living on the outskirts of the city and so the idea of the city is that people get together and they congregate and they. exchange ideas with a western city but i guess for us the russians. that kind of martha. you know something deeper about our culture we are very centralized people with some authoritarian tendencies so i wonder if that layout is ultimately going to reflection of not only our city planning but also of broader things in our culture could as we say in the paper you know number one we're not sure it matters that it's different and if it does matter we're not sure that it's as costly as it could be but if you look at the studies in america these kinds of distortions they matter they matter a lot and they have. limits are the reduced economic growth in the united states by fifty percent and so did see ability to move to cities that have the highest productivity if you can't move and you can't move to the places within those cities that afford you the opportunity to exploit your skills it stands to reason that you would be less productive whether that matters on a broade

kansas city. there is one of the category of experiences that harry truman drew upon in crafting his knowledge of book -- his political knowledge of different constituencies. those were the relationships and experiences he had prior to becoming a member of the pendergast machine. he had been a farmer, a mason, and a veteran. those three organizations, groups of individuals, or the kinds of constituencies that the pendergast machine was looking for in 1922 when they were trying to find 70 to run for the eastern -- find somebody to write for the eastern -- find somebody to run for the eastern judiciary position. he became a farmer on the farm in grandview. went there in 1906. he farmed about 106-acre farm. war broke out, the first wall or in 1917. truman farmed with his father until his father died in 1914. then he assumed management of the farm. most of the individuals in eastern jackson county -- eastern jackson county was rural. the main focus of eastern jackson county was independence. independe

essential to the city's become a growth and also the city's image this team will put more than five tonnes in the gadgets truck today anything they deem to be unsanitary. most of it will be rubbish but some of it will be people tents and the few positions filled by pleading tactical fighting. have brought about for something. like. this that. you're in a waste. that the city gives advance notice of the cleanup but not everyone gets the message today there are so many lucky ones. when you're asked them to. they like it because repeated i mean if you want to person living on the street you want to live if we sidewalk or decide to value a loss leader. but the city's focus on keeping the streets clean means further instability when you're living on them. it's also one of the main reasons elvis is tiny houses a band playing to hampering operations like this. you know waits at the suburban tent on the street. and if you're good side it's not a safe conditions to live it so we basically the city has been a determination that those should not be on the city's streets. seemed wrong. but old rules j

in 2003 the city adopted the precautionary principal as a general city policy. the principal was later identified as chapter 1 -- if you would like to sit down it's okay. >> okay. >> commissioner yee: it will be a couple of seconds. i'm sorry. the principals later in chapter 1 of the san francisco environment code, the key element of the precautionary principal states that every person has an equal right to a healthy and safe environment. it is mandated that our order, land be of a standard high enough that individuals in communities can live healthy, fulfilling and dignified lives. this precautionary principal is aligned with the intent of the resolution before us today. san francisco welcomes and encouraging emerging technologies but as a city we must ensure that the technologies provide net common good, measured in many ways in that they are safe and appropriate. a multibillion dollar global tech corporation utilizing publicly funded infrastructure it pays for it. it pays disproportionately little for replacing jobs to enrich themselves. it does not align wit

i'm writing on behalf oh the city in strong support of the city bio diversity resolution. it is a bio diversity hot spot within the city of san francisco and a member of the united nations the bio spear reserve. the trust shares the city's goals of preserving the city's diverse biological resources and partner with the city on a number of efforts in support of stewardship. the trust also recognizes there's a great urgency to address the loss of bio diversity as much of san francisco's natural remaining heritage is threatened. we will support existing bio diversity by providing a unified vision. enhancing inner agency collaboration, completing a survey of current work of bio diversity and strategies going forward to increase efforts, collaboration partnership. articulating a commitment through commission resolutions or presentations and outlining a specific frame work for the department of the environment to convene the departments on a regular lbasis to move forward. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> jake thig speaking for the local chapte

i am near mexico city, not in the city and i started my career as a banking and finance.eally committed to be one successful executive in banking. i wanted to head the world and i was doing so by my style of my lifestyle. my consumer lifestyle. and then without caring about my data i was gathering. the change in me didn't come like suddenly, i did not wake up some morning and what am i doing and i just questioned my lifestyle and something that did not make more much sense in my life was increasingly evidence to me that i was doing something wrong and also, my peers. i wasn't sustainable in a personal level so i decided to change and to pursue a master in sustainability and spain where i focused primarily on the agri food system and i strengthened my feelings that there was something that i can do. i spent five years in academia uncertain about what it could be leading me and when i returned to mexico city five years later, it seems to me that mexico city environmental issues have only increased in my absence. i personally experienced a week without water on my apartment

