Lafayette Forge
Thanks to a reader for pointing out that Headlands Brewing is opening a taproom at the Lafayette Forge where the Lafayette Art Gallery used to be, next to Bonehead’s Texas BBQ. You may remember years ago that Lamorinda Taphouse was going to open at the backside of the Lafayette Forge… Check out Headlands Brewing beer selection here and follow the progress on their Insta here.
From their website:
Our indoor and outdoor design plan for the new brewery will feature a taproom with a 20-tap floating draught tower, two outdoor patios with fire pits and family-friendly open landscaping. We will proudly feature small batch ales exclusively available at the brewery, as well as guest beers, local wines and ciders, and a light, creative food program.

Considering that the United States does not offer a ranked voting system in presidential elections, should people be voting for third party presidential candidates that have no chance to be elected? Considering how close the previous election turned out, with celebrities like Susan Sarandon voting for Jill Stein in 2016, and Kanye West on this year’s ballot, is a vote for a third party candidate the same as not voting at all?

When I was younger, I always looked forward to reading the newspaper comics, especially the full page, color, Sunday comics. The Far Side was one of my favorites. Check out this particularly relevant, recent comic from the artist Gary Larson. Do you miss newspaper comics? What was your favorite comic?
