Lucas (1986), Say Anything (1989), My Bloody Valentine (1981): The first film has socially-retarded Corey Haim falling head over heels in love with a sensitive football player, Charlie Sheen, or something like that; Cameron Crowe's tale of teenage love and angst has John Cusack causing egregious noise pollution when he holds up a ghettoblaster pumping out a Peter Gabriel ballad; and the final film has a murderer in a small coal mining town killing......

Bike to Work Day in San Francisco is ongoing. Pictured is the ride of San Francisco Bicycle Coalition Program Director Andy "The Boss" Thornley, complete with large flag just for today. (Yes, that's the official City and County flag. It's hard to read the three words underneath the bird, but we think they spell out "Pontiac Trans Am".) Looks like Andy's inside City Hall right now pressing his case for cycling in the City.......

Wow, it's a gorgeous day today, the kind of day that makes us appreciate leaving the freezing Midwest for consistency of the Bay Area. That climatic consistency, we assume, is one of the reasons bicycle culture is so very strong in San Francisco. Take part in this cultural force at tonight's Winterfest 2005, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition's 10th Annual benefit party "with live and silent auctions, great deals on gear, art, gift certificates,......
