We’ve had an uptick of coyote attacks in our neighborhood so we’re keeping the cats inside after dark. My pal Feta is annoyed by the new policy and was grumpy for a few hours last night.

Photos of the 105/110 interchange always remind me of all the harm caused by car dependency. The 105, the last freeway built in LA, was built after a swath of lower income, primarily Black communities were razed, replaced by infrastructure that remains a blight and a huge source of noise pollution.

This definition also aligns with what I thought the word means. But I realize that some people react like the term is implying they are not from the city.

They don't think they need to pretend it's not class warfare and they also think their money will overrule the public will.

This is how Fox News is trying to frame the administration's failure to get an audience here. It's laughable but I suppose there are minions who shallow this and the rest of the absurd propo. No one even pauses to comtemplate the embarrassment of the president's obsession with juvenile trolling.

Standings after the first of two rounds. These women are pushing the progression of freeriding. There is a lot of talk about uplifting women's cycling and a huge metric of success is viewership of televised content. So if you care, please watch!!

This is the intersection. The motorist was driving in the direction shown and the rider coming from the right. We're supposed to believe that a)the rider blew a stop sign and hit the side of the trTuck; b)the driver never saw the collision or the rider; c) PD interviewed anyone other than the driver