city. of course, we are all aware of the widening income gap and that further highlights the need to identify new revenue to mitigate the impacts of population growth and demands on our public infrastructure. this tax, according to the controller, will generate up to $35 million annually to fund city services and much needed capitol improvements. the city has been very generous and welcome private transportation companies with open arms in the effort to attract jobs and while we've been very successful at that, our tax laws have not kept pace and have not captured the value of the investments we've made in attracting these businesses. fundamentally, this is about equity. everybody has to pay their fair share and play by the same rules, including billionaire corporations that have been flying under the tax radar. in rock -- recognition, they would -- it has over stayed its welcome. it's time to right the scales and return value to the hardworking people of the city and county of san francisc

we look forward to continuing to work with our city colleagues and our city department friends and bring the experience that we have, managing properties outside of san francisco to this effort here in san francisco. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. now i'd like to call up lisa wayne, natural resources manager for rec and park. >> i'm lisa wayne with the san francisco park department. thank you for supporting and considering this resolution and i also want to extend a thanks to our colleagues at the planning and the department of the environment for all the heavy lifting they did on this as well. the san francisco rec and park department has been promoting bio diversity in open spaces by restoring and protecting nature and wildlife habitats throughout urban parks for decades. in february of 2017 the rec and park department received the support of the board of supervisors for the department's significant natural resource area management plan. this plan is a road map for the rec and park department that guides the protection of the city's natural resources and wildlife habitats

if they work in the city they should be able to live in the city.the city shouldn't be as expensive as it is. there is a time in the city and this pertains to you people on the board of supervisors where you couldn't get elected unless you had the support of organized labor. you couldn't get elected because the unions controlled the politics in the city and everything was just about union. you couldn't work in the city that you had a union contract. i feel this way. the way to cure this is to have every business in the city union. that is the only way to do it. minimum wage doesn't do it. you have to have good strong union jobs in the city. yes, that is a true fact. the unions are the backbone of the city. they built this city up. that is why a lot of people are suffering. they have to work non-union jobs. >> sir your time is up. we appreciate your time and thoughts. we have to keep moving on. mr. cramer. >> san francisco living wage coalition. god bless debbie layman. we are on the opposite aisle on this. we have been through this movie before. we

together, we will continue to make this city safer for everyone. again, i'd like to thank mayor mark farrell for his support and his leadership on this issue. we could not do this without strong leadership, and that's what it's going to take is leadership from all of us to turn the tide on these crimes and make our city safer. thank you. [applause]. >> and with that, i'd like to introduce actually one of the two people that helped create the park smart slowigan, and that's commander david lozar. >> well, i want to begin by thanking our mayor, mark farrell, and our chief david scott. a little history about park smart. back in 2014, i served as the captain of central station, paying very close attention to all the auto burglaries that are that were taking place, and as the chief has mentioned, arresting those responsible is a primary duty of ours, but what's equally or more important is prevention, the message that those that come to our city, who enjoy our city, the mer chapters and the residents and the visitors to simply keep their car empty. it w

my name is bruce and i am the city and county surveyor for the city and county of san francisco.ounty surveyor is in charge of processing all the subdivisions within the city as well as trying to do most of the field work for all the additional agencies. >> what is a survey? >> in the early development of the country, there were a lot of surveys not only provided mapping but they provided geographical information and soil samples and things like that. the sort of the seat of the pants definition is the art and science of locating lines and points on the surface of the earth. and now of course it's three dimensional so it's off the surface of the earth. >> how precise are these surveys? >> there's 25.4 millimeters in a inch and we can survey down to a couple of millimeters. we can survey less than an eighth of an inch. >> why is surveying important? >> just about everything you see out on the street has been surveyed and the curb, gutter, sidewalk, streets, the building are laid out by surveyors. san francisco has a fascinating history and virtually all of it was laid out by surve

i do prep through city clinic. you know i get my tests read here regularly and i highly recommend prep >> a lot of patients inclined to think that there's no way they could afford to pay for prep. we really encourage people to come in and talk to one of our prep navigators. we find that we can help almost everyone find a way to access prep so it's affordable for them. >> if you times we do have opponents would be on thursday morning. we have two different clinics going on at that time. when is women's health services. people can make an appointment either by calling them a dropping in or emailing us for that. we also have an hiv care clinic that happens on that morning as well also by appointment only. he was city clinic has been like home to me. i been coming here since 2011. my name iskim troy, client of city clinic. when i first learned i was hiv positive i do not know what it was. i felt my life would be just ending there but all the support they gave me and all the information i need to know was very helpful.

