Well, I like cats as much as anyone else BUT this is thread is 5 years old. I have cat photos to melt your heart, But... Why is it being listed as a new today posting. I get very tired of clicking on a "today" posting and finding that it is a thread on some Mickey Mouse subject which is 8...

What can I say. I have lived and worked in the greater San Francisco all my life. In the 60s starting in SF and heading south on 101 towards San Jose you couldn't go barely a mile without running into a Hifi /audio store. Going off into the various neighborhoods would bring you into more stores...
