Anyone can come watch ballot processing and counting in Los Angeles County through the glass windows and in a cordoned area. We got a special tour walking through the processing floor. Book that in advance. YU worked at a vote center until 10:30 PM yesterday & came for the tour. They have bike racks

Watching one of 22 optical scanners read ballots. A few minutes later, the ballot count update added another 120,000. Now over 2M ballots have been processed+counted in LA County (5.8 M registered voters).
On the processing floor, only green pens and gold pencils are allowed (invisible to scanner)

Reading Russell Shorto's book, Amsterdam, on couch today. Maybe I will tackle a pile of paperwork later

The point of the tunnel was to avoid sending people into this hostile and dangerous intersection. Note the width and high speed slip lane.
Banning bikes from the tunnel sends people on bikes into a death trap.

This tunnel was recently shored up and widened at considerable expense to avoid the intersection of PCH and Rosecrans Ave. Yet bikes are banned. The sign says Bike Route, but Manhattan Beach installed a smaller Ends sign underneath.

Went to dinner & book club in downtown Manhattan Beach last night. Enjoy a sunset from a walk street with sidewalk dining. Also a coffee shop & a bookstore that share a courtyard.
Saw a recumbent etrike and a Cybertruck parked on the same block. Tell me again how handicapped people need to drive?

I'm glad that Rivian is going under. I don't want to "share the road" with 7,100 pound missiles with 1,025 hp.
They are literally killer vehicles (kid killed in school pickup line by one).
Rivian management irresponsibly kicked up the hp & torque from Gen 1 to Gen 2!

I attended the Redondo Beach Public Works Commission meeting last night via Zoom.
I learned that 500-600 people bike through the intersection of Beryl and Flagler daily, at the isthmus between North and South Redondo Beach. Twice as many cyclists turn into the HS parking lot as car drivers

Inflation is out of control!
Before Trumpflation, I paid $8.99 for a pair of Zongzi at 99 Ranch. Today, they are $10.99, a 22% increase

We spent 4 nights in the Congestion Pricing zone of Manhattan and thought it needs more decongestion pricing.
I wish LA had candidates with bold transit visions. Or even any vision beyond "just one more lane". Parking cars on public roads is using the roads.
