a) We're right, you're wrong. ;) "The 805" is a contraction of "the 805
freeway". You can't take "101" to Gilroy, it isn't a proper name.
b) And besides, what's with taking "280" to "THE CITY"!? Don't y'all have
more than ONE city up there?
c) And besides THAT, fix your email program, it isn't wrapping lines.
d) Now, about those daughters...
