In a late breaking news release San Francisco is now greasing the bolts on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge (recently named the Willie Brown Bridge). After years of expounding the greasing of screws on fishing Reels Alan Tani has been vindicated by the adaptation by the Bay Bridge authorities who are now greasing the bolts on the bridge to keep away salt water corrosion. Mr. Tani could not be reached for comment before this post. Dominick

Dominick, spoken like a lawyer! ;) I can tell this isn't your first press release. :D Bob
:o
They should re-name the bridge to "alantani.com" Bridge
That's good news Dominick, I expect they are greasing the deck bearings as well, or TSI 301 if they are going to cast with it ;D
I hope they got plenty of Yamalube! ;D
williebrown got a bridge named after him? :-\
but in typical fashion SF chose to not follow Mr. Tani's se and instead of using Yamaha grease used some cheap knock off.

And the one individual that held up the safety of bay area residents for years so he could have a shiny bridge in the bay, and ran almost 7 times over project cost (over 6 billion dollars)
Now now guys. Part of the 12 year old rule is no politics. Everyone can Google Willie Brown and make up their own minds about him. Dominick
I thought he might have been kin to the Great Ernie Brown! The Turtleman! :P Live Action! ;D
