the past and probably never again.  Expect
a sunburn and MAJOR traffic and twice the people there.  If you
do go, get there EARLY.  Bring some sunscreen and a hat and
expect long lines and crowds.  Of course, maybe the novelty
has worn out and it might not be that bad.  For the first
timer it should provide alot of fun, almost a carnvial
atmosphere.

There are many state parks on the west side of the Santa Cruz mountains that
have established camp grounds.  Big Basin is probably the most popular, but
there are several others.  There are also several state beaches with camp
grounds along Highway 1 south of Santa Cruz.  These are probably somewhat
louder than the mountain parks.

Make sure you call the parks ahead of time to find out about reservation
policies.  Most probably fill up on summer weekends.

our final destination being Victoria on Vancouver Island.

 If you have any great experiences on things that you have seen,
places you have stayed (e.g.,B&B's), restaurants you have been to, etc....
I would love to hear about it.

  So far, I would like to see: Columbia Gorge, Mount St Helens,
Olympia Peninsula, Victoria. 

  We pretty much want to sight-see, go antique shopping, see some
countryside, etc.... , but no camping.  

thanks for any recommendations, and please e-mail directly to me.

The last time I went looking for a blank open reel tape, like an idiot I went
to a local stereo store.  They looked at me like I was asking to buy 8-track
cartridges! Anyhow, one place told me to try a music equipment store like
Guitar Showcase (Bascom Ave, Campbell), which I did, and they had some.
I was looking for 10-1/2" x 1/4" tape.  Please let me know what you find,
or post it.

	About a month after I moved into my house, the Argus started delivering

I reminded her that I had never subscribed, but she just shrugged it off.  I
suspect the Argus has people who check on all of the property transactions in

Heh.  Glad you asked:
1) Rasputin's -- Telegraph near UCB campus.  Great selection.  Tons
  		  of stuff.  They even have records.  One side of the 
	street has the newer stuff (with a big load of old stuff also).
	Across the street, you have the older stuff at cheaper prices.
2) Amoebas -- Telegraph in Berkeley near people's park.  Like Rasputin's.
	      BIG selection.
3) Vinyl Solution, San Mateo -- Smaller store.  Sometimes you may
				 find a great deal.  Sometimes, it is 
				 overpriced.
4) Bedrock Records, San Rafael -- Small place.  Similar to Vinyl solution
5) Maximum Music(????  Forgot the name), San Rafael -- larger than
							Bedrock and Vinyl
				but smaller than Rasputin's/Amoeba.  Slightly
				more expensive than Bedrock/Vinyl.  Vinyl's
				prices, btw, vary greatly.

So far, that's what I remember.

A lot of my favorites are on Haight St. in SF, and they include Reckless and
Rough Trade.  Amoeba and Rasputin's in Berkeley (around the Telegraph Ave.
area) are also good.  If you're in Sacramento, you might want to check out
the Beat (33rd St. and Folsom Blvd.).  Hope this helps!

I seem to recall that negative subscription options are illegal in
many circumstances.  I wonder if this is one of them?  I wonder how
the Argus would react to the threat of a lawsuit?
