Slow news day?

Never understood why they let cars there. Delivery trucks, sure.

It was way too narrow for passenger cars and there’s a parallel road right next door.

The photo must be around 8 years old.

Fun fact: on the top left corner is a partial segment of the old Bay Bridge that was damaged during the Loma Prieta 1989 earthquake. They built a whole new span (the white section next to it). To get rid of the old concrete underwater pylons, they blew them all up underwater. Here’s a video of the implosion of the last two:

It all seems so nostalgic and free-spirited now. Was way before my time, but I’ve been to a few of those beaches. So many of them are so conventional now. Guessing people are way more uptight, but maybe also cognizant of the risks of skin cancer.

Strawberry.

Just tried it.

Yup, does what the post says, plus more.

Are they also required to be… green?

Tried making spicy pancakes. Would NOT recommend.
