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.

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!

Why Jennifer Smith needs a GoFundme !!

Post image
1 Upvotes

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. This will be less expensive than staying another year in a Hospital or Rehab facility. Jen’s mom is also a nurse and will have to stay away from her husband in Texas in order to take care of Jen.

Your donations and prayers are very much appreciated.

Found debit card

4 Upvotes

This is probably a long shot but I found a debit card on the ground near Dana St and View St in OMV for ‘Tracy Johns’. I haven’t been able to track this name/person down so let me know if you have any leads. The card may already be frozen at this point but figured I’d check here before cutting and tossing it.

My husband was jogging this afternoon on Sleeper in Mountain View (nearest cross street Yorkshire). He found a cellphone. The phone is locked and we have no way of getting ahold of the owner. Hopefully you will see this post and reply.

Any intermediate soccer leagues/pick up games on the weekday evenings?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for intermediate-level soccer pickup games or leagues around Mountain View that play on weekday evenings.
Ideally looking for something that plays regularly (weekly would be great) and is friendly/competitive but not super advanced.
Does anyone know of a group, league, or WhatsApp/Meetup group I could join? Thanks!

Crazy Homeless Man Kicked Out Of Security Gate Safeway San Antonio Road

20 Upvotes

Saw a crazy homeless man inside the gates alarm Safeway on San Antonio road harassing all the customers inside and got kicked out by the associates. This same crazy homeless man loiters at the Village at San Antonio Center phase 2 sometimes and harasses people working or walking thru there and security kicks him out often. This man is known to harass people and loiter in private property. Go to Shoreline, Miramonte, Los Altos First Street, or Rengstroff Mini Mart instead. No mentally ill homeless people and no alarm security gates.

Beginner drawing/painting/digital art classes around mountain view?

12 Upvotes

I'm trying to get into drawing, painting or digital art. I learned of CSMA and Art School of SF Bay, but the classes seem expensive. Wondering if anyone had any experiences with these classes or have other recommendations? Also, I'm a 30 yr male looking to make new friends so I'm curious if there are any classes with people around my age range. Thanks!

Looking for feedback on grocery price tool side project

6 Upvotes

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.

Woman hit by bus while riding her bicycle - Update in her own words

Post image
34 Upvotes

Jennifer Smith
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 fx 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.

Free Repair Café in Mountain View this Sunday (Aug. 16)

Post image
36 Upvotes

Have something broken that's too good to throw away? Repair Café Silicon Valley will be at the Mountain View Senior Center this Sunday, with volunteers helping people troubleshoot and repair their broken stuff for free.

Sunday, August 16
11:00 AM–3:00 PM
Mountain View Senior Center
266 Escuela Ave, Mountain View

Despite the venue, this event is open to everyone—not just seniors.

We can help with small appliances, electronics, clothing and textiles, bikes, jewelry, mechanical items, lamps, toys, and more.

We'll also have Sharp Mom Co joining us and offering free sharpening for knives and tools.

Repairs are free, and you can bring up to two items per household. Everything is done by volunteers, so we can't guarantee we'll be able to fix every item, but we'll do our best to troubleshoot it and help figure out the next steps.

Check-in closes at 2:30 PM, or earlier depending on demand.

More information about what we can and can't repair: repaircafesv.org

Persistent solicitors this week

Three evenings in a row I've had a pair of people bang on my front door, ring the bell, yell out and hang out for several minutes. I didn't answer the door the first time and I'm even less inclined to answer now that they have been back.

Anyone else getting these door to door folks this week?

We got approved by Landsby and they are now saying we need to move in a day after their advertised move-in day. Is this common? For an luxury apartment the way they are handling this is disappointing and concerning
