  First thing: Make a flyer.
  Keep it simple, says Liz Zeek Hueg, director of Orange County Shelter Pets, which helps keep pets in good homes

  Controversial opinion: I think we should abolish Twins Day.
  Twins Day, for those who haven’t had the pleasure, is a school day when kids pair off with a friend and dress alike. Usually it’s part of a week of themed dress days, your crazy hair days, pajama days and the like. The reason is usually to promote drug-free livin’ (Crazy hair symbolizing “You’d be ‘craaaaazy’ to do drugs”) or a more general idea of school spirit, but for a lot of the kids,

• California must lead on cutting down plastic waste

  At least we know the newspaper believes in some recycling.
  Recently, editorial writers recycled a tired, old argument that environmental regulation is bad for business.
  California proved that wasn’t true for emissions controls and renewable energy. We’re now economic leaders thanks in part to those regulations.
  The newspaper now wants to use the same evidence-free argument against legislation to reduce and recycle plastic waste.
  They got it all backwards.

  WASHINGTON — The Republican-run Senate rejected President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency at the southwest border on Thursday, setting up a veto fight and dealing him a conspicuous rebuke as he tested how boldly he could ignore Congress in pursuit of his highest-profile goal.

• Tragedy doesn’t justify flawed proposal to water down California’s blood alcohol limit

  14-03-2019 19:56
  
  Later this month, debate is set to begin around California Assembly Bill 1713—legislation that would lower the legal blood alcohol limit for driving from 0.08 to 0.05 BAC and redefine “drunk” in the eyes of the law to mean consuming one or two glasses of wine. Although the policy is being framed as a strategy to reduce drunk driving accidents, the idea is deeply flawed.
  The story behind the bill’s introduction is tragic.

It is inexpensive and can be found at drugstores, where it is commonly sold as a laxative or for soaking feet. A cup or so spread around citrus, avocado and other fruit trees boosts their performance, too. This little bit once a year is just right, but more is counterproductive, so don’t get carried away.
