"Do you know why I pulled you over?" will be illegal in California from January 1, 2024. Now police have to tell you why they pulled you over.

The idea is to stop pre-textual traffic stops, in which an officer pulls over a driver, usually Latino or African-American, intending to find a reason to search their vehicle for contraband.

Research shows that pre-textual traffic stops are a racist practice that nets very little contraband. #acab

Two more hours to go. I’ve made back my fee, so I’ve reached my goal for today. I’ve also learned a lot. I’ll share my notes in a blog post next week. Here’s my table. #Cupertino #siliconvalley #fleamarket #papercraft

Eek, I have ants in the kitchen! 😱🐜

Anybody have any recommendations for pet-safe ant bait? Idunna is very likely to eat the ants if she comes across any.

Hm, $100 for gutter cleaning seems kind of steep. Particularly for gutters as uncomplicated as mine. 🤔

Hazmat evacuation in San Pablo today could last up to 24 hours.

Clean-up at the home of an ex-chemist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, called 911 when they discovered numerous chemicals stored haphazardly in a shed.

Bomb squad took one look and ordered evac for 6 blocks. They will transport the chemicals out of the residential area and safely dispose of them. #BayArea #EastBay #hazmat

Not having a great day. 🤢 Usually the first dose of loperamide does the trick. Not so today. It's going to be a quiet day.

That’s a relief! I’m going to retest Sunday morning to be sure. Does anybody have instructions for doing a throat swab? This is just following the instructions in the kit for nasal swabs. #covidtest

Good news: First mountain lion to use the new wildlife tunnel under Hwy 17 at the Laurel Curve has been caught on video.

It took ten months from completion of the tunnel in January, but at least one big cat has figured it out. The first bobcat OTOH was seen using the tunnel within 15 minutes of mounting the cameras.

Lots of other wildlife, from coyotes to squirrels, have been using the underpass to avoid traffic on the busy #Hwy17.

Help me put this card in the right category on #Etsy: On what occasion would you send a card with the greeting "Good things will find you."? Bereavement, Thank you, Graduation, Something else?

#Poll in first comment.

I tried watercoloring a bit but after about an hour my eyes were tired. Now I'm wearing the enormous sunglasses the doctor gave me. I think I'm done with cardmaking for today.

The back of my drip hand is swollen and tender. Doctor Google says that's not serious and will go away in a couple of days.

I’m starting to wonder if there was something wrong with the chicken I bought on Wednesday. These #ibs attacks usually don’t last this long or make me this weak and nauseous. 🤢

My alarm didn’t go off. 😣 No shower 🚿 for me. But I’m at Stanford for my 8.15 appointment. Going to spend the next two hours here. Maybe more.

Remember the $1.5 million meth lab house in San Jose? The Mercury has some more detail on it.

It was the home of Peter Karasev, who is awaiting trial for two bombings. He made and stock piled bombs in the home, in addition to meth.

Prospective buyers can't see the inside until Santa Clara County Health department gives permission, which they won't do until it's been professionally decontaminated.

I have uploaded my first ever #YouTube video. It took forever.

It won't go live until Sunday. It's a ten-minute video about how I made this card featuring California #quail. I'll share the link here once it's live.

Every time I vacuum with my new machine, my air filtration system goes nuts. It didn't exactly like when I vacuumed with the old one, but it didn't have conniption fits.

I'm starting to think that I should have spent more money when my old vacuum died. 🤔

I think I'll buy some new filters for it to begin with. This is the one I bought. https://amzn.to/4cLnx16
