Headlines in the news: Obama thinks people in Pennsylvania are bitter about their economic prospects and that's why they cling to religion and guns. This leaked out into the media and now his competitors are milking his indiscretion for all it's worth. This is one of the most exciting races for the US Presidency I've ever experienced!

1. Dedicated bicycle lanes - In Frankfurt more "normal" people bicycled everywhere. I saw old folks, teenagers, housewives, etc. Here in San Francisco, you have to be pretty brave to bike to work on the crazy streets where gigantic SUV's share the road with bicyclists. Most of the people who bicycle in the city seem like they are pros. You'd almost have to be in order to navigate the streets of San Francisco and reach your destination unscathed and with your sanity intact.
