I’m putting my money on the bullet train.Larry CastelliA: I understand your point and frustration. The bullet train could take two or three decades to complete. El Camino Real should be repaved later this year.Q: As I read about more laws and regulations coming to control sideshow activity, I wonder if this is truly the best way to proceed. It ...
