Why did the librarian get kicked off the plane?
​Because it was overbooked.
Kids have been bugging Wife & I to go take a ride in a Waymo.

Think we’re gonna wait, until they get the red light
thing figured out . . . . . . . .
Don’t go even after the traffic light problems are fixed. These cars are always being sent for biohazardous clean up because of the bodily fluids, bodily solids, and bodily semi-solids being left behind in the cars.
Almost as bad as a hotel or motel.
According to the Waymo site there is no service in the East Bay which is funny because they sure tested a lot here in Martinez.
Hi. Anyone know what’s going on on Roseland Drive? At least 4 fire engines, police cars and a drone overhead.
Came in as a house fire. It was a fence, a tree and
then it spread to propane tanks.

Where is a good place close to Concord to take my 5 year old that has a decent beach. I know bay beaches are kinda dirty but I mean a shoreline that has a decent area to run around. The Martinez shoreline by the marina is nice but not easy to get to the shore even at low tide.
Also, has anyone checked out the newly reopened Springwood Swim Club on Concord Blvd? They have signs saying they’re open but they only have an instagram but I’m not on social media.
Not close, but I always enjoyed Stinson Beach.
Yes, it’s a bit of a drive, and there’s a dog that will run up and snatch the sandwich out of your daughter’s hand, but it’s a nice place. And the dog-owners were so apologetic! Highly recommend.
If you feel like taking a little drive, there’s Shadow Cliffs in Pleasanton.
It’s a nice lake for swimming and fishing, and you can rent a row boat,
paddle boat, or a kayak and take the little kid out on the lake. Just follow
Stanley Blvd about a mile outside of downtown Pleasanton. Another
nice lake is Lake Temescal in the Oakland hills just outside the Caldecott
Tunnel near Highway 24 and Highway 13. They have paddle boats and
canoes for rent. Both lakes have trout and catfish.
No sharks or sneaker waves there either.
A big two thumbs down to Netflix for ruining the MLB opening day experience with their experiment in televising a game. Opening day should begin on the first Tuesday of April and shouldn’t have games spaced out to where no one plays either on Saturday or Sunday. Both Netflix and Apple should leave the game and sports in general alone and stick to movies or music in regards to entertainment.
After years of observation at work,
