This NHK report reminds me that we go out for Japanese food a few times a week there. There are so many choices even people in LA or NYC can only dream of https://youtu.be/DbFNPAB8tcg?si=1b9vtNxollmnu7SN09 Apr 2026 16:21 +0000at://did:plc:443hyaarcllvmrv52wk7dvb5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj37oc32c224https://bsky.app/profile/oranv.com/post/3mj32upnzqs24A chocolate bunny appears after Easter09 Apr 2026 14:55 +0000at://did:plc:443hyaarcllvmrv52wk7dvb5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mj32upnzqs24https://bsky.app/profile/oranv.com/post/3miz4lqb43c2eExpanding bike share in Santa Barbara is awesome news but this news release and survey fails at the communicating the most important thing… where the heck are you putting the 25 new stations!?

Service reductions proposal for this year is only the beginning if deficits continue. Absurd case of losing federal operating funds because of population growth.
