This new law enforcement sobering center marks a fundamental change in San Francisco: If you do drugs on our streets, we will arrest you. And with this new resource, we will give you a real chance to enter recovery.

Dump Here 61. This guy manifested it. Unbelievable.

Why move to Texas when you can just move to the Eastside? Long this trend if Seattle stays its current course.

There is nothing worse than working with USPS to get mailbox locks ordered and installed. Complete brain damage. A terribly run organization.

The Navy recently gave a presentation on improving outcomes and ROI This slide applies to any business operation and can be used achieve larger outcomes and lower friction

Just asked ChatGPT to review a title report and recording docs. Mind blown. Unprompted, it offered a critical path checklist and a title objection letter at the end.
