The BART train station in Millbrae, CA (15 miles south of SF) is BART's latest, and best station. Spacious, airy, and great lines of sight for wayfinding.

Kumho 710

The new Kumho 710 looks to be a very competitive autocross tire.
No more tread squirm, and no need to sacrifice wear by shaving the
tread away. Stylish, too -- looks like a Formula One slick, back
when Formula One ran on slicks.

Background: this is a DOT approved (or approvable, soon to be approved)
tire intended for competition use. Very grippy, very light. But not
durable, and might be scary in rain.

Thanks to Kumho for sponsoring SCCA Autocross.

Crazy California, situation normal

San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau spokeswoman Laurie Armstrong:
"People love California because it is a crazy place. Why would you want
to visit someplace normal ?

Indeed, why live in a normal place ?

Quoted from LA Times: 2003 August 07
'California's Crazy Quilt of Politics Frays - Some have long viewed the state as a
bit nuts. The recall campaign may seal the perception'

Now, to support Arnold or Larry ? or
Joe Guzzardi,
Angelyne: Quote: We've had Gray. We've had Brown. Now it's time for some blond and pink.,
Todd Richard "The Bumhunter" Lewis, or
Mary "Mary Carey" Cook (Occupation: Adult film actress).

QuickMaps

QuickMap has some excellent maps.

For example, mouse over the 'full system/frequent/very frequent'
buttons on this London map.

With a good map, you can ask and easily and accurately answer,
Where can I go from here ?
To go there, where can I start from ?

For a complex system such as the London Underground,
Which line should I take ?
Where should I transfer ?
