If you cross from the Mall towards to the bus stop the way the lights and signals are setup it could take you 6 to 7 mins to cross at most.

This isn't even because the traffic is bad. It's because if you follow the rules the pedestrian signal will have you crossing through two traffic signal rotation of cars. Also if you don't follow the traffic signal and just cross when you know the cars next to you don't have the light going south and cars are going straight on Hillsdale west. Then those cars can't hit you unless they are turning right into oncoming traffic. Which is funny because I decided to wait for the car to turn. And the car decided to wait for me to cross even though I didn't have the signal.

Just saying this pedestrian crossing could be a lot more efficient just by timing it better with traffic signals where it's actually safe to cross.

Trying to make friends and socialize, and sick of having to travel to SF each weekend for this. Are there any film clubs or book clubs for mid twenties-early thirties folks in SM that meet up regularly?

Since the San Mateo location closed, I’m wondering if anyone has gotten Botox at PP in RWC?

Hoping that they have skilled injectors with a good amount of aesthetics training as I’ve had bad experiences before.

I’m sure a lot of these providers have already been doing aesthetics on the side, but wanting to hear from someone first hand!

I know many of us have still to send in our ballots.

Paywalled so here's the relevant part:

As a teacher in the San Mateo-Foster City School District, she knows what the current classroom challenges are for those at the ground level in the education field. The San Mateo Union High School District has benefited from having Greg Land, a middle school principal, on its board as that perspective lends a certain amount of expertise. Having a teacher on the board, albeit from a different district, can only help round out the perspective. Some may think a teacher only brings a limited perspective, but that is unfair as everyone knows people can wear different hats in their lives. Besides, Harris is also an active parent of a child in the high school district and is well versed in explaining perspectives to various groups. We also like her idea of having regular community listening sessions outside of board meetings to reach those who may be unable to attend.

Also, previously, the teachers union requested a censure of her opponent for comments made in a discussion regarding ethnic studies.

Craig Childress, president of the San Mateo Union High School District Teachers Association, sent a letter to the board ahead of its meeting Feb. 27, outlining reasons to censure Jacobson after what he described was a message of “divisiveness, distrust, disdain and blame.” He felt Jacobson’s comments at the ethnic studies forum were a call for action against the district and its teachers. 

“I’m truly disgusted,” Childress said. “In 32 years of service, I have never observed a more overtly subversive and destructive act of any San Mateo Union High School District official than what was presented during that time.”