but there is pressure to generate some mandate to impose on cities including charter cities of which san francisco is one. a clean and simple approach would be to seek an exemption from application of the bill limited to san francisco's equivalent of historic district or historic resources. to even get to that point, it will be important for san francisco to engage with other similar departments in other cities or nonprofit affiliates to see if there is agreement among a fairly broad-based group to seek such an exemption, soo if you can agree on what it ought to cover. there is no assurance we'll get it, but the opportunity for an exemption for something like this is probably greater than realistically getting an exemption for the whole city from the bill. so, i would urge you to work with staff including the city attorney's office. seeing what you can come up with, seeing whom you should engage p with because this will abe proactive effort if you're going to do something and proactive with other organizations throughout the state. thanks very much. >> thank you, mr. webber. does any

safety, cities is where we leverage economic opportunities, cities are the true laboratories of innovationnd experimentation in pointing the way forward to future with endless possibilities. cities are the blocking backs for the state and the federal government and better understanding how changes to our population including especially demographic change affect our democracy. for our distinguished guest this is familiar territory. a few texans in modern era or ever have been closely associated with the broad conversation around urban economics and urban governance. as former four-term mayor of san antonio, first hispanic american to lead a major u.s. city and the former secretary of the u.s. department of housing and urban development. mr. cisneros has been president of national league of cities, after exiting the federal government a little more than 20 years ago he became the president of univision communication hispanic broadcast and today chairman and cofounder of city view which invest in urban real estate projects and chairman of the executive committee of cisneors, national public a

is that correct, city attorney? >> city attorney's office. yes, the amendments are nonsubstantive. >> i would like to make a motion to accept these amendments. >> these are amendments to change the dates? >> that's correct. >> thank you for your presentation. i think supervisor stephanie had a question or two on your presentation. >> given the numbers presented, have revenue streams been explored how this can be funded? >> there are currently revenue raising measures on the upballot being contemplated and discussed for november. there is no explicit measure tide to this ordinance that i am aware of. >> are we able to tie future revenue streams to legislation, county attorney? >> that would be something i would have to look into. you can't answer that question right now for you. >> from an accounting standpoint the way to do that would be to dedicate the revenue source when you authorize its creation. in the case of taxes you would create a special purpose talks and designate the purpose of that tax for this purpose or any other. it is typical

as i leave the city, i leave you with a plea to support the city's transportation system because it's great system. please pay your fare and it's okay to get a parking ticket and get your car towed. it's already. -- all right. if anybody wants my job, or know somebody who you think may want to do my job, forward my name to ed. i need time with my successor to show them where i hide the money, particularly from ed. lastly, i'd like to close by sharing a poem that summarizes my 12 years with the mta finances by an anonymous author called the cork and the whale. a brown cork fell in the path of a whale who lashed it down with his angry tail, but in spite of the blows the cork arose and floated before the whale nose. said the cork to the whale, you may slap and frown but you can't keep me down for i'm made of the stuff that is buoyant snuff -- enough to float and never drown. thank you very much. >> now you know why we put her last. i hope you understand that. thank you to the award winners and thank you for coming and for the spur board and everyone else here and have a great night. >> m

i'm sorry for those who were caught up in the city. it's a shock to all of us employees for visitors i know that i'm angry it's cowardly to do something like this. the driver a forty eight year old german citizen turned the gun on himself after killing several people and hearting dozens more reports in the german media suggest he was suffering from mental illness the mayor sounded a defiant note and said the city was grieving for talks and he told all of munster is mourning this horrible incident. our sympathy is with the relatives of those who were killed. we wish the injured a quick recovery. this alleged attack which struck us out of the blue is an attack on our city and we must now stand together more than ever to defeat the scourge of violence it. is a gospel that devotes commands i'm. so busy. they are coming together but never sniffs lingers after a deadly day that has painfully reminded this country of the many threats it faces . and i mentor is no cases in the germans days of nor dry invest fallen that's the state's interior m

