So in places like Phoenix they build roofs over parking lots, because it keeps cars cool. We should do the same with buildings in those places, a second (wider) roof several feet above the other roof. Separate sun-heated surfaces from the building you want to keep cool.

I've read that the Bay Lights are due to return to the Bay Brudge this year. I hepe this updated installation is built for longevity, so that it can become a standard feature of the bridge. Also, the western span needs its own lights, and maybe some nice red ones on the Golden Gate...

The Latino protesters waving the Mexican flag in protests in LA are more justified – and frankly more American – than those who carried confederate traitor flags into Congress on Jan 6th.
