As I mentioned on March 31, I got my first speeding ticket in 5 years (a CVC 22350). Since then, I’ve been researching ways to fight it. Turns out that yesterday I didn’t even have to go to “court,” which actually turned out to be some guy at a window who tried to convince me […]

If only I had my own Koenigsegg, ridiculous amounts of money, and were living the rockstar lifestyle, I, too, would be competing in this year’s Gumball 3000 Rally from San Francisco to Miami, which got off to a rocky start yesterday: Cops put brakes on high rollers / Arrests, tickets mark start of notorious coast-to-coast […]

Bechtel to rebuild Iraq / RECONSTRUCTION: Politically connected S.F. firm wins bid The headline pretty much says it all.
