Yes on Proposition H -- October 27, 2026

strongermuniforall.com

I don't live in The City anymore, but public transit in San Francisco is threatened by big deficits. If I did live in San Francisco, I would vote Yes on H.

"San Francisco’s public transit system is facing a once-in-a-generation funding crisis. After years of pandemic disruption and lost revenue, Muni is confronting a $307 million annual deficit—a shortfall so large it rivals the combined budgets of the city’s parks and library systems.

"City leaders are cutting waste to reduce the deficit by eliminating hundreds of unnecessary management positions and vacant positions. But without a stable, dedicated funding source, Muni service will be severely cut, resulting in up to 20 bus routes canceled and doubled wait times. These cuts will reverse our city’s economic recovery, increase traffic, and make daily life harder for working families.

"San Francisco already faces the third-worst traffic congestion of any U.S. city. Major Muni cuts would push more people into cars, worsening gridlock, commute times, and street safety for transit riders, motorists, and cyclists alike.

"The Stronger Muni for All campaign keeps Muni safe, reliable, and affordable. It ensures single family residences pay the least while larger homes and commercial buildings pay more."

Halloween is coming.

I took the photo on 20-September-2026. I enhanced it with AI (ChatGPT).

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.

Yes on 40 -- October 13, 2026

 

Rogan List

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.
