It’s the cooler resting on a log that does it for me

A Thanksgiving salute to these two hanging out in the Carquinez Strait this morning

My daughter crashed her first planning commission meeting last night! She wandered in, took a seat and watched dutifully for like 10 minutes, just holding onto her stick!

Love a civic minded kid!

This post is a spiritual successor to an ancient time when the A’s represented Oakland and I was stirring the pot over at the now shuttered @latimes.com downtown offices

Big Game week really stirs the pot over at @bart.gov HQ!

I spotted @valmenotti.bsky.social from across the floor and came running.

Well my Paternity leave is OVER and I’m back at @bart.gov social duties

I was greeted Monday by a great predawn and sunset Capitol Corridor commute

I had a lot of fun riding BART with Zayn and his family and sharing their love for transit!

Check out this Behind the Scenes photo it looks like we have no choice but to start a BART band now?!

Tbh while I was waiting for this train around 8:52 pm last night as it got darker and darker I was thinking … “you know I wonder if the Zodiac ever cruised this road looking for his next victim”

Spooky stuff!

New summer ritual: The first day it crosses 90 degrees in Martinez I bike along Carquinez Scenic Dr. to see Capitol Corridor Train 548 come around the bend just past Port Costa … magical!

Very bikeable

The Martinez waterfront along the Carquinez Strait is sort of the tropics of the Bay Area?

Biking, BARTing, and posting

I showed him this in line and got a “right on”

We also commiserated about seeing The Master in 70 at the Grand Lake back in 2012.

The Bay remains such an extremely cool and small place.

I was in line for coffee and heard this voice. I thought “That dude sounds JUST like Ryan Coogler.”

I turn around, and IT IS Ryan Coogler! People were coming up and singing his praises, so I had to as well. We chatted about Skyline, Saint Mary’s, 70 mm at the Grand Lake, etc. Extremely cool dude.

Find me at @bart.gov May The Fourth event if you want to discuss the disastrous state of journalism in the Republic … I used to work at THE DAILY CORUSCANT now I’m a social media guy for the JEDI COUNCIL.

(PLO KOON is a great mentor…

A total shame what’s happening to the LA Times under the current leadership

Feeling seen listening to @oneblakeminute.bsky.social and @bilgeebiri.bsky.social explore the metaphysical paradox of how every Michael Mann movie can simultaneously be your favorite movie ever made while also not being in your top 3 Mann rankings.
