What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

Willie Brown Middle School is a San Francisco 6-8 in the Bayview District. For the entire β€˜24-β€˜25 school year, I have been driving the 44 O’Shaughnessy bus that stops there right after school gets out. That trip has been the busiest and most challenging part of my working day.

We missed you by a few days. We’re up in Zaragoza now. Headed by train a bit north to keep cycle touring. Isn’t Barcelona amazing?

We were impressed with Nantes, and Toulouse. Both had excellent pedestrian focused cores, and loads of bikes. Lyon too. A lot of cities in France are moving quickly to what we call City 2.0.

Please someone create a point of sale single touch tracker, like those you find in airport bathrooms with happy neutral and unhappy faces, but bus bike pedestrian and car buttons. Then the shop owners will see and trust the results.

Ho Chi Min City Metro, line 1. This was our cultural activity of the day. Rode line 1 end to end. What a positive impact the full build out will have on this City. Way to go Saigon!

How how fun! We’ll be on our bikes in Spain and likely in Barcelona 2nd week of April or so. And in Valencia right around there. We’ll keep in touch!

I hope with more awareness and research help will come.

Sen. Sanders Responds to Trump's Congressional Address YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders

Apparently some orange clown gave a speech tonight about some alternate reality in his head. You of course don’t need to watch it. But you do need to watch Bernie Sanders’ great reply. www.youtube.com/live/QlrQKv1...

I really enjoyed The Other Bennett Sister. A nice break from current events. Part one is just a rehash but then it gets even better.

Sutro Tower is a unique three-legged 297.8 m (977 ft) tall TV and radio lattice tower located in San Francisco, California.

Another iconic San Francisco landmark. Less lauded, but pretty cool. Sutro Tower. It was the tallest structure in SF until the Salesforce tower went up in 2018.

We were impressed with the number of cyclists in Bristol, and with the lack of car traffic on many streets. As a pedestrian it was a good city. They seem to be headed in the right direction. (We were only visiting.)

Bristol Temple Mead train station this morning at 9:15. Loads more bike parking all around the station. Bristol is adding a lot of good bike infrastructure.

Portland 2008 was amazing! Remember that Amtrak train ride up very fondly. It may have been when we first met. What a crew.
