Also more stainless steel options which are a little more expensive but thats a onetime investment, just dont lose it, so a box of plastic bags, it lasts me like three year, parchment paper, its the layer that touches your food and then aluminum foil isnt really bad, but parchment paper is a good thing.

And through the captains newsletters to talk to people about sensible driving and about paying attention as theyre walking and moving through the city. If we could ask anything of the walking public, were all in love with our little devices now. Im addicted to mine. But as we walk, we need to be mindful of where were walking and we need to be looking up and paying attention. Our most were most vulnerable when we are walking and were not looking.

Theres other things that we as major city chiefs would like to see happen, such as the banning of internet ammo sales. Wed like to see inperson transactions. The record of sales and licensing of ammo vendors, and other things i can talk to you about off line. We are doing everything we can to make San Francisco a safer place and reduce Violent Crime. The mayor spoke of ipo, which he introduced at the very beginning of august. And for the first august in memory and maybe even on record, we suffered zero homicides in that month. Unfortunately one homicide in the city is too many. Weve had 67 this year to date, which is up over the last couple years, record low. Still the best weve had in 10 years absent those record lows.
