I was pulling into an empty space between two other parked cars on Broadway in downtown Santa Monica last week. Suddenly a guy on a bike hit the passenger side mirror. There is no bike lane on Broadway at this point. He fell down, a white male with a beard age about 40, wearing knee pads and a crash helmet. He started swearing a limping. He ordered me not to leave and said "This is the second time today!" even though I had never seen him before. He began to pound his bike helmet on the windows...

If you or someone you know has a dog who barks a lot, you may scour the Internet for a remedy. One option you might come across is the "Ultrasonic Bark Collar," a collar the dog wears that often comes with a remote control for the human. When dog guardians hear barking (or, on some automatic models, whenever the collar detects barking), the collar releases a high-pitched sound inaudible to humans, but which supposedly annoys the dog enough to stop them from barking. Beware: these devices are nei...
