spotted on tonight's walk

 

a couple newer vehicles that are strangely non op. The Benz wagon is an odd looking car, I've never seen one like it before

 

that roof is VERY rusted

a 4 door 66 Dart is a strange vehicle to keep in such great condition.

quite an odd truck. But the fender badge says 454

this is one weird collection of used up Volvos

 

very cool to see someone out there is dedicated to fixing up old European cars as a side gig

2 Fiat 500s on the far side

and an MG on this side

Seen on tonight's walk, the Lexus has a flat tire, and registration that expired 7 years ago. Must have a smog problem... why hang onto a car that you won't register or fix?

seen yesterday when driving to lunch and spotted tonight on the walk

Interesting Honda I'm not familiar with. A Civic hatchback, a bit bigger than a CRX 

in season 2 of One Piece... one of the new characters rides a 3 wheeler, just like those Hondas in the 80s, but bigger

 

seen on the way to grabbing a sammich for lunch yesterday, a Buick at the intersection and a semi that broke down in the middle of the 10 lane Mira Mesa blvd

Seen on the way home yesterday night... while stuck in traffic. Just how ugly must Mercedes make their spare tire? And why would anyone BLOCK bikers from splitting lanes?

Not much getting posted tonight, I didn't get out walking, as I made a toe blister on last nights walk, and instead, I've been formatting banners all night. Here are a couple photos that didn't have the right wide and short shape for a banner

New rules heavily restrict the types of bikes Caltrain users can bring on board, and baby seats are now no longer allowed

Caltrain will start banning cargo bikes and any bike that doesn't conform to the railroad's required dimensions.

"Caltrain’s bike cars are designed to carry 36 bikes safely and efficiently (four bikes per rack)," states the Caltrain bike rules page. "Oversized bikes are not allowed onboard to maximize the number of riders with bikes on board."

"While crowded bike trains have been an issue as Caltrain has increased its ridership, the core problem is that they haven't allotted enough space on their updated fleet of trains to accommodate an appropriate volume of people riding bikes," wrote the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition's Christopher White.

"An outright ban on family bikes is too extreme. While commute period trains can get crowded, mid-day and weekend trains are not," wrote Shirley Johnson, who helped found the advocacy group BIKES ONBoard.

Southwest Airlines flight 2094 left Nashville for South Florida when it had to divert because a passenger had set a timer on his phone so that he could pray for Ramadan. No one tells Muslims to dial it down on airlines in the USA?

interesting situation, 3 Riverside Police Department officers were given 100% VA disability, went to work for the police dept, and got diabled plates on their cars....

The Riverside Police Department is planning to fire three officers because they have disabled veteran license plates on their personal cars. 

The officers have filed a discrimination lawsuit against the department. 

 The three officers are military veterans, all with a 100% disability rating from the VA. The department is alleging they made false claims about their physical limitations to get those plates. 

Their attorney says that's not true.
