I don't drive often. Today I was driving in the Bay Area, noticed when near a school, the speed limit goes down to 25. Speed bumps. Lights flash if you're going too fast. We protect children from licensed drivers. I don't feel my liberties have been infringed. Common sense.#

I am pleased to report that Berkeley has not changed. A baseball discussion at Starbucks reveals that I hate the Yankees. I am wearing a Mets hat of course. A patron says Ah ah don't hate. How Berkeley. Baseball is about strong opinion. We hate the Yankees, I say. He says I guess you're right, we hate the Red Sox, right? I say no. Mets fans like the Red Sox. All you have to do is smile. Since then, and for the foreseeable future, the Mets really like the Red Sox. #

I'm visiting California, and it's good to be back. But it's freaking cold. Can't you guys turn on the heat or something??#
