@SFMTA_Muni ParkMobile's AI doesn't allow for refunds if you type in the wrong zone number and I've been two hours waiting for a customer agent to join. At least offer a cancellation option to correct my mistake? I paid for a 5 hour $12 session. Frustrating.

Or how do I tell your meter checkers to see I paid for a zone across the street. Also annoying that the even and odd side of a block are different numbers, like why

Met Council members oversee Twin Cities transit, but rarely ride it

In the last year, just half of those appointed to the Metropolitan Council have taken advantage of the free Metro Transit rides that come with their job.

It's been a little time since I gave an update on our quest to try to build a better 5-over-1, so here are some notes!

I walked 26 miles from Hacker Way to Apple Park – it took 9 hours. Here’s my Silicon Valley architectural and street scene photo journal. Pristine shorelines, Eichlers galore, endless office parks, and Teslas in every driveway. The Valley is stronger than ever. 1/
