I think there were some NIMBYs on the peninsula who stopped it. There were definitely NIMBYs in Marin who prevented it from being expanded that way. But, you can take Amtrak from the East Bay to San Jose, fwiw.

By request, here's a thread of books that I think make excellent gifts this holiday season (obviously they're cartographically inclined, you know me)

1. Best anthology
"All Over the Map" by Betsy Mason and Greg Miller
A gorgeous, full color history of maps mind-bending maps from around the world.

Honorable mention: best gift for someone who grew up in St. Louis “The Radical Atlas of Ferguson, U.S.A.”

There were only 2 at this sighting. I’ve seen a flock of 5 in the spring

I saw the Wild Turkeys of the East Side the other day and stopped to admire them. Three college-aged people walked by and noticed them as well. None of us took a picture so I guess this means the turkeys are totally normal now

Daily mantra:

Time to start a "ProJo Swift-angle pitchbot" account?

I could listen to the multi language version all day youtu.be/U6lu_wEsW0E?...

2nd most important news update of the day!

I resisted posting The Chart in the company slack today.

Please clap.

And please drive safely

That's a good looking mixed-breed flock, they just need a Rhode Island Red to round it out

Pretty much any man over 70 automatically started calling me Jim (except for my dad)

I'm imagining someone shaking Charles' hand and saying, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Windsor."

Autumn's Scylla & Charybdis: ride in the bike lane covered in slippery wet leaves? Or in the travel lane with the 4,000+ lb SUVs?

This is well worth your 5 minutes of listening

trunk or treat is important because it prepares our young children for the rich fulfilling teenage experience of hanging out in parking lots

I don’t have the extroversion or the patience to meet with the public to be a politician.

Tattoos: labyrinth symbol on one arm, three body problem/lagrange point diagram on the other.

There’s a bit of naive adolescent profundity to them, but they’re still okay.

Watch for the dry line ... 😂

“Quality, Value, Convenience”

It was pretty good! Just needs to go the length of Hope street

After the trail pilot was over, I planned to keep two of these signs as a memento. I brought one inside, but left another out on my lawn for a few days until someone stole it.🤷‍♂️

For Halloween, should I put this out on my lawn to scare my neighbors?

NYT spelling bee puzzle doesn’t accept “tuppence” but does accept “toonie”

That one is astounding!

“Keep honking, I’m leaving Rhode Island and using a map from The Map Center to find my way”

That’s amore!

I wish I had his email!
