[BerkeleyDailyPlanet] Civic Shenanigans

Dear Subscriber,

Just a reminder: You’re getting these updates about what’s been happening
in the Berkeley Daily Planet because you asked to be included.  If you’ve
changed your mind for any reason, just tell us with an email to
unsubscribe at berkeleydailyplanet.com
and we’ll take you off our list.

We have our usual assortment of lively and interesting articles today.  As
usual, we’ll give you two weeks worth of links.  For reasons known only to
gmail, all the white space is squeezed out of a current issue’s set of
links on my screen, but not out of those from the previous issue.  Go
figure.  Also some readers have found their letter in Spam, so if yours
turns up missing, that’s the first place you should check.  We don’t seem
to be able to avoid these problems.

But anyway, here we go!

Sunny and cold this morning, isn’t it?  But I hope by the time you read
this it will be raining.  We can only hope.  Nevertheless, make hay while
the sun shines!  The birds are courting.

Best wishes,
