As a wish list and an idea-sparking exploration, this is quite interesting. I would add some sort of return-path and side-passage marking system, perhaps with paint or ink that is only visible in some combinations of illumination and goggl

Glad you liked the mark/sense system, but California voting systems are not state-wide, but are county by county. The county I reside in used to have a system like that you describe (perhaps made by Eagle?), but has now moved to a dis

Regardless of the title, the key to this issue is that while California beaches below the high tide line are open to the public, access over private land is not part of the deal. One could walk along a beach, or arrive by water, or access f
