Day: July 29, 2009

"Special 3-in-1 Ride: Three great neighborhoods; one noble cause. Join the Good Roads Crew as we bring smoother, safer biking to Noe Valley, Glen Park, and West Portal. Start with a coffee buzz on 24th Street – arrive early to check out the Farmers Market across the street – and then power on for a spin through the Village followed by a good long ride to our destination drinks and lunch. Along the way we’ll mark every pothole we see with spray paint – we usually get about 50 -- and report them to 311. First-timers always welcome; we’re a friendly group! Heavy rain cancels."

Agenda.

The Washington Post's Ezra Klein, whose blog is a must-read look at the political dynamics of congressional policy-making, makes an eyebrow-raising assertion in his food column today:

It's the height of summer, the stretch of endless lazy days when -- at least in the American dreamworld -- kids hunt for adventure in packs through the shimmering heat. A time when they make their own fun. A time of bicycles and improvised games and ice cream, of luxuriant boredom and the discovery it makes possible.
