Francisco Garcia billboard

[Warhawk]

Anyone else see the Francisco Garcia billboard on the south side of Bus-80 as you cross west over the Sacramento River into West Sac.? I think it's for the Yellow Pages or something.

Nice to see him get some advertising opportunities. Anyone see any other ads with him?

I looked back at the billboard while driving home and looked up the company name (Enlace Yellow Pages).

Here's a blip I was able to find:

Better May than April.

Good point. I wasn't quite clear, though.

I should have said, "It's only May. We have a lot of TDOS to go..."

And it's only May.

yeah, AND my hockey team(Canucks) got ousted from the playoffs on a game I was at on my birthday in San Jose last month...to go along with me being at the last game against the Spurs...hell, I'm 0-2 this year in decisive games, hell, I give up. At least the draft is coming up in about a month for both leagues.

I know, I think I forgot the to show it was just a bit of optimism
