The street sign at the end makes me think it is Gardner. White circle and red sign. Not having much luck finding Stevens Rd/St/Ln/Dr/?? or Essex Plaza in that town though.

The hard part in larger projects is understanding what would be accepted. In Firefox we saw the occasional contribution that was by a skilled coder but added a feature that UX and/or Product did make time to evaluate or prioritize. These PRs often died because of lack of interest.

There is some value in suggesting code janitorial contributions especially in larger projects. Rare for them to be controversial and they are often easy to review.

Last year I paddled the Blackstone River with a GoPro so I could create Mapillary streetview imagery of the river for the Blackstone River Watershed Collaborative. I just found out today that a PhD student used my data for their project about longitudinal connectivity in aquatic ecosystems.

Now to the hardware store and then grocery store which was what I was about to do when I discovered the leaking sink.

Kevin Brosnan @kevinbrosnan.com · 08/09/2026
Hal fixing a lightbulb kind of day. Go to get a fresh bath towel. Damp because the sink is leaking. Go get some tools. Flashlight is really weak. Check with multimeter, <1v. Grab the last 4 AAAs. Put AAAs on the shopping list. Go back to tear apart the faucet. Looks like a crushed o-ring.
Two o-rings that are crushed.

I did both. The MTB is all short bursty stuff. I think some of the areas we rode are now equestrian only. If we wanted to make a day of it we would head down to Arcadia Wildlife Refuge. I started ridding a lot more road when Bruce was doing the Blackstone paceline and the Brown Cycling rides.

Update from @trimet.org today: Without additional revenue, TriMet's budget deficit will ultimately force the agency to cut in excess of 33% of its total service by 2030 or 2031. This is what a 31% service could look like:
Eliminating 30 of 79 bus lines (38% of bus lines).
Ending weekend service on many bus lines.
Ending service on many bus lines after 9pm.
Shutting down WES Commuter rail system.
MAX frequency goes from 15 mins to 20 mins (3 trains per hour vs 4)
Bus frequent services goes from 15 mins to 17.5 mins.

ahahaha the Controller's report on wrecking Sunset Dunes came in at $9.8M in capital costs plus $500K-$1.9M every year to maintain the road would be an unhinged use of money
RE: Proposition G – Allowing Private Vehicles on the Great Highway in Sunset Dunes Park
Dear Mr. Arntz,
Should the proposed Ordinance be approved by the voters and the roadway is open to private
vehicles, in my opinion, it would significantly increase the cost of government by approximately
$9.8 million in one-time capital costs and by approximately $500,000 to $1.9 million annually. The
cost of the proposed Ordinance, should it be approved by the voters, is dependent on decisions
that the Mayor and Board of Supervisors make through the budget process and operational
decisions made by departments, as an ordinance cannot bind future Mayors and Boards of
Supervisors to provide funding for this or any other purpose.

The Coast Starlight like most long distance trains have heavily padded schedules because freight owns the tracks. There is only one exception and that is the NE Corridor where Amtrak owns the rail. In a few other spots there is state or city owned rail. SF<>SJ and Chicago are the big ones.

The Amtrak Empire Builder from Chicago to Seattle is 5h20m late. Likely due to the forest fires that have been surrounding Spokane where it recently departed. It is the second most delayed train in North America. Award goes to Via Rail for Canadian service to Toronto at 8h20m late.

That was not too hard. 10 Lucky St. San Francisco. It has not changed one bit in 80 some years.
Google street view showing the same street in 2025 the Luis was asking about. The street view is unchanged structurally. On the right are 4 apartments with square bay windows on the second floor just like in the 1938 photo. On the left there is a 3 story apartment with a back stair with a metal mesh door opening onto the street. Then a fenced off plot, a garage and a set of 2 story apartments with stairs up to the second floor that are parallel to the street. There is gingerbreading at the roof line. This matches the 1938 photo. The horizon of Bernal Heights also matches the older photo.

A local Portland, OR resident built www.trafficmonitor.ai and used it to evaluate traffic patterns for a critical link through a private cemetery. It showed that motor vehicles are the serious speeders. There are longstanding concerns about people cycling going fast and not respecting the cemetery.
