• How will we get around after the virus?

  24-05-2020 21:00
  
  The COVID-19 pandemic has upended our lives by putting our health at risk, disrupting our work lives and robbing us of most of our recreational activities. It has also evaporated all of our assumptions about transportation policy in California.
  First, in one of the few positive consequences of the pandemic, California’s highest-in-the-nation cost of gasoline is way down. In October of last year, the average per-gallon price of gas in California was $4.18. Today it is $2.72. Naturally, no o

  Five-ingredient recipes have a long history of popularity with newspaper readers as people deal with busy schedules and hungry families, For decades I oversaw a column that featured easy-to-make recipes with five ingredients (or fewer); water, salt, pepper, or oil (or butter) were not counted among the five, nor were simple garnishes such as chopped parsley.
  In these challenging times amid our shelter-in-place crisis, a kind of culinary revolution is taking hold. Home kitchens are getting fired

  Not necessarily.
  Some opened their doors soon after word came down from county officials Saturday – and, yes, there were some that had been open without permission before that. Others hope to welcome dine-in guests later this week. But some are taking a wait-and-se

Gavin Newsom in April politely encouraged them to follow social-distancing practices while protesting and assured all Californians that his COVID-19 responses would not be driven by public opinion or other similarly low-brow concerns. “We are going to do the right thing, not judge by politics, not judge by protests, but by science,” the governor said.
