I Just want to commend the firefighters. Our power went out and not four minutes later we heard sirens. That was an amazingly fast response time! Thank you Pleasanton firefighters!

Power came on in Sycamore Heights at 5:30am. Thank you Pleasanton Fire Dept and PG and E for all your hard work.

A bird caused it? What kind of a bird? Like a loon maybe? Like one of the many liberal loons that fly over our city and drop there ecsrament onto patriotic P-towners?

Can't you just be grateful that the fire dept and others worked so hard to do the right thing? why do you always need to throw your political garbage into everything? You are really the Loon!

Poor bird! Wish it did not have to die.

RIP.

That's right, Steven. Another liberal conspiracy. Gotta keep those union firefighters employed, ya know?

Susan, the comment from Steven is not correct. No loon. Nonsense. The power outage was caused by George Bush.

Power outage? What about power outRage? We have a president rolling dice out in back of the White House with Eric Holder and his zuit suit wearing gun giving away friends and if he gets a second term theirs bound to be a shark tank in the Green Room. Its all so disenguous. Fo power outages to make us sensitive to Al Gore's big house being threatened by the Sun. Wake up people. The global warming advocates are in our mist. A bird? Likely story!

Hm, now terrorist birds are coming over here on BART, transfering to the #8 bus, to cause power failures and start fires!!!! I'll bet that the real truth about the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon!!! Steven, how could you miss that!!!
