Sunnyvale which is the home of Yahoo's central campus is part of SILICON VALLEY. Therefore one is not surprised to see that one can find free WIFI at the McDonald's in Sunnyvale. I guess I should be a bit embarrassed about admitting I go to McDonalds as it is probably politically incorrect, unhealthy, and quite jejune. However I did, just today, eat a salad and chocolate chip cookie that I purchased there. One cannot deny that when one is on a very tight budget, there are few places that can beat McDonald's for thriftiness. There dollar menu has saved my ass, err, sad stomach on several occasions. They have added a humongous ICE TEA and a chocolate sundae to their dollar menu. Not on their dollar menu, but especially delightful if you are demoralized, is there three cookies for $1 that you can buy. So, today, since the sprouts I started two days ago are just beginning to bud, I was forced to resort to restaurant food for sustenance. I did not feel the least oppressed by the two dollar lunch that I had, which included two slices of yesterday's pizza from Little Caesar's in Santa Cruz (only $3.99 for a large on Wednesday's.), the side salad, iced tea, and one of my three chocolate chip cookies. I call this a pleasant balance of healthy, semi-healthy, and bad-but-fun meal food.