an incident in the heart of the city in almost literally the heart of the city. is over law. or should i say. who it's everyone you know it's everyone everyone will feel that they are are in some sense also victims of this so given that they're what are police advising at this hour well a little earlier i spoke to a family member who lives still lives in the city of. the police are putting out. messages to stay calm stay at home avoid the area around keep out void the city center of possible because if there's a police cordon around the crime scene but it's not like that they would drive around town with loud halos or anything like that people i spoke to him and said well what everything is quite calm right now. and you know when we look at this though for a lot of germans you know a vehicle being plowed into people this is bringing up memories for them right memories of the twenty sixteen attack at the christmas market right shy plats right that's right here in berlin just the wrong christmas time just over a year ago a year and a few months ago there was this huge truck a f

and keep the city moving. so that has been part of the challenge is the lack of clarity and rules and the rationality and rules has made it different for us but we are going forward and connecting customers and making sure that we do get the services opened. >> all right. >> thank you. >> excuse me. i have been working in this area it seems like too much of my life. and it is confounding in that the relationship with pg&e. you laid out some of the timeline. during that time, the relationship has not always been sour. there have been ups and downs. my observation is that it seems as though those ups and downs are driven by corporate policy. and corporal policy changes overtime and the relationship changes overtime. and i find it unfortunate in regretable that the a parent policy at this point in time was to make life difficult in ways that are difficult or impossible to explain. and i would hope that pg&e has a long history in this city and there are a lot of constructive and good things that they do in this ci

, cities have a lot of power and cities have a lot of impact, talk about that from your perspective?> well, first of all, the kind lady over here suggested that i take this belt off of me but i have to tell you there's a story -- why i can't take it off. >> i have to talk about what this is not a man purse. >> it's not a man purse. what it is it's a medical device that was manufactured here in san antonio but i can't take it off balk it's hooked up by vacuum to my leg, this is a wound that is not any bad thing, not all the thicks that you might imagine with a wound of this size, they think it might have been a brown recluse spider bite that killed a bunch of tissue on my leg, they have unlearned the spiders. i don't know that the spiders is a trump effect, i will say -- [laughter] >> i will say henry that your story is peak c-span content. why are cities so important in this conversation at the moment, what about this moment? >> right at this moment the cities have doing better than they have in a very long time and the opportunitimental dynamic is we thought we had an urban crisis a

facilitated by city boss, abe ruth, ushering in the electric city car. the writing was on the wall. the clammer had begun for the experiment including public transit people. owned by the people and for the people. the idea of a consolidated city-owned transit system had begun traction. and in 1909, voters went to the polls and created a bond measure to create the people's railway. would become a reality three years later. on december 28, 1912, mayor sonny rolph introduced the new geary electric streetcar line and the new san francisco railway. that he said would be the nucleus that would host the city. and san francisco gave further incentive to expand the city's network. a project by way of tunnel leading into chinatown by way of north beach. in december the first streetcar was driven into the tunnel. just two years after its berth, muni had added two lines. and k, l and m lines that span out from westportal. in 1928, the j line opened heading west to the beach. in 1944 san francisco voters finally approved muni take-over of the market street railway. by then motor bus and trolley

this is so amazing to the future city. you know, when this playground burnt down, it captured the imagination of our city, and so thankful for everyone who stepped up, i really want to pay mayor, ed lee, who made this a priority, here in san francisco, before he passed away, it was without his support this would not have happened at all. and so a huge, how about a round of applause for his leadership in this. you know, my wife is here today, we have been taking our three kids here to this playground of their birth, and to see it rebuilt, to see the kids back on the concrete slide is amazing, and what's also amazing, though, i think we need to recognize, what a legendary playground this is and city of san francisco. standing with some other guys earlier today also born and raised san francisco kids and we came here when we were little and remember the slide and the cardboard and getting some air off of some of the jumps. but what an amazing place this is. look, parks are the heart and soul of our city. we are all about. we

