Stevens Pass ski area thinking that Chumstick highway can handle the kind of traffic to sustain them is kind of ludicrous.

With three extra hours for that trip (each way), they will lose a lot of customers.

Barnes & Noble Northgate is open until 10pm during Holiday Capitalism Season (tonight through the 23rd) so I am closing down the cafe for the first day in celebration of something around here being available after 8pm.

Worst part of the whole MLS divisions thing is that I only just now started to get Seattle fans to hate my guts. Starting beef with Ohio is just punching down.

MIssion Local (@missionlocal.org) has the story that Lurie has been found to be violating open records law w.r.t. his agreement with Trump to call off the National Guard.

Mayor Lurie broke law by keeping Trump call records secret, S.F. committee says
Is Mayor Lurie required by law to release details of how he sweet-talked President Trump out of invading San Francisco?

Somehow this car fell off a tow truck, over a fence, and onto the tracks.
BART service has stopped between Castro Valley and West Dublin/Pleasanton stations due to a car crash on I-580.

A vehicle involved in the crash is on the BART tracks.

We do not yet have an ETA for service restoration.

This is 200 feet from me. I will buy you a drink if it doesn't turn out that the perpetrator and victims were all street people.

Traffic safety thinking is so broken. You have to get almost to the bottom of this article to find out the "overhaul" is:

1. In 100 days, publish a new high injury network map.
2. In 6 months, publish a report that identifies a list of the top behaviors that cause crashes.

At this vigil earlier, I actually watched a group of nearby residents come up and question the attendees on the specifics of the crash that killed Allie last night.

Were they hit in the bike lane? Did they hit the beg button? Were they wearing all black? Etc.

I could not actually believe it.
The person who was killed last night crossing Beacon Ave on a bike by a hit-and-run driver was named Allie. They were described as a "hard-core cyclist."

The vigil/protest is expected to take over Beacon and Stevens until midnight, if SPD lets that happen.

I think the worst part of getting older is that people I know are terminally ill more frequently, and waiting to hear that news sucks.
