I like to take the garbage out at night. Sometimes I wonder how I would feel taking out the garbage if I lived in Alaska or Florida. Would I be attacked by a Grizzly bear? An alligator? This week a child in Moraga was bitten by a coyote but thankfully was able to escape with the help of their parent. A few years ago I encountered a pack of coyotes nearby that was somewhat disconcerting even if I’m not a child. When I run on empty trails I worry about mountain lions.
Do you worry about wild animal attacks or are there more important things to worry about?

Coffee Shop, which opened almost six years ago in downtown Walnut Creek, has closed. According to a sign in their window, their Alamo and Lafayette cafes remain open, and they wrote that, “we are in the process of moving the store to another location in WC”. Their latest Instagram post mentions a beer garden at their Lafayette spot with a link to Lafayette Public House.

This week the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended double masking to prevent infection from the more spreadable variants that are doubling about every 10 days.
From the CDC website:
CDC conducted experiments to assess two ways of improving the fit of medical procedure masks: fitting a cloth mask over a medical procedure mask, and knotting the ear loops of a medical procedure mask and then tucking in and flattening the extra material close to the face. Each modification substantially improved source control and reduced wearer exposure.
Are you going to follow their suggestions to protect yourself before you get vaccinated or are you going to risk it with only one mask? I’ve been happy with my double layer mask fit with disposable filter sandwiched in-between but maybe I should add another mask? I feel like it’s not necessary but if I do catch it I don’t know if I’ll forgive myself.

A new coffee shop called Tellus Coffee is opening this Wednesday in downtown Walnut Creek. I stopped by for the soft opening yesterday and was impressed by both the inside ambiance as well as the Golden Milk Latte made with chai tea and turmeric, and the blueberry scone I tried. The living green and brick walls with plenty of natural light is going to be an amazing place to hang out. Once Covid restrictions are loosened there are plans to serve alcohol. In the meantime, drop by beginning from Wednesday through Sunday from 8am – 3pm and check out their menu here.
From their website:
Our Walnut Creek location features plenty of natural light and a beautiful green plant wall, with plenty of space to lounge or work in. The extensive espresso and coffee menu is always made in our in-house zero-emissions roaster, we feature an exciting assortment of lose leaf teas, and our food, beer, and wines are locally sourced and served fresh!
