You know, when California chose to blame wildfires soley on PG&E (not innocent for sure!) I knew they would respond by punishing outlying communities.

Here in San Francisco, I was chatting with a corner store owner. I said 'I figured out where you buy your bread. You get it from <this vendor>.' He said "oh that's just for the sour rolls. We have three more bread vendors for the other bread options."

My mom remembered the polio vaccine as life changing. When she was a young child, she was never allowed to go to a beach or a fair or anywhere with crowds for fear of contracting polio.

When she was ten, she had a sugarcube and the world opened up. There was nothing to fear anymore.

Over here, Pianoman has connected with my Gen Alpha kid. I did not see this coming.

FWIW, Myrna Melgar mentioned the other week at the Sunnyside Neighborhood Assoc that she believed that use of the MTA's parking lot real estate is indeed on the table to help fund the MTA.

Saw someone get out of the Waymo in front of me but must not have completely closed the doors. It sat there unmoving. I got out and closed the doors and it moved on.

On the plus side: my friend left something in a Waymo and was able to go to an office and get it back. Much easier than other rides.

Hope it's not just bolted to that brick? Otherwise that's ok with me.

Stick together and keep looking after each other folks.

There are some hard times ahead. Things we've been worried about for quite a while seem to be unfolding/accelerating before our eyes.

And sufferingβ€” no matter how far awayβ€” always makes its way to us in time.

Steel yourself, but stay soft.

A bit over 20 years ago the housing+library+Canyon Market structure got built. It worked out fantastically. Imagine GP without it! A good design here can work too.

Before Android, I ran into Dan Egnor on his chat system...what was it called? It was inspired by MIT Zephyr. And I remember meeting him in a Seattle bar in the late 90s. Thanks for the work on Waymo, Dan!
