Is it like seatbelt laws when they first went into effect? You couldn't be pulled over just for not having your belt on, but if you got pulled over for (say) speeding they could tack on a fine for the belt.

Lots of SF has simply not recovered from the pandemic, many shuttered businesses. So bear that in mind. Japantown is near Hayes Valley and Civic Center. If we were younger and dogless and interested in apartment renting we probably would've wanted to live near there. So many excellent restaurants. P...

I took my date to Red Lobster on senior prom night. That is probably the last time I've been to Red Lobster. Mrs Tif likes Chili's for some reason, but we haven't been to one in probably 5 or 6 years. I used to work near both an Olive Garden and an Outback, so those were common 'workplace celebratio...

Roger Corman, Giant of Independent Filmmaking, Dies at 98

The Captain Jack intro is pure perfection.
That movie punched so far above its weight. From an Oscar nominated pirate to an iconic score written sort of by accident. It's just a great ride.
