I woke up at 11, and had put a lot of things away when the illegal casino/brothel got firing up for the night and I didn't want any more lights on then necessary. I'd practiced on the cornet also so it was a fairly good night.
I had my brekkie and packed a few things and got out of here around 2 maybe, maybe closer to 1:30. I went to the bank and deposited the check for the flutes, and ordered some checks because if I get my passport through one of the libraries, they want a normal check not any other payment system and not a "starter" check. So those are about $30, and they told me how I can get them cheaper from Costco or Walmart, but I see that as much more expense and trouble to go through Costco which I'm not a member of.
That done, and having mailed packages at the post office, I then went to Whole Foods, put $20 on my clipper card, and rode the train to Menlo Park for some business, and after that I checked out the Trader Joe's. And I'm really glad I did, not because the Trader Joe's is anything great, it's not. But because right near it is a used book store and I found the greatest book, "Yiddishkeit" by Harvey Pekar. What a find! I was hoping I'd find something good but wow.
I was going to get some kind of bao or something from the bakery stall that's usually set up near the train station but they were closing down, but the lady said their home bakery, Little Sky, is open until something like 6 or was it 8? In any case now I know, and I can just go there - I thought the Little Sky place was a restaurant.
I got back to Whole Foods and had wings and broccoli and a Guinness, and rode back here, stopping at Nijiya for things. It's cold out there!
