We were in S.A. yesterday (May 8) and there were NO signs up, no indications at all that they are closing. Of course, there never ARE any sales staff around to help, which MIGHT (?) have something to do with why they are going under? Yes, this was the Elk Grove store on Laguna Blvd…

OOOH, I want to do this!!!

Anyone who has anyone in a care facility, be it rehab, acute care, convalescent care, whatever, needs to be SURE that someone checks on that person every day, at random times of day, and who is able and willing to be very VOCAL about what that person needs. A friend of my mom’s is in rehab (not in EG) and at 89 years old, has NO tush cush at all.…[Read more]

I took the CRB interchange in the morning Wednesday, and in the afternoon coming home from downtown. My only real concern is that the northbound I-5 on-ramp is not well done. It is more of a hard 90 degree turn, instead of a more gradual on-ramp/acceleration lane thing. Taking the EB offrampf from SB I-5 in the afternoon was fine. A tad confusing…[Read more]

Can we come back to the point here? I do ride RT light rail (blue line) almost every workday. Some train cars are relatively clean, some are absolutely filthy. I wash my hands as soon as I get to the office, and use hand sanitizer when I get to my car coming home. What is worse, for me, is when I enter a train car to the lovely third-hand odor of…[Read more]

I have had AAA ever since I started driving. Got it for my two kids when they got their licenses, even before they had their own vehicles – they’ve used it more than once when out with friends… When I’ve had very small fry in the car with me, I’ve told the dispatcher and the response time was AWESOME! WELL worth the cost! I’m going to check that…[Read more]

The parking lot at Franklin is $1.00/day, FYI…

Rode LR today. Other than it took longer to walk from the garage to the station than it did to actually drive to the garage, no surprises. EASY parking, but a suggestion from my daughter – do NOT park on the end of any rows in the garage… evidently many idiots forget how to turn correctly and take off bumpers. Biggest surprise was riding past M…[Read more]

I drove to CRC to see how long it would take from my house, and to fact-check some conflicting information. The RT monthly parking lot hang tags ARE GOING TO BE HONORED at CRC garage!!! WHOO HOO!!! That means I can leave home at the same time as before, park in the garage, in the shade, and walk over to the station, grab a seat on the north-bound…[Read more]

I’m looking forward to using the extension – I’m one of those “normal hours” commuters and I have almost always felt quite safe riding the train. Most of the “regular” riders are like the bus riders – you know who usually gets on/off at which stop, you notice when someone is missing, or when they get back (from whatever), and you REALLY notice…[Read more]

I have a Mac Book Pro. LOVE it! No experience with the Chrome at all… Tech-challenged here, but I like what works for me.

Thank you for giving him a home and a chance!

I wear my helmet also. First major accident after college, I was clipped from behind turning left and landed on my head and tailbone. I was aware enough to absolutely insist on EMT transport with backboard, etc because it hurt so bad. 2 hours later, on HARD X-ray table, nothing was “broken” but by did I have a concussion. Had to spend the night…[Read more]

My daughter and I went there a few weeks ago. I was NOT impressed at all… french fries were cold and limp. I had to ask for the cranberry sauce that comes with the turkey. Turkey was lukewarm and dry. Her chicken was ok at best. I have too many other places to spend my money at to return there, even though I hope it was just a bad day for…[Read more]

The kids and I went there last evening for take-out. AWESOME food! So sorry they are closing, and we wish them all the best in future endeavours!

My mom is 81 years young. She has two titanium knees, and two new cataracts in there eyes, so now she can see where she’s going clearly, and get there with NO pain! Mom is a 55-year Girl Scout, grandma to ten (and seven spouses), gram-gram to 15 and 8/9ths (#16 is due in a few weeks), gran-gran to several honorary great grandkids, and such a…[Read more]

So, does this mean that the water people will actually come out and look at reported wasting of water? How can we report, and what good does it do if nobody will come out and do something? Last time I tried to report a waste, I was told that they could only come out if it was actively occurring, which is usually NOT between 9 and 5 Monday – Friday!

Thanks all, we will just deal and call EGPD if they block the driveway…

Old Town Pizza please…

My vet (Hatton Vet Hospital) said that this is the worst year in ages for fleas. I had to take both cats in for baths and meds while I bombed the house. They are INDOOR ONLY kitties and were just miserable – almost as miserable as we humans were. Just crazy outside! Am doing the hose-end sprayer thing, for sure, in the back yard…
