With daylight savings ending in a couple of days, I wonder if it would be better if it never ended? That way, it wouldn’t get so dark so early. Are there any downsides to that?

In March, we learned that Pleasant Hill-based coffee shop Rooted would be coming to downtown Walnut Creek, and they have now opened. Check out their menu here. They have a great logo; I tried their avocado toast, aka “Avocado Dream”, and it was delicious, as was their iced cold brew coffee and cinnamon donut. I look forward to going back soon!
Park Plaza Shops, Lafayette
In June we learned that Hollie’s Homegrown would be coming to Park Plaza Shops in Lafayette, and their signage is now up. Check out their online shop here.
From their website:
The store also highlights other locally made and grown products that compliment Hollie’s items like one-of-a-kind textiles, artwork/photography by Lamorinda artists, local jewelry designers, hand crafted cutting boards to name a few!
In addition, Hollie has a wine tasting available where customers can sample the fine wines grown by her father, Louis Lucas.
As someone who likes to hike, I was very curious what the cause of death of the family that went hiking one day in August near Yosemite. I was pretty sure it was going to be related to toxic algae blooms in the water they filtered and drank, considering most filters don’t work on cyantoxins found in algae. But it turned out they died of dehydration. Considering how hot it was and how experienced they were, I don’t understand why they didn’t bring more water.
Are you worried about becoming dehydrated when hiking during the summer?
