Oakland, CA commute times?
I am planning to take a job in Oakland and have to move from Gilroy, CA. I am looking at apartments outside of Oakland and want to know what the rush hour commute times are from these cities to the heart of Oakland (not just the city limit sign).
Dublin
Livermore
Vallejo
Benicia
Hayward
Pleasonton
Walnut Creek
Concord
San Rafael
If you know of the rush hour and non rush hour commute times from any of these cities to Oakland, CA, please leave a message.
Thank you.

Which country or state has had the most capitals?
Which country or state, anywhere in the world, which has had the most capitals (let’s start at 1 AD, to keep it real.)
Someone had asked about US state capitals, it turned out
California had 5
17th c.-1777 :Loreto (southern Calif.)
1777-1849: Monterey
1849-1851: San Jose
1851-1853: Vallejo
1853 Benicia
1854-: Sacramento
and Texas has had enough capitals to give you a nosebleed, does anyone know what is the official count?:
(various colonial and administrative capitals)
1772-1824: San Antonio
Republic of Texas:
-1836: San Felipe de Austin
1836: Washington-on-the-Brazos, Harrisburg, Galveston Island, Velasco, Columbia
1837: Houston
1839: Austin
So, the challenge seems to be to find a country or state which has had >10 capitals. Probably going to depend on political definitions.
Inspired by: “What is the longest any country has maintained its current borders?”

Good beach for a family day in SF Bay Area?
I’m in Vallejo (North/East Bay). I want to take about 20-40 family members to a nice beach Sat Aug 30. Where is your favorite/best pick?
I’m familiar with several, but I usually just go with my husband. I’d like your thoughts ’cause I’ll be dragging my family there and want to make sure it’s super fun.
All are great suggestions. I’m researching them all. Thank you very much, all three are good advice!

Need the title of a possible Boris Vallejo art piece?
So there was a work of art in a tattoo magazine a couple months ago that I’m almost POSITIVE is boris vallejo.
It is a large green demon holding a ***** woman with dark brown hair. The woman is facing the demon so you only see her backside. The demons hands are holding her waist and **** and there is a blood trail from where is claw pierces her ****.
I cannot find this work anywhere now and I need to find it! It was so fantastic. Like I said I’m ALMOST positive it’s Boris’s or Julie Bell’s work.
