El Camino Real is another divider. Fremont Avenue is the general boundary between CUSD and SESD; that makes it a divider, too.

The school district is only 50% in Cupertino and covers parts of Sunnyvale, Los Altos, Saratoga, San Jose, and Santa Clara. It does cover all of Cupertino.

Her past trips have always been about visiting family. I hope this one will be about memories with her grandkids in the land of her birth.

Nice article. If I understand it correctly, you're saying there doesn't need to be a Chinese or Russian conspiracy to weaken the United States, American nationalism is more than up to the task. And you see little to no evidence of a conspiracy. I agree completely with that.

In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I'm not worried in Sunnyvale. If this were to happen, Los Altos and/or the more expensive parts of Cupertino are already overrun. 85 and 280 should be good firebreaks. I imagine I have friends from those cities stating with me at that point.
