So they say hot pepper flakes are a mouse repellent. We sprinkled a lot outside to deal with a mouse problem. So why are the local mice(there was one off camera) happily seeking out these pepper flakes?
A picture of a mouse taken through a screen door. The mouse is sitting on small grey and white pebbles, next to a flat gray/ tan stone, with some green baby tear leaves visible to the left of the mouse. There are several yellow- orange specs visible, these are seeds from the hot pepper flakes

It seems a lot of us feel Waymo, Uber, Lyft,... ( The Transportation Network Companies) don't belong on San Francisco's Market Street. Does #MayorLurie really understand what he's doing to us?

Why, oh why, is Google/Alphabet inflicting this on me? Offering me #AI ( #Gemini or any other flavor) as an option I can decline, Ok, I can live with that.

This is inflicting it on me. And now I am actively looking for how to minimize #Google (& #Alphabet) in my life. It is not OK.

Gee, apparently some people don't want to discuss what the data actually shows...
Screen shot from @Listifixations.app notifying me that the person I responded to (@doomloopdispatch.bsky.social) has blocked me.

At the San Francisco #HandsOff event
A sign with 2 rows of simple cartoon heads. In the top row a head says "uh, hi, yes, I have question". And in the second row the head says what the fuck"

SF Bay Area: All NPS sites are under threat from the Musk/DOGE chainsaw surgery. The Presidio, Muir Woods & the GGNRA are under threat.

Please come & support the NPS and the Presidio tomorrow (Saturday) noon at the Presidio Visitors Center (Main Post). The 43-Masonic gets you there.
Poster advertising the event, showing a picture of Crissy Field and the Golden Gate Bridge with fog coming into the bay under the bridge. The poster is dark green, and the text announces the location in yellow text. The header reads" Protect Your Parks Protest" in orange; Presidio of San Francisco in larger yellow text, and underneath in light blue "Our Public Lands Are Not For Sale!" followed by orange text reading "Demand that Park Rangers, Federal Staff and public lands are protected"

And the railroad bridge. It's been in this position since 1976. It was working in my childhood.

#AbandonedRail. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crook_P...
A photo of a railroad drawbridge in the up position on the right. It's a winter photo, so the bridge is visible through the bare branches of leafless trees on the left is the cause that continues to the other bank. It's a gray, misty day so the photo is in natural grayscale.

Trees and tracks playing well together , but not good for travel.

Part of the Providence, Warren and Bristol Railroad, approaching the Crook Point Bascule Bridge, unfortunately abandoned in 1976

#AbandonedRailroad so not #HSR or even #trains
A tree trunk growing up between the rails of an abandoned railroad track, a winter photo with a thin layer of snow, and yellow brown dormant grasses and shrubs all around.
