There’s a Happy Mutant reality hacker on the loose in Berkeley, California… affixing “mysterious medallions” on the city’s sidewalks.

I occasionally “guest-drove” a green 1996 Honda Civic. I came from a different, non-West-Coast state. When I would bring it to a complete stop at a stop sign, the owner would look at me like, “What the hell was that?”
