Trapped in Fremont

Help! I’m trapped in a Fremont strip mall with the Fremont tech-industry lunch-time crowd all around me! I’m having some work done on my car, and I have to wander around here until 5pm.

43 minutes down, 4 hrs 17 minutes remaining.

    Bet there’s not even an Apple store that you can seek sanctuary in :-).

    Matt — every time I see your name, I think, “damn. I owe that guy a call.” :)

    Hmmm. I’m at Lowes now (have been in every store here, it seems), and everyone who works in this strip mall is young and unscarred. There are actually young women manning the registers. I’m used to city employees, who are for some reason very much more … scarred by life.

    you’re having work done on your car .. or had it done … neon lights underneath ? blacked out windows ? asian graphics on the side ?

    is it right to do that to your car or shouldn’t you get a honda civic type r or something ?

    oh you got duck tape racing stripes didn’t you and some 21 inch racing rims !!

    Hey, giles. I got a HUGE SPOILER, and it RULES.

    hahaha.

    just kidding. I didn’t get anything fancy. Just a little window tint…
