Ah, BART. One of the few reasons anybody in the Bay area can respond positively to the question, “Read any good books leately?”

Oh Denis, that is sad. Do you mean out Danville way or the wilds of the 580 corridor? either way, I hope you work in the same area and aren’t dealing with one of the many commutes from hell across bridges that are often frozen in time.

I used to leave in San Francisco but I am now exiled to the farthest confines of the east bay…

Hey Denis, Of just lucky.

I didn’t realize that you lived in my old home town—or home for 25 odd years (very odd:) Do you actually live in the City or down in the Valley?

Thanks for your comment Miki !

Indeed, these are common approaches to problem resolution. The beauty of it, as you wrote is to become purposeful rather than intuitive in their application.

As for enjoying SF, I work there so I rarely take the time to actually enjoy it

Hi Denis, the design strategies you describe are a good description of how most people live their lives. The difference is whether you do it with forethought or just stumble unconsciously through the possibilities and luck out at times in finding the best approach.

I hope you found time to enjoy SF, my old home. Love that city:)
