@KCBSNews reporter Holly Quan: early signs garbage truck/cyclist both on 16th St. Truck made R turn onto S Van Ness; bike went straight.
Deliver me three Quad Stackers stat!
That’s what you’ll be saying soon enough, once BK Delivers gets going.
MEAT CHEESE BACON REPEAT. We really knew how to live back in the aughts:

Mind you, Burger King has enough trouble in the notoriously high cost 415 without worrying about delivery, but read the news and turn the pages, below. (Looks like Oakland’s going to beat us, once again.)
Wonder if BK’ll accept EBT Electronic Benefit Transfer food stamps as payment the way some San Francisco Burgers King do already, you know, gladly.
Anyway:

First, let’s review so-called BikeLaw:
“Pedestrians Always Have the Right of Way.”
Now take a look at what happened to Andrew Scal, the latest San Francisco pedestrian to get clobbered by a bike on Market Street:
“What It Looks Like to Get Hit By A Bike“
See? The poor guy had the right of way (per the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, anyway) and yet he got hit by a cyclist.
Oh well…
Hey, now let’s see what the SFBC has to say about speeding cyclist Chris Bucchere:
This is it, all of it, apparently.
(Like Voldemort, they dare not speak his name?)
I guess taxpayer-funded lobbying groups such as the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition don’t want to discuss off-message topics…
Oh well.
This is the face of MUNI Fraud.
North Face Girl didn’t pay her $2 fare, looks like.
So a crew of three SFMTA Inspectors had to take her down, for tout le monde to see.
See?

Not really.
But what happens when a cable car driver steals a six dollar fare, like something that happens all the time every day?
Do MUNI Inspectors ever hand out citations for that?
I don’t know.
As seen from Van Ness:

You’d never see this back in the day, I’ll tell you. Back then, you’d never see this kind of sign at a fast food place.
Back then, the signs you’d see on this topic always used to say, “NOT ACCEPTING EBT” and the like.
Like at the Real Foods in Cow Hollow, for instance.
But things are changing…
Sitting around, waiting for a MUNI worthy of how much gets spent on it:

[UPDATE: According to somebody who ought to know, this is not what a Lt. Gov. motorcade looks like these days. So, my bad.]
I don’t know, why are the lights on on these CHP prowlers?
To make the people inside feel good?
Looks that way.
I mean, this is the entire motorcade, so it’s not like cross-traffic is being stopped or anything.
I mean, don’t you want to be kind of low profile? Oh, I see, you feel that not enough people pay attention to
you, so everybody stare at me while I ride to the Starbucks?
OK fine:

IMO, our California Highway Patrol shouldn’t always do what the Lt. Gov VIPs want.
IMO.
But here’s why it’s generally in the interest of the CHP to patronize electeds.
Oh well.
(Oh, and next time you roll through town, CHP, in addition to the flashing lights, you should honk your horns and activate your sirens, like every minute. Hurray!)
Hey man, nice shot.

Viewing notes:
Hey, can you guess which street in San Francisco was remade to be a firebreak, you know, around 1906? Sure you can. Just look at the photo. You see, it, unlike the useless, quarter-mile long, Octavia Boulevard “Livable Streets” experiment, is wide for a reason.
Omni-Vision – This referred to the rear windows on some Cessna singles, starting with the 182 and 210 in 1962, the 172 in 1963 and the 150 in 1964. The term was intended to make the pilot feel visibility was improved on the notably poor-visibility Cessna line. The introduction of the rear window caused in most models a loss of cruise speed due to the extra drag, while not adding any useful visibility
Oh, c’mon, man, is this why tourists ask me where El Camino Real is?
Are you seriously, Google?
Click to expand
They are seriously and it’s all legal. Check it:
California Streets and Highways Code Section 635(b): State highway routes embracing portions of Routes 280, 82, 238, 101, 5, 72, 12, 37, 121, 87, 162, 185, 92, and 123 and connecting city streets and county roads thereto, and extending in a continuous route from Sonoma southerly to the international border and near the route historically known as El Camino Real shall be known and designated as “El Camino Real.”
So basically, everything that could possibly considered ECR is ECR – that’s what the solons of Sacramento have determined.
News to me.
You’ve won this one, Google.
