Tina Nietos Need For Speed

CHP pops her three times and every time “professional courtesy” lets her go.

In the first dash cam video, the CHP officer pulls over Nieto after he said she passed him at a speed of 95 miles per hour.

“You were in and out of traffic [inaudible] to about 90 okay,” said the officer in the video. “No worries, we’re just, obviously going to give you a warning but ah, just make sure you slow down a little bit and just be a little more cognizant.”

The officer tells the sheriff to drive safely before walking back to his vehicle.

In this incident, video shows the officer telling Sheriff Nieto he was pulling her over for her speed of around 95 miles per hour and said she passed another CHP vehicle traveling at 92 miles per hour.

CHP Officer: Were you running code 3?

Nieto: They haven’t upgraded my vehicle yet.

CHP Officer: Alright, so I’m not going to issue you a citation. This is the second time I stopped you for your speed. Umm, I don’t know what it’s going to take to slow down but… Next time if you’re obviously speeding and you’re not going to an emergency, it’s going to be a little different, okay?

The officer emphasized to Nieto he wanted to make sure she and everyone else on the road was able to get where they needed to be safely before he walked back to his patrol car.

Lake El Estero To Provide Drinking Water

Ew. I guess if treated sewage is good enough for the tourists, water loaded with green duck poop is good enough too.El Estero Gulp

A project is underway to divert excess water from Monterey’s El Estero Lake and add it to the city’s restricted water supply.

The landmark is located on Del Monte Avenue and is hard to miss for anyone driving into town as people paddle out on the water in duck and swan-shaped boats or picnic on the grass.

Roundabouts On 68 Are A Great Idea

Right? Roundabouts, Animal Crossings, etc. Build a modern 4 lane highway from Toro Park to highway 1 and be done.

Roundabouts Woody Buzz

But Dwight Stump, who lives in Corral de Tierra, contends the new Highway 68 roundabout project will do little to speed up traffic. Stump called it “a huge waste of taxpayer money” and “a runaway train” that won’t do much to improve commute times.

“The roundabouts are going to decrease afternoon commutes by about five minutes,” Stump told The Pine Cone. “They’re taking a 36-minute commute and decreasing it to 31 minutes, and just for two hours a day.”

Are You Ready To Fight Godzilla El Nino?

El Nino

Since 1951, there have been 26 El Niño events. Of those, 11 have been weak, 7 moderate, 5 strong and 3 very strong. Overall during all of them, rainfall in Southern California averaged 126% of normal. In the Bay Area it was 109% of normal.

During two of the three very strong El Niños, the winters of 1982-83 and 1997-98 were among the wettest in recorded California history, with massive Sierra Nevada snowpacks and major flooding.

The third, in 2015-16, was something of a bust. Hyped as a “Godzilla El Niño,” that event did see big winter storms, but they ended up hitting Oregon and Washington, dashing hopes of breaking a California drought, which didn’t end until big storms finally arrived in 2017.

The Feminist Street Initiative aims to rename streets across the country after historic women. It comes after the fifth anniversary of the nationwide Women’s March and in the days before the start of Women’s History Month in March. The Women’s March Foundation is campaigning for streets to be named after Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Gloria Steinem and Maya Angelou, among others.
