Who did y’all call to get the street vendors selling fruit off the corners?
Trying to find out who to call about an unpermitted street vendor
A husband and wife who work for the circus go to an adoption agency. Social workers there raise doubts about their suitability. The couple produces photos of their 50-foot motor home, which is clean and well maintained and equipped with a beautiful nursery. The social workers raise concerns about the education a child would receive while in the couple’s care. “We’ve arranged for a full-time tutor who will teach the child all the usual subjects along with French, Mandarin, and computer skills”. Then the social workers express concern about a child being raised in a circus environment. “Our nanny is a certified expert in pediatric care, welfare, and diet”. The social workers are finally satisfied. They ask “What age child are you hoping to adopt?” “It doesn’t really matter, as long as he fits in a cannon”
Shout out to the new CEO of Starbucks. His $113 million salary and unlimited use of their private jet. Now remember Starbucks is known for their so-called being friendly to the environment with their paper straws, recycling of coffee cups and napkins and take home of used coffee grounds to show how much they care for mother Earth. The CEO lives in Huntington Beach, CA and the Starbucks headquarters is in Seattle. He made a deal when hired that he would commute 3x a week at 1,000 miles one way or 6,000 miles round trip weekly. A Lear jet spits out about 50x more pollution than a regular passenger aircraft. The carbon footprint of this clown is horrific for the environment. So, the next time you see an ad, or some literature, and a sign in a Starbucks’s store promoting another one of their woke ideas how they are saving the planet, just ask a barista about their new CEO Brain Niccol and his commute.

Call the health department and tell them you and your family got food poisoning at whatever vendor you want outa there. Works pretty quickly.

It’s time to overturn a lot of stuff in Kaliforniastan. Airhead politics don’t work. 😎
Cowellian’s first.
I’m in a different time zone and got confused.
Excuses, excuses😜
When Parents got to ‘that point’ would go food shopping and take care of monthly finances for them. Haven’t driven for better part of the year due to medical issues. Found out big box hardware stores will deliver same day many items from their local stores, groceries can be delivered when Daughter isn’t available to take us to do Costco shuffle.
Sittin’ here in recliner, with single morning coffee doctor allows, reflecting on how things have changed when the point arrives state refuses to give me a drivers license, can still get over to see Grand and Great Grandkids or Doctors appointment or order groceries and by using a phone app a person drives me for a fee. One company starting same day delivery some years ago eventually forcing others to offer same day to remain competitive.
How things have changed, from when my Parents were my age . . . .
wish I could be around to see advances when Great Grandkids reach my age.
to OG: I’m glad I won’t be around then!!
Reincarnation Red!
You can’t escape it.
Why is it that smoke alarm batteries only die in the middle of the night?
@ The Fearless Spectator~
We had 2 die within one week of each other at night.
Hubby sleeps through it, … I take care of it.
@fearless
They don’t die at all if you change them every 6 months as they suggest you do.

Do your alarms talk as well as honk. Mine does. “Battery Hall” honk, “Battery Hall” honk every 90 seconds. Mine has been of the ceiling all summer. Will put it back up soon as all I care about is the carbon monoxide detector.
Squirrely Smoke Detectors,
Years ago when land lines were all we had got phone call from MOM, there was a squirrel in the attic. Drove down and every so often smoke detector in hallway would chip for low battery.
Why aren’t cars involved in sideshows impounded?
The car and it’s owner should be escorted to the junkyard and have to watch the car get crushed into a small cube. Should cut down on this street nonsense.
They are impounded and arrested, including spectators.
I understand why the reports of a death on Colfax St at the garage went silent — when it was found to be a homeless man committing suicide. Beyond offering him a prayer to be forgiven and allowed into heaven, it was not really the public’s business.
HOWEVER, last night, early, 1:am to 3:am: For two hours, a man weilding a bloody machete (and possibly also a knife) held just about every cop in Concord at bay in a Hwy 242 X Olivera Rd. When one policeman got him to respond to him, Machete Man only asked: “Is she dead?’ ~~~ Finally after two hours that much of the city went without much police protection, the use of a drone to track him through the filth of the multiple “unhoused” encampments in that field (easily visible on Google aerial maps) The cops got tired of the game and the last I heard was police reporting to base: “He dropped the machete when the dog got him.”
I’d like some news…reports… There’s been nothing here, or patch, or EB Times, or KTVU, KPIX. So~~~ “Is she dead.”
Where’s Dorothy’s book report? 🙁
For all of you biking or riding scooters out there. My husband was riding his scooter along Diamond Ave on Friday morning. When a lady popped out of the bushes in front of Hilton Hotel and scare him so bad, that he fell over and the scooter hit the ground and broke the handle. The woman thought it was so funny. She looked like homeless this was around 645am. My husband just picked up his stuff and continue but now the scooter won’t run. So we will call Hilton to make sure their security does a perimeter check so no other person gets really hurt…and will do a police report.
4 dudes tried to run out of the Safeway store on 2nd St. in Brentwood yesterday with a shopping cart filled with liquor.
Brentwood police arrived immediately, busted up their party and took all 4 to jail.