they are assistance with all of the other city departments. they help identify problems, talk to residents to get a good understanding of what is going on in the neighborhood. then they coordinate with public works with the other city departments as needed to make sure that any coordination efforts are happening and that we are absolutely eaching every critic -- identifying every critical item that needs to be cleaned. it's an expansive effort. we continue to think out of the box in terms of how we can improve the cleanliness. it's a tough battle and we continue to try to make progress. with that i'll be happy to answer any questions. larry stringer is here to provide any further clarification you may have. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. colleagues what you just heard is the example of our very first budget priority hearing. this is the first in a series of hearings regarding those issues facing our city that the board has identified as priorities for this year's budget cycle. as you can see from the numbers this is absolutely a priority. so

city council city council lar, please counselar, please state your appearance. >> good evening, officer karla brown. >> commissioner, this is a disciplinary matter assigned to me. we had a meeting and reached a tentative resolution patrol spesh officers don't have the same rights as peace officers and the disciplinary matters an dispositions are held publicly in front of the police commission. we are the regulating body. at this point, i will ask the prosecuting agency to give us a breakdown of the disposition and where we stand. >> thank you, commissioner. and thank you for your assistance with these cases. we have finally come to the conclusion of the majority of these, so i appreciate your help. officer calhoun wiley in case aw awa aw2013-0305. one was for a violation of working in beat 55 which is actually owned by his daughter and not owned by him. he had owned it in years prior, but it had been transferred to her and not transferred back. in the second specification, he was charged with failure to provide an accurate client list when requested to do so by the san francisco police

we run the city's accounting and payroll services, we manage the city's debt, we pay city employees, we provide audit functions to move operations ahead, to help the mayor and board assess the efficacy of programs and help the public understand what it is the city is doing. it's important to me and to the office, it's an independent office and apolitical. whoever sits in the seat i'm luck yu had enough to hold is nominated by the mayor and confirmed by the board, it's to be independent to both, as well as a number of stakeholders around the budget and finances. and so we really, i serve and our office serves as an advisor to a whole host of stakeholders that care about the city's finances and performance. >> supervisor safai: i know we worked together on housing and you helped to convene along with the appointment of our body, it was extremely helpful we updated our inclusion housing which is set aside for private developers that have to set aside a certain amount of housing as affordable. so the work your office did was invaluable in that process. and having gone through my first bu

after that, there was no way fact for city.ester united on the weekend. they will win the premier league but, what are the thoughts on if fizzling out? certainly they have been a remarkable team for 95% of the season but what has happened over the last week, certainly there are of invisibility has deserted them really over the last seven days. —— there are out of invisibility. they will go on and win the premier league title. a pretty leg and yes it was being realistic. he was still talking about this being a building —— pep guardiola yesterday was being realistic. he sees very much the progress but for a lot of these fancier, a week ago, they would have a real chance of winning the champions league. the fact that it's endedin champions league. the fact that it's ended in such desperate disappointment, the effect at winning a premier league this weekend before the end of the season, that may seem at the moment at least not much consolation. jurgen klopp seems to have the measure of pep guardiola, eight out of 13 in competition

he continued to work with the city. the city borrowed harry truman's bipartisan approach. the city had other bond issues of its own. truman is dealing with the county and the roads, but the infrastructure and roads and parks as well. they kind of borrowed from his approach about getting input to these bond issues. who was an important figure at the city level trying to move the city forward, truman and what kansas city developed, the 10-year plan. plan, over 500ar committees were meeting to figure out how to improve the city. harry truman and his position supported them. he said the interest of jackson county is interwoven with the interest of kansas city, each dependent upon the other. they must for in general development. for six months, it has been my privilege to meet with the various committees and to study the problems confronting us -- our city and county. let me show you the roads here. seehe background, you can the actual roads, a significant map of what he was working on. 1832, harry sat down with fantasy timber commerce and he talked about his successes. he also

for fast paced city with the fashion conscious lifestyle that sets shanghai apart from other cities attention and access to. the next appointment is with a top belgian chef. this tower by the river might seem relatively in conspicuous but it's the office of one of shanghai's most powerful men the engine is president of the shanghai international polish group and a high ranking member of the communist party he grew up in the city and his youth things look very different here. that i think shanghai's development is pretty remarkable in the forty years since the opening of china and the reforms the city has changed every single day here. over there is the financial district that when i was young it was just the empty banks of the river. engine travels a lot with his job. and the state enterprise has also invested overseas in the israeli port of haifa for example and further investments of this kind of plant china's new silk road is intended to expand the country's trading network and increase its influence abroad but the engine says this is no cause for concern. it's also sort through. your mari

