Ever thought to yourself, "boy, that was stupid of him -- think of the long-term effects"? This is what I like to call cultural myopia. Some people just have no sense of long-range planning and are, as such, myopic decision-makers. Read on for tales of some nearsighted folk.

Poor Planning in Traffic Redirection, Part I. The freeway expansion that is highly likely to make local traffic worse. |
Interchanges should have more

Now, that was stoopid! What kinds of technological
innovations do you think are just plain dumb? Share your rants with fellow
techies.

What do you like or dislike about living here in the hotbed
of high-tech? Share your praises of, and complaints about, the area. |
Palo Alto Joe's, a Culinary Gem.
One of my favorite Italian restaurants!
A SAD NOTE: as of Dec 2001, Palo Alto Joe's had closed. The sign on the door

What do you mean, I need a car?
Public transportation woes in the Bay Area. |

Don't pencil me in -- commit!
Woes of attempting to get together with friends here. Or former
friends. |

If you say yes... SHOW UP!!!
Where has etiquette gone, in our society? Why do people RSVP for an event,
then NOT SHOW UP??? |

This is what started it all... ranting about local drivers
and the obvious drop in quality. Read the ideas that inspired The Left Lane.

|
Slowness in the Left Lane. I'm
wondering what they teach in Drivers' Ed these days as the use for the left
lane. |

In contrast to the satire above, some serious lessons I've
learned from life. |
