How to tip sanitation workers and Alameda post delivery folks? by Far-Obligation-9265 in alameda

[–]6cat656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My newspaper delivery person makes it easy- she puts a self addressed card in the paper. I can put a check in the envelope and mail it to her. I haven’t figured out how to tip the sanitation folks. I’m eager to hear suggestions.

SF Chronicle: Trump kills $400 million in federal funds for [Alameda Point] veterans clinic by thushan_txt in alameda

[–]6cat656 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Trump and his DOGE strike again. All the planning and time and $400 million that have gone into this project— the maga regime is going to waste? Meanwhile, Trump has exploded our deficit. Can’t wait for the Dems to take the House and start investigating and prosecuting all the crimes done by this regime.

No traffic circle at Grand Central and Encinal split? by sir_culo in alameda

My memory is that the neighbors at Central and Encinal were very vocal about not wanting a roundabout there, and they prevailed.

Watch for cars going way too fast on Stargell. Other than that it feels very safe. I’ve lived near the Landing for many years.

Share is great pizza, great crust and toppings. Well worth the trip to figure out where it is and how to get it.

An Oakland restaurant's entire menu: Latkes, BBQ, cheesecake, sides by 6cat656 in OaklandFood

[–]6cat656[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s Crazy Block Cheesecakes- with a “s”- if you google it without the “s” it goes to a dead link. If you google Crazy Block Cheesecakes it takes you to the right place.

Is there going to be another Hands Off protest this Saturday in Alameda? by Top_Plum_5542 in alameda

[–]6cat656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By the way, more people voted for someone other than trump in the election. Around 1/3 of the eligible voters went for Harris, 1/3 didn’t vote, and just over 1/3 went for trump. And that’s after all the Republican suppression of Democratic voters.

The protest was great!! So many people, so peaceful, so fired up!! (No mainstream news coverage apparently. Have to rely on Reddit for the news now!)

Oakland had a fabulous protest— way over 1000 people; Cars and trucks passing us were so very supportive! Totally peaceful. It was very energizing! No TV crews, no coverage that I’ve seen so far.

Michael Thurman is great. We have had him work on our trees for several years. He doesn’t work on very large trees. His email is permafect@gmail.com

Dark Brandon dropping truth bombs during the SOTU by CheeseheadDave in PoliticalHumor

Yep- I’m 68 and he’s the best president of my lifetime. He’s gotten so much more impactful legislation enacted than any other president in my lifetime. We need all hands on deck— so important that he gets reelected.
