Fed up with street racing; Eigleberry St. project update
I sit here finally fed up with the street racing, which goes on here on a somewhat regular basis. It begins promptly at 9:30 p.m. and lasts approximately 15 minutes each night and some nights residents who live up here are treated to late night racing on the roundabout somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 p.m. or later. What prompted my contacting Red Phone is the death recently in San Jose by a senseless game of the same variety. Young males fueled by too much testosterone who feel it necessary to take their frustrations out by engaging in this risky behavior. Did you not learn a lesson from the two idiots who decided their pleasure was more important than the young girl's life and who now sit in Santa Clara County jail? Apparently not or you wouldn't be driving like a maniac as I sit here writing this now.

Parents, Alzheimer’s and money: Easing into a difficult conversation
Every eighth American aged 65 and older has Alzheimer's disease, and 43 percent of Americans aged 85 and older have it, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Consider those percentages in light of the Social Security Administration's estimate that about 25 percent of today's 65 year olds will live past age 90. These shocking statistics have serious implications for family wealth.
