- You guys. My wife's uncle is a major model train buff. He built a 2000sqft train layout over decades and now he wants to retire from the hobby and just give the whole thing away for FREE. He asked me if I knew anyone...I want to help!
- Something special is happening in Barcelona. It started last month when some parents organized a bike ride to school for just five kids. Now entire neighborhoods are joining. They call it Bicibús – or Bike Bus.

- Replying to @zachkleinThis is a ready-to-go, major exhibit for any public space. Would be perfect for children's museum. Interested? DM me. I will only pass along very serious interest, so please tell me about your org/space/ability to cover shipping and install.
- My SFPD story: My house was robbed while we were sleeping. Guy cleaned out every thing valuable from the ground floor including family heirloom. Call cops, they show up 2 hours later. Give them clear picture of guy’s face and am able to track one Apple device in real time…
- Never seen anything like this in San Francisco. Bernal right now…
