The crux of my argument with firefighters is this - Stop fighting street safety improvements. If you woke up tomorrow and simply said “we will work with others to make safer streets while being adequately equipped to do our jobs” I would have nothing more to say.

A week or so ago my wife decided she was going to learn how to make, in her words, legit sourdough. Did a bunch of research. Bought a starter from some place that claims over 200 years of continuous use. This was her first ever batch.

I don’t think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don’t understand or even realize exist.

She’s a culinary freak of nature. It’s like this with everything. So, yes.

Can we teach Europe how to install air conditioning and in return they teach us how to build public transit?

Woke up this morning to find out I had violated the Internet rules of bread by not showing the crumb. Here are slices we have left, sorry.

This is only possible because the port of Long Beach isn’t under the control of the International Longshoreman’s Association.

This isn’t China. This is Long Beach, California. Over 100 transport containers move autonomously between quayside cranes, storage yards, and rail transfer points. The vehicles can achieve a maximum speed of 13 mph, and can transport containers that are up to 70 tonnes.

Our first trip to Europe many years ago I wondered if some people might dislike us because we were American. I quickly learned that as long as the British continue to travel we will never have to worry about being at the top of any country’s most disliked tourists list.

Watched a rezoning where people in a recently built subdivision don’t want the proposed one next to them to be connected because then those people may use their sidewalks. People in near identical homes. Next to yours, which you moved into 18 months ago. From somewhere else.

“I just wish the grandkids lived closer” she thought as she hung up the phone with her daughter, before getting to work on mobilizing the neighborhood against yet another set of greedy developer-driven zoning changes for smaller lots, reduced setbacks & weird pocket neighborhoods
