I wasn't aware of the strike until after I'd done Tuesday's, so my streak is still active until it marks Wednesday as incomplete.

But I don't cross picket lines.

My oldest son (working in Santa Clara County) said it was much busier than expected early on. I didn't get a chance to talk to him on his lunch break.

Sunnyvale decided they liked them enough that they closed Murphy Avenue to vehicle traffic permanently.

But, that's one small street in a very car-centric urban area.

It's fascinating how many right-wing types keep saying their lives are in danger if the Democrats win.

How many times has Ted Nugent said he won't survive a Democratic presidency now? It's at least a couple.

Idea I got from a health coach many years ago - instead of (or in addition to) journaling, take a picture of every meal. It saves trying to work out portion sizes and details like that, and gives a visual overview for things like "is there any color in your diet, or is it all brown?"
