Hey @obcycler.bsky.social does it feel like they changed the stoplight timing downtown? Especially on streets going down to the waterfront like Ash. I thought I had it dialed in but seems like I'm having to stop a lot more.

And San Diego is already required to balance its budget. The whole thing is just insulting.

Also, fine to miss your flight (maybe) if you’re going to see your cousin across state. But what if you’re flying to speak at a conference or for a job interview?

One of my hangovers from COVID is not quite knowing what to do with the mundane safety warnings we see around us. Sure, wear your life jacket call 311 before you dig, and pop your mylar balloons. But also, a million Americans died.
