Yes on Measure RTM -- October 25, 2026

regionaltransitmeasure.com

Please vote yes on Measure RTM (Regional Transit Measure). Public agencies transit in the counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara are threatening major service cuts because of impending deficits. The downturn in traffic because of Covid-19 and the end of Covid-19 subsidies have left them in a deep hole. 

I will vote yes on Measure RTM.

We went to the Kaiser drive through in South San Francisco and received our Pfizer booster shots and pflu shots all in one arm. There was hardly anyone there.

Public Execution -- October 15, 2026

nokings.org

Our seemingly drunken Secretary of Defense, who is so insecure that he calls himself "secretary of war," has decided that the execution by firing squad of Malik Hassan, who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, will be live streamed. This is evil and stupid. We are better than that. It may inspire more terrorist acts.

Religious leaders are appalled. Even Republicans are objecting.

Pacifica Classic Car Parade -- October 14, 2026

Pacifica had a classic car parade on Independence Day. This was my first time out of the house after leaving the hospital. I'm not good at identifying cars, but I think this is a 1951 Pontiac Chieftain. I love the color and the chrome stripe on the hood. When I was a kid, I liked spotting the hood ornaments on Pontiacs.

Proposition 40 is far from perfect, but we can tell it is already working. Billionaires are running a steady stream of commercials opposed to it. They should pay taxes.

My Italian-American mother would not like this, but I'm going to stop calling it Columbus Day and start calling it Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Sadly, she is no longer aware of what day it is.

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day to everyone.

Here the City of Oakland and former Mayor Sheng Thao acknowledge that their city, like much of the Bay Area, is built "On Occupied Ohlone Land."

Trump Putin Treason -- October 11, 2026

Our traitorous president gave his master Putin a big birthday present. Petroleum prices have exploded, the price of Diesel in particular. So TR**mp will buy millions of gallons of Diesel fuel from Russia.

Trump is ignoring sanctions imposed to punish Russia for invading Ukraine.

Trump is giving money to the country that invaded Ukraine, which also supplies help to Iran in killing out service people. 

Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that he had better not attack any more Russian refineries which produce Diesel. Ukraine went ahead and attacked more Russian refineries which produce Diesel. 

This is treason.
