Just wanted to post it here. I wasn’t able to get in touch with the car that got hit so I hope the person who got hit will find this. This is at the end of 237 northbound, right before it merges onto El Camino Real.

I found Loki! I left the back patio door open and he ended up wandering back inside on his own eventually. thank you to everyone for the support!

UPDATE:
Jen was placed in a rehab facility that unfortunately could not meet her needs of care. She is back in the hospital, where they are testing for possible wound infections. In addition to all the other injuries and surgeries still to be performed; they are treating her for a brain aneurism, and a fractured spine, which they put on hold in order to attend to the life threatening injuries first.

Jen and Deb (Mom) are hoping to go to an Airbnb or an extended stay hotel near the hospital with home health assisting with her care.

Your donations and prayers are very much appreciated.

Hi everyone! My indoor cat Loki escaped earlier around noon near Moffett and W Middlefield Road and he’s been missing ever since. He’s a male all black cat with yellow eyes and a blue collar. Please let me know if you’ve seen him nearby! He’s pretty friendly but may get skittish if you approach. Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a few people willing to test a side project grocery price comparison app I built called Cheapr. It compares prices across Costco, TJ's, Walmart, and Safeway (right now for Mountain View locations specifically). I built it because I was tired of standing in the store and googling what was a better deal, so you can use this to more easily find out. You can compare things by unit price, and search by barcode scan or text search.

The link is https://shopcheapr.vercel.app . On iPhone, you can open it in Safari, hit the share button, and add it to your home screen, and it will work like a full app. Once you're using it, there is a feedback button at the top right you can submit to if you have any issues.

Specifically I would love to hear: did it change what store you bought something at, was anything wrong/confusing, would you keep using it? You don't need to sign up or anything, I'm just curious if this is actually useful to anyone besides me. I'd be appreciative of any feedback, comments or DMs are both welcome. Thank you.

I was hit by a bus while riding my bicycle and I SURVIVED. It has been 6 weeks and I spend most of those days asleep or in a coma like a damaged Snow White. I could hear voices of Doctors, Nurses and my friends; I also had fragmented pieces of memories of the accident. By the time I woke up I had no doubts what put me in hospital and how my life changed in a second.

Now I try and focus on the right Here Right Now, because thinking of the violent impact or the plans I had for my life means visiting a grief that I can only tolerate in small doses.

It’s easier for me to think about daily accomplishments like standing up on one fragmented foot for a few seconds while being guided to a bedside chair, or the day my trachea was removed and my voice came back to life, or the day I was able to eat solid food, for which I celebrated with a small portion of cheeseburger and fries.

Thinking about these things is the positive respite I need from dwelling on all the plans I had being derailed or missing my old life. Overcoming daily adversities makes hope feel realistic… Hope for a new life that is as fulfilling as the life I had planned.

I want to thank those who have prayed for me, send messages of encouragement, or have donated to the GoFundme.

Pueblo!

My name is Aaron Foster and I'm coming to Colorado for the Boulder Comedy Festival but have a night off so I'm performing my stand up show "Mostly Jokes" at The Blo Back Gallery on Friday June 19.

I know seeing a comedian you've never heard of is a pretty big ask. Totally fair.

That being said, wasn't there a time when you had never heard of whoever your favorite comedian is right now? I'm not saying I'm gonna be that, but if you like the jokes in the clip, you'll probably like the show.

Heads up: "Mostly Jokes" covers some dark topics like mental health, dysfunctional families and mid-life regrets, but I promise it's named that for a reason., it is mostly jokes.

I've been working on it for about three years in comedy clubs and theaters around the US and Canada and plan to tape it as my first special in the fall.

Tix are only $15 and the show runs about 90 minutes.

No opener, no intermission and, best of all, I promise I don't do crowd work.

More info through my site www.MostlyJokes.com as well as a bunch of reviews from people who have seen it, press, interviews, etc.
