Crash at the Corner
April 10, 2011Echoing through the neighborhood this afternoon, the sound of a serious car accident. As usual, it was at Lincoln & Malone:

No one was hurt seriously except the passenger sitting in the right car. She seemed to be in a state of shock and eventually left the scene on a stretcher.
The little pedestrian with the scooter was also hurt, but I don’t know how that happened.
This intersection seems to be a more dangerous than most. Why is that?

Tokyo Chris
March 17, 2011Our friends have a son living in Japan. Skype allows them to maintain continuous contact with him, and report that he is doing fine:

March 1, 2011I like climbing …

Botts’ Dots
February 14, 2011Street department recently added 32 (why does it say 23?) to mark the lanes and provide tactile feedback to drivers:
Named after Elbert Botts, a Caltrans engineer, botts’ dots are round nonreflective raised pavement markers, made of ceramic or plastic and fastened to the road with epoxy.

Grocery Cart Etiquette
February 2, 2011This afternoon in Safeway’s parking lot, a young lady loaded groceries into her car, left her grocery cart right behind my car, then drove away. I don’t know what to make of this:
I ran up with my camera. She must have seen the flash and heard me calling after her, but she just ignored me.
