Lucky SHD 400 (6x6)
English:
This black-and-white photograph captures an urban scene under a clear sky. In the foreground, there are trees with dense foliage, and a pedestrian staircase leading up to an elevated walkway or bridge. The staircase is flanked by a tall streetlight. The bridge extends horizontally across the image, supported by pillars. The overall atmosphere is calm, with a focus on the architectural elements and the contrast between the sky and the structures.

Collette and I at the #NoKings Rally in Smyrna GA. There were about 400 people at this rally (just a guess, could have been a lot more). Lot's of thumbs up and honking from the cars driving by. A few people , apparently with damaged index fingers, seemed to indicate we were # 1. I would say about 50% of the cars were supportive, 45% ambivalent, and 5% , were demonstrably not fans. We were there …

Today I saw a 14R miss the green light on Mission at 24th St, despite the green being extended for the bus. It was stuck behind a long line of drivers illegally going straight. This is supposed to be a right turn only except Muni. Scofflaw driving is defeating transit priority on Mission Street. #sfpol

Two cars in the red, bus-only lane that goes straight, instead of the right-turn only lane that is the only lane legal for them to use. A sign says right turn only, except trucks, buses, taxis and bicycles. Up ahead you can see a line of cars that have just made the same illegal move, backed up through the intersection.
A picture facing the other direction. The same white SUV is visible as in the first picture, and a 14R Mission Rapid bus to Ferry Plaza is behind it.

Hey everyone,
Gaza Verified is now open again for verification calls in 2026.
The new process for signing up for verification calls uses sign in with Mastodon and should remove the last remaining technical hurdle that was giving some of our friends in Gaza a hard time (adding the verification link to your Mastodon account is not intuitive in the current Mastodon interface). With this new flow, you won’t have to, we do it for you.

Three tips to improve your sleep:
- Go to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual on weekdays instead of sleeping in at the weekend 🛏️
- Expose yourself to bright light in the morning as much as possible, be it outdoor or indoors light 💡☀️
- Spend at least 20 minutes in restorative activity daily: reading, nature, music, anything you want, no goals, just restore 📖🌳♫

I just did early sign up to two Monterey Car Week events (by the end of December to save on the registration). Along with GGLC members we will be taking our Lotus Elise to The Paddock on Friday Aug 14th afternoon and our Fiat 124 Spider with Fiat America to Concorso Italiano on Saturday Aug 15th. If anyone is registering a car this month and doesn’t have a discount code, DM me. #WeirdCarMastodon
