I was born in "the city" (SF) in '35, and from '39 grew up in
San Carlos, where I often heard references to "South City".
No idea how far back before then the name got started-
 but possibly a reasonable outgrowth of SF being "the city".

 My family has a custom of kidnapping the bride during the reception
and keeping her until the next morning.  Being as it is a family
custom the newlyweds are aware it may happen and precautions like
sneaking out of the reception early, hiding a getaway car, etc. 
are fairly common.  The kidnappers have about a 20% sucess rate
in recent years.

 Another good trick is to get the groom likkered up the night
of the bachelor party, take him to the airport and put him on
a plane to ??? (Hawaii works good) telling the stewardess he
has to get there for his wedding.  Make sure there is a return
flight which gets back at least 5 minutes before the wedding (if
you feel kind).

Hello,

We are looking for a good preschool/daycare situation for our

elementary program or at least a kindergarten.
-We live in the north end of Mountain View so anywhere in
Mountain View, Los Altos or Palo Alto is fine. We could go
as far north as Menlo Park for a truly outstanding program.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

If you're willing to do it on a personal computer, it comes
cheap:  A little bit of programming and an off-the-shelf
sound board.

Fascinating problem:  Air traffic controllers seem to be

You are just out of touch.  Reach out and touch someone.

The City is San Francisco.  Lots of folks, if you ask them to write their
address, will write SF.  A good number will just put down "City" knowing
that you will understand which city.

The folks from South San Francisco do the same.  They either write 
SSF, South SF, or South City.  

I first saw this shortly after I moved to the area about 15 years ago.  
Somebody had entered "South City" in a database because someone had written
this on an address card.  I've seen it frequently since then.

My mother, who's lived here in S.F. since 1939, has always referred to it as
South City.  I would imagine they've been calling it that almost as long as
they've been calling S.F. "the City."

Call the Santa Clara County Kennel Club.  They maintain a very helpful 
information line.  We're looking for a dog and contacted them a couple
days ago.  All the people we've talked to about the various breeds 
we're considering (sorry, not including Basenji) have been uniformly 
kind and helpful.  They will turn you on to only good-quality breeders,
not puppy mills or places where you're likely to get dogs with 
personality or health problems.


I don't have the number handy but they're in the phone book.

Yeah, but there are bucket-brigade devices made for the purpose of delaying
analog signals - it's been about 20 years - I don't remember the name of the
maker anymore.  But probably the suggestion to use an audio board in
a PC is the easiest to get working quickly.

|
|But isn't there anything really *nice* that you could do for him instead?

Perhaps "prank" isn't the right word.

I once attended a wedding where the couple were like minded.  The wedding
was held at their mountain home on the volleyball court.  The made a reference
that they wanted to have the wedding on a tennis court because you could
always find "love" on a tennis court but the volleyball court was the best
they could do.  During the ceremony, following the traditional words of
encouragement to "make a bond that would last forever" he sprinkled fairy
dust over them "just in case".  He called it his "cosmic superglue". After
they were pronounced man and wife they each had a song to sing to the 
other (they were both musicians as were many of the friends in attendance).  
He sang "Please Release Me", and then she followed up with "All of Me".  
It had just the right amount of levity mixed with some very touching moments.  

In any case, throwing in a song during the ceremony, or as the "first dance"
during the reception which might not be your standard selection could 
provide levity yet not distract from "the moment".  At another recent
wedding, which had a country western motif (complete with little cowboy
hats for the favors), the first dance song was "Friends in Low Places".  They
had *everyone* singing along.  This turned out to be one of the better
weddings/receptions I've ever been to.
