Moraga Shopping Center
The signage for the new Chase bank is up at the Moraga shopping center. What I find funny is that the parking lot is going to be bigger than the bank itself. Do they really expect so much traffic at this location?

Although I have been using Apple AirPods from the beginning, my family has been requesting headphones so we checked out various Sony headphones (expiring points) at BestBuy in Pleasant Hill and thought they were quite amazing especially with the noise cancelling feature. It looks like the new AirPods Pro also offers noise cancelling but I don’t know if that justifies the $249 price tag. Do you prefer headphones or ear buds? Wireless or wired? What is your favorite brand/model?