it's difficult to make change in city government. i've met so many people since i've been here in all of the city departments who are truly committed to making this city a great place to live and work for everyone. it's been a tremendous challenge, and i've watched real change makers work hard to make change work for everyone. but this is an uphill battle. as we watch out migration of african-americans continue in unprecedented numbers as we see children fewer and fewer children attending public schools in the city as we watch the number of our homeless neighbors increasing, as we see the number of people with serious mental health issues unable to find the help they need, we are in danger of losing the battle for this city. so while i'm deeply thankful for the kem endation -- commendation and feel represent for the people you represent, i'm also troubled. i started working here because i wanted to see what it was like to work from the inside, to work on needed changes from a different perspective. i'm proud of the work that we've do

do the city's work. since i have been in san francisco this is a trend how we do business. rather than have people work for the city in well paid jobs, represented with full benefits, we have pushed more and more work of the city to nonprofits. now, i have been told that nonprofit workers got the minimum wage. that is sufficient. $15 per hour, yes, that is good. can you really live in san francisco on 30,000 per year? can you raise a family? can you own a house? can you afford to present? think about it. $30,000 per year. typically people say no more than a third of your income can go to rent. $10,000 a year for rent. what does that get you in san francisco? that is not even $1,000 per month. the reality is that these workers do some of the hardest work in our city. they take care of the most marginalized members of the community, most vulnerable members of the community. the in home support workers take care of parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, people with disabilities. the role they played in takin

it is the geographic center of the city today. >> so, that is your city hall, right? built,when they were this was the largest city hall in the northeast. asheville was a boom town, on its way to being a major city and spending to make that happen. by the time the stock market aashed, asheville had amassed municipal debt of 780 million dollars in today's money, but it was building for the future, preparing for what was to come, and had the people and the money coming into town to merit that kind of planning for the future. when the economy went bust ,ecause of the great depression asheville refused to declare bankruptcy and decided to repay all of those bonds. americae only city in that ever repaid all of its depression era bonds. it did not do so until 1976. it had an old-fashioned bond burning days later to celebrate making those payments. but what it did was that it meant there was no money to invest even after world war ii as the rest of the south was growing by leaps and bounds. asheville was struggling because it didn't have the money to invest in sidewalks, wat

city has a debt limit of 3% of the total assessed value of the city. currently of that 3% the city's outstanding bonds equal .99% of the assessed valuation. in the board approves the issuance and we sell the bonds the debt ratio increases 1.6%. it would still be within the 3% limit. additionally, the board has approved the 10 year capital plan to place a constraint on the bonds to ensure the property tax rates funding the bond program would not be increased above the $12.01 per 100-dollars. the proposed sale would maintain the property tax rates for the bonds below that 200 of rate. we -- 2006 rate. if there are questions about the financing, i am happy to speak to that. next we have the two from the public works to speak to the projects to be funded. >> we will keep it short. you will receive information packets. [please stand b >> how many units of public housing will be updated? do you have that number? >> i do not have that number off the top of my head. it is in the thousands. >> in the thousands? okay. >> i can get back to you. principally here t

we have helped build this city. we are going to stay in this city as long as we can. we will not go away. >> president hillis: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> hi. laura clark, mb action. i ran over because i heard -- you know, we all watch sf gov tv if you're totally insane, i so had some concern about the -- [ inaudible ] >> -- and i would encourage in the future all conditions have an analysis put forward by the planning commission. i think that's reasonable. i would encourage it would include things that are often not included, such as things that are having to do with ceqa. it is very difficult to measure what never comes before this board. why was the rfp for the mcdonald's site shorter than the allowable zoning? how did that decision get made and why was that decision made? i would like to see an analysisen come pass that kind of loss because that is what our ballot initiative is really trying to capture. our ballot initiative is trying to say what are the things that are never even proposed because they know how much of a battle it's going to be b

city. as i said, tomorrow, stops along the royal road, adventures from a lifetime of travel, paying tributes to his family who is here. i got to read that copy when i was on vacation last year and even showed ernie where a couple of typos were. and it pays tributes to writers who have inspired him to hop around the globe, recounting improbable and really incredible tales as he traveled. congratulations ernie for all of your work and for being -- making the scene what it is. controlled substance, ernie. >> thank you very much.
