I run through this week’s local headlines, including Rep. Julia Brownley’s retirement and the three candidates vying for her seat — plus a quick update on the Boeing lawsuit.

Then it’s off to Aldi, where I bought exactly what I said I was going to: yes to the wood bowls, the humidifier fish, and pink and purple hyacinths. The Aisle of Shame is fully pet-coded this week, with bonus finds including cozy athleisure wear, and Big Game party essentials.

We wrap with details on Music Fridays at Tierra Rejada Golf Course!

Serious, seasonal, and slightly unhinged — as usual.
