The five minute rule as discussed in productivity books is a way to get started even when the odds seem insurmountable. The commission should apply that to the Beverly Hills Park revitalizations.

The second topic finally reacts to last week's Sunday commentary in an upbeat and positive manner...sort of.  

Today's one-topic show looks at the definition of conservative.

Today's podcast switches the order of the topics. The first reacts to the Sunday Chronicle commentary through the context of cross-sorting and the second topic explains why more patience is needed to find a solution with residential road resurfacing.

The race for district 4 is heating up with many former county commissioners that might join including one that did yesterday.
