Folsom

As our Lyft driver pulled up a street away from 8th and Folsom, a man in assless underwear sprinted towards what we could only assume was his kinky oasis.

Bob Sayles, a UC Berkeley alumnus who helped lead the restoration of the campus’s Bowles Hall residential unit, died May 14 after a brief illness, according to a campus press release. Sayles was 85.

After months of dry weather conditions, cities across Northern California saw several days of heavy rainfall this past weekend; but state officials caution that the storm is only one of many needed to alleviate the drought.

Now that the lack of rain and the dwindling water supply is a state issue, I hope we’re all paying attention. But still, I worry that we, particularly those of us my age and younger, aren't aware of what we could really do about this.
