It's hard to believe that Krishnamurti made Ojai his home and received visits from the Huxleys and other illuminati while there.
We in San Diego are also watching the Los Angeles ordinance creating well defined civil penalties for motorists who deliberately harass cyclists because of their status as cyclists. Awards start at $1,000. If property or bodily damage occurs as a result the award is double the cost of the damage.
I could have used it to recover $1,000 from the 59 year old mentally challenged paper boy who attacked me with a pickup truck last July when his elderly mommy failed to keep him on a short enough leash. Police refused to make an arrest because they didn't witness what they called a traffic infraction, even though two neighbors saw the whole thing and called 911. As a result I was unable to obtain a permanent restraining order and the perp still hangs out in front of my house with his teenage son and intimidates my wife when I'm not home.
