Tomorrow morning Jan 3, the Sun and Moon align to pull the Earth's seas toward SF, with tides peaking over +7' around 10:30 am. We're fortunate there's little rain expected then. If you have luxury of time, visit the bayshore to see our near-future baseline
Tomorrow’s high tide will be the highest tide since 1998. 🌕

I enjoyed seeing the "Fuck Kiffin" t shirt at the Sugar Bowl. Loved seeing the interim coach win, while hearing about all the loose ends he had to pull together for the last two playoff games.

23rd and Balboa had a "sparking" transformer as well. This does not sound like everyday protocol, lol.
The 12th and Balboa transformer blew again. SFFD arrived about 20 minutes ago and then 10 minutes later it blew. Roman candle fire again.
Another power outage in the Richmond. Fun times ...
Thanks, PG&E!

Inherited a 20" Specialized Rock Hopper Comp from the early 90s. Has the OG crankset. Never heard of Shimano's Biopace line and had to look it up.

Unlike traffic signals, roundabouts don’t require electricity. They can still function well during blackouts.

Sort of like how one has to diversify an investment portfolio or risk losing everything all at once, a transportation system that doesn't have a diversity of modes is destined to crash. Building everything around cars, autonomous or otherwise, is always going to lead to this outcome.
