Dianne Feinstein Dead At 90

[The Ghostbuster]

Senator Dianne Feinstein of California died yesterday at the age of 90. Like Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, I believe Senator Feinstein stayed in office too long. When one is getting up there in age (in their 70s or 80s), or their health and mental facilities start to decline, it is time to pass the torch to someone else (preferably someone younger).

The only road relarted thing I remember for Senator Feinstein, was a "pie in the sky" proposal for another San Francisco Bay Bridge crossing.

In general, yes, but in Senator Feinstein's case there were excellent reasons for continuing to do her job that are beyond the scope of this thread.

I had already planned a visit to San Francisco before she died.  On the day of the memorial outside City Hall, I attended the Disney Family Museum.  I found the last half of the service on the radio, so I listened to it while hearing the Blue Angels practice directly, and then over the radio.
