I was annoyed and amused by the description. Besides being all caps there are no less than 12 spelling errors. Can you find them all? Can you find a new one. Give it a try. It is also good to know that Trader Vic ascended to heights greater than that of a mere tiki genius. Thanks Warren! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3565384461&category=2001&rd=1 "I like you, man. You're crazy, but I like you." [ Edited by: Primo Kimo on 2003-11-17 17:30 ]

I was born and raised in Palo Alto and I remember Emeryville being closer to Oakland than S.F. Maybe there was a big plate shift since I left. Funny thing: Mapquest puts Emeryville just north of Fresno=0

The webpage I showed is deceiving. They were using a larger city name (S.F.) to help identify a smaller town that most people would not know where it was on the map.
