The stock option, however, doesn't seem to be working as your vox populi playing card. Seems to me that Holiday Season 2000 is the finale of your rock star CEOness, and it marks the beginning of your hog trot back to the trough. Yours in Perpetuity, Paula Gilovich Dear Silicon Valley Road, Several years ago, the state of California exercised its right of eminent domain to purchase my family ranch and property in San Jose.

Even before my family was required to leave the property, the city was working.
Silicon Valley is one of the most successful brand names ever.
The term does not refer to a place exactly, a real valley where people live real lives. I've since tried to discover the physical borders and population of Silicon Valley, but my research uncovered the fact that no borders exist, and no populace exists. It is merely the trademark of my birthplace. Peters is excited about this development. Frank, of course, is scandalized.
