Today California Governor Jerry Brown vetoed a budget plan that in large part he put together. The original plan had called for spending cuts in the budget and a package of tax increases that would have been put up for a vote for all Californians to decide on. Republicans in the state assembly managed to block the statewide popular vote on the tax increases leaving only the tax cuts in the budget which alone did not provide a balanced and sustainable budget. I guess the Republicans think the people should not be allowed to decide to increase their own taxes to fix a massive budget problem. Bring on the bickering. Source SFGate. Comment
It is a fact of law that it is legal for both men and women to wander around any part of the State of New York without a top of any kind, provided they are not doing so for commercial gain. Yesterday the Village Voice reported (SFW) on a freedom loving lady minding her own business in the Bowery. Good for you freedom lady!

It’s just like getting the fetus to run a marathon while in the womb, it gets a great workout and learns to live on less oxygen. It’s exactly like practicing for a marathon at high altitudes. You just need to accept this scientific breakthrough from a reality show “star” on the UK version of Teen Mom, BBC3’s Misbehaving Mums To Be. SF Gate. Comment.
A group of adventure seekers armed with trowels is trying to raise money to travel to Tunisia to restore the buildings used for Luke Skywalker’s family home.

NASCAR driver Kyle Busch was ticked going 128 mph in a 45 mph zone and claimed to be very sorry. He was testing out a new sports car and needed to know if it could jump a river while being chased by Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane. The bigger crime was that he thought buying a yellow Lexus was a good idea. SFGate

It is a mathematical fact that the shortest average wait time is to have a single queue with multiple servers. Yet there are so many institutions that insist on multiple queues with multiple servers. There is some psychology behind this though.
Multiple queues gives people the impression of a shorter queues since each queue may only have a few people in it. Would you rather wait in line with 100 people or with 10 people? It’s a trick question because you didn’t take into account the number of service points for each queue. Walt Disney figured this out long ago. But let’s take a look at the two most common multiple queue scenarios the average person faces and how to pick the right queue for those times when you aren’t dealing with someone as smart as Mr. Disney.
