Without people able to work, the supply chains will break.
You may get an MRE or two.
I was actually thinking about going to Chumash Casino today. In normal times I don’t especially like people or large crowds so if it’s empty that would be perfect to me. Lol
Thanks. I was near there a couple days ago. I was walking through Vasona Park with our doggie a couple days ago and managed to get turned around in Los Gatos. Missed Los Gatos Blvd north and went east on Blossom Hill to Union before turning north.
It was a favorite when I lived in San Jose.
Wanna buy a house in San Jose?...
I don’t think that’s on the menu and I’m allergic to molk
Wow!
Vasona Park is nice. Been there a few times.
Hey they make these things that would obviate your distress over sitting next to those folks at a coffee shop.

Which cafe was it? The one on State?
The last time I was in Vasona was when the kids were little and we drove through looking at the Christmas lights. This was my first time walking the park and I was rather disappointed with the maintenance there. It felt a bit shabby (looks great from the highway, but up close, not so much). A lot of the problem is that cities don’t maintain the lawns in their parks because of the fear of pesticides and the water rationing. So the big expanses of lawn are now mostly weeds riddled with ground squirrel burrows. There were lots of large fallen tree limbs that nobody is picking up.
Ever since we started paying tens of billions to illegals and homeless, the state of our parks has declined precipitously. Taxes from legal citizens support the illegals, indigent, bums and homeless, not our “public squares,” and civic life is much worse than it used to be. I think this conclusion is a straight line from “A” to “B.”
To make it worse, Los Gato and Vasona are right in the middle of the most affluent region in the country.
We spend a lot of time in the Coeur d’Alene, Idaho area. It is far less prosperous than Silicon Valley, yet is conservatively governed, has a minuscule problem with illegals and homeless, and far lower taxes. Somehow the city parks there are magnificent compared to the crap in California.
LOL. Yeah, but a part of my mission to get out was to help keep Julie in business.
Are they contagious?
“The Village Pantry” on Second. You’re thinking of “Rick’s” on State.
How about if you sent her a check with a nice card? Getting the service later would be the best thing, if you can afford it.
It would be a special gesture she’d definitely appreciate, and remember.
I always give her a gift at Christmas and other times during the year. Left her a very generous tip today.
I've had that happen on a dual-lane highway with two lanes in each direction, virutally empty except for me and one other car—which won't stop trying to ride my tail, cruise beside me, or pass and pull in right in front of me no matter how many times I correct for it. Some people just can't bear to be alone.
I ate at one of them a couple years ago when we were there for the Ann Coulter thing, but I don’t exactly remember which one. It was long and skinny and the back door opened right into the parking lot. The interior was painted a bluish color, IIRC.
That is the place. Very old school...you have to like that sort of place to enjoy it. The back door opens onto a very nice courtyard which is wonderful on warm sunny days.
I will never understand that. People sit right next to you in an empty restaurant. People park right next to your car in an empty parking lot. I am always trying to keep a private space around me where possible. It is just more peaceful and less hassle that way. I think most people behave that way, but you have some people who will sit right next to you in an empty building. I don’t get it. Bizarre behavior.
