Updated my direct deposit, but the SS website gave me an option of starting my DD in July or August. I was waiting for my March check, which should come at the end of April. Tried to bypass, but NO, you must pick one. WTF! There was no way to change this any where on the site or by phone. Couldn't wait for 2-4 weeks for an appointment, so into the abyss of a government bureaucracy I proceeded. Showed up at 9AM (opening time), already a line of 15-20 people waiting at the door. Got in line, and after about a half hour was standing in front a kiosk for check-in. Oh of course my issue was not listed, mine Account Suspended. I chose something, and then because I am disabled, I had 2 choices for my disability, which is balance issues, so I push a 4 wheeler, which was NOT a choice. Blind or deaf, hard of hearing. Her Ladyship, reached over and chose the hard of hearing, because I froze a bit. and off we went to sit at one of the 20 plus chairs. From the numbers on the display board, it looked like it would be a very long wait. 20 minutes later I was called, got a very nice man, and in 10 minutes I was out the door. Big Giant YAY.

Public shaming has become extremely bad and a huge issue. No matter where you go, people will throw passive aggressive jabs even for asking a simple question that can in no common sense way be considered offensive. I've also endured a lot of racist and judgmental interactions by minorities, which I think is pretty hypocritical. It's like no one has any decency or a sense of civility anymore. Every time I go outside my house I am getting traumatized over and over again by reckless drivers, rude employees in stores and medical offices, and pretty much any interaction you can think of. I get laughed at by random strangers who literally don't know how to mind their own business. It feels like I'm getting mobbed.

The male librarian is very helpful when I want to ask him on how to make a copy. The female old librarian is gossiping about Asian people and making fun at them.

In general, the quality of the people who come to this library are better during the morning , but the quality of the people are getting worse as the day goes by, especially during the evening hours.

The expressway changes name in Palo Alto to Alma but otherwise it's a great way to traverse from the mid Peninsula to the South Bay. Especially if you want to avoid US101 or 280. Until it hits Palo Alto there are few stoplights and its much faster than the El Camino. The flip side is that there are almost no services along its route. From a biking standpoint it is a relatively easy ride but can be a bit precarious with all the high speed traffic. Also the lane has a lot of debris and I've had my fair share of flats.

When I went outside there was impressive amount of Food Vendors ( the way it should be) so it was interesting ( the Japan Cherry Blossom in May??? I forgot). The thing is we were late ( this time) for July 4th. Celebration. There was some kind of Pancake Breakfast (Optomst Club?) but way too expensive...offer Pancake, Sausage, fruit cup, Coffee,Hot Choco for $ 15 dollars? $ 3 OJ. Since Mom is Diabetic & Dad has cancer, Dad & I decide that $ 15 is too expensive for just Pancake/Sausage. I was still curious if other people showed up, as in Cupertino $ 15 is cheap. So I was curious what other people had to say about the Breakfast July 4th. I also saw huge line for kids event. Of kids throwing DartBoard (not real darts) but it would be nice for someone to show Kids how to Throw it as most kids missed it ( maybe next yr, I will volunteer as it would be nice for someone to show kids how to throw the plastic thing to not miss the Dartboard even tho it was not real Darts) The thing that was disappointing ( only to me) is that on 4th of July it would have been nice to see tons of Food Vendors ( because its a holiday when families go out to have fun & most Families willing to spend money on Vendors). Maybe because only Pancake breakfast..I dont know if that was huge success or not. But it would have been nice to see many Food Vendors out as it can promote small businesses...and Im sure if the Center offer to Vendors that they would pay the Community to be able to put their Food Business out on July 4th. i was wondering what other people think? I just think $ 15 is way too much to charge for just Pancake. Dad & I brought Mom to McDonalds and spent $ 20 for breakfast instead of spending $ 45 dollars for pancake/sausage which we cannot eat because Mom diabetic. And at McDonalds you get free refill on coffee so Dad & I shared. Anyways, the Music for the 4th of July was awesome. There was a really great, awesome band playing. We went near the end of the concert. They were playing really Good Rock & Roll music and other American Classic music. It was really Good the Music, concert & band with really good electrice guitar music. I think to make the July 4th perfect tho, it would be nice to see Food Vendors offering both lunch & breakfast. Thing like BBQ chicken or wings, or even Tacos. Or anything that the Communiy wants. Would be nice to see what type of Vendors come there. Just would be Fun to see....Offering a whole Variety on Food as there are not enough buffet Nor MultiCultural type food places to go. Dad is a huge food fanatic but he gets sick of overpriced Chinese ( his favorite). I keep telling Dad to see Mexican Food Trucks as they are cheaper than Most overpriced restaurants. Even Pho ( one of my favorite foods) is expensive in restaurants these days (I love Vietnamese food as it is one of my favorite, next to Mexican is my favorite but I lived in California back in 1990 when Mexican food used to be cheap...Now the prices have sky Rocket...the only cheap Taco restaurant is Los Dos Compadres near Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd & Prospect Rd ( DeAnza Blvd & Prospect Rd). Most of their Tacos are only 3.5 or maybe close to 3.75 by now and they give more meat than most Taco Trucks. Only one time their Carne Asada was less taste but majority of time, they have really good Taco and good Carne Asada. Only problem is they close at 3pm. Anyhow, it would be nice to see more Variety of Food ( not just Pancake). I wish other people would give their opinion too ( Because I value our country...Home of the Free !!!!!!!)

It didn't help that all other customers, including me, were people of color and this woman was Caucasian. One example was when I asked, "Could I add tracking to this package?" and she snapped back, "What do you think this is?" I also overheard this exchange between a different customer service rep and a customer next to me: "Where is this package going?" "To China." "Of COURSE it is." It's a sunny 77 degrees on a Saturday afternoon and you're supposed to be providing customer service. This simple trip to the post office left me with such a negative feeling because of the interactions I experienced in 15 minutes--condescending, aggressive, with racial undertones. Not fun.
