Update on graffiti at Eaton Canyon
http://www.altadenablog.com/2009/...-on-graffiti-at-eaton-canyon.html
"While the park's area was cleaned up (i.e. painted over) fairly quickly, the National Forest Service land apparently still has tagging, and the Eaton Park staff have no jurisdiction over it.
In addition, the complaints about the graffiti, and phone calls seeking information and offering help, have made it difficult for the budget-squeezed Eaton Park staff to do the other jobs they're supposed to do"

Yahoo Q: I live in the San Fernando Valley and I have no idea where there would be a place to find gold. I've heard that the San Gabriel mountains have gold in them but I do not know what part to go to. If you know of any places to find gold, please tell me. I am not going to share it with anybody but myself. Thank you, best answer gets 10pts.

Pretty stupid regarding that ticket the biker got. Not surprised. I love how he asked the officer, "How do you sleep at night?"
Guess I'll go slow unless there's snow on the road. Fly through there in the winter. "You're going too fast!" Uh... no. Too fast = you can't handle it. CANNOT stand how righteous people seem when they say someone is going too fast. Good Christ people, lay the f*ck off.
Ducati Data System...I love it! I think I'll leave my gps plugged into my car when in revenue enhancement areas
"My DDA came in handy this week. I was pulled over for speeding (which I wasn't) by the Military police( I was on base). They claimed I was speeding 45 in a 35 and I knew I wasn't becaue I was in 3rd gear cruising...I asked them how they determined my speed and they said that they got me with their radar gun.. I told them they needed to call thes hift supervisor and have him come so I can prove them wrong. When he arrived they explained what was going on and he seemed upset at me. He asked why I requested him since I was going to get the ticket anyway. I explained I can prove his people wrong..he laughed and asked how? I asked to pul out my computer.. He looked puzzeld and said ok.. I pulled it out turned it on and pulled out my DDA..he was realy confused now and he was asking what that was...I explained that it was a data logger and would tell me what speed I was at at the time they "gunned me" I got it all up and showed him everything...At the time they claimed they gunned me, the DDA claimed I was in 2nd gear doing 24mph.... and that my top speed( from the time I got on to the base) was a max of 33mph....He was thoroughly impressed and I got out of my ticket." _________________ Peace, bro'

From that article California Legislators Prepare to Unleash Speed Traps in Pasadena."
Quote:
With a tightening budget, Pasadena officials hope to be the first jurisdiction to permit police officers to wield radar guns on roads with radically lowered speed limits. According to the Senate's own analysis, Pasadena's primary purpose is increasing the number of traffic tickets issued, not safety.
"When asked if there were a safety issue associated with speed on these streets, the city of Pasadena was not able to provide evidence that there was a higher collision rate, or any other type of incident that would indicate a safety problem," the Senate Transportation Committee's bill analysis explained. "Posting a lower speed limit, however, is not likely to slow traffic down. The 85th percentile has long been used as the standard for setting speed limits because experience has shown that the majority of people drive at a speed that feels safe for the conditions. If the conditions do not change on the roadway, drivers will continue to drive at their current speed. Because this bill allows for radar enforcement on segments that were not justified on the grounds of an engineering and traffic survey, this situation will likely cause more motorists to be cited for speeding."
I can't believe people aren't up in arms about this! These criminal bastards are robbing us! Just like how some cities have reduced the yellow signal time on red light camera controlled intersections to get more tickets!!
And people wonder why I hate governments so much.
Btw, I have a GPS data logger and now I'm thinking I ought to have that thing with me in my car at all times.
