Promising Young Woman

Redbox
If you've ever been the drunk girl at the bar, you're probably familiar with Cassie's plight—you get in a spot where you need some help or someone to show a bit of kindness and call you an Uber, but instead some skeezy dude decides you're an easy lay and decides to be the "nice guy" who brings you home. But Cassie has some secrets up her sleeve, and No. 1 is that she really isn't drunk, she's just good at playing the part to find out which guy is going to take the bait and soon learn his lesson.

Firefly Lane

Netflix
Sarah Chalke and Katherine Heigl play gal pals Kate and Tully, who met as teens when Tully moved to town and the two became instant friends, a friendship that has endured into their 40s. Tully is a wildly famous talk show star; Kate is an editor whose career has taken a backseat to motherhood. She's splitting with her husband, Johnny (Ben Lawson), who intends to head into a war zone as a correspondent; her 14-year-old daughter, Marah (Yael Yurman), can't stand her in that horribly cutting teenage way; and she's got a big gap on her resume.
Tully's life is in less chaos, but not for long. She perpetually drinks too much, sleeps around, and chases the youth she's inevitably losing. The Netflix series is based on a Kristen Hannah novel I haven't read, so I'm not sure how closely it ties to the storyline, but it follows the girls from their first days to their early career days and into their early 40s, told through various flashbacks.

Cases of COVID-19 continue to decline and, without any curfews or special holiday restrictions planned at the county or city level, local bars and restaurants are gearing up for St. Patrick’s Day. But the San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department is urging community members to keep celebrations brief, outside, small, and among only those without symptoms.

GREEN IN THE RED TIER Local bars and restaurants are gearing up for a pandemic St. Patrick's Day.
“But as all of us get ready for the next holiday that is coming up, St. Patrick's Day, I hope that we will all remember the types of surges that we've seen with each holiday beginning with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas time, New Year's Eve,” SLO County Public Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein said at a press briefing on March 10. “Every one of those holidays has led to a surge.”

About 'Wake up Atascadero'
About community choice energy aggregators: They are nothing more than a middleman for your electric power. The costs can increase and already have in some locations.
Unless there are transmission lines connected to distribution lines connected directly to your house, you receive the same combination of energy sources as I do in SLO County, which does not subscribe to the community choice energy aggregator. Renewables are not as useful as most believe. Think about it; when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow, the power is interrupted. When this occurs, sources of reliable power need to be available and increased. There is no way renewables could ever provide 100 percent of our power. It's not the hope for the future. There is no way the aggregators can guarantee how much renewable energy you are receiving.

Peaks for PEAK fundraiser: Hike you would take anyway can fund extracurricular scholarships for kids

As
Lindsey Haring signed her kids up for the SLO Youth Baseball league this February, all she could think about was how desperately they needed to get outside and see their friends.
After nearly a year of being holed up at home together amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Haring's children—second and fourth graders at
C. L. Smith Elementary School—returned to their classrooms this month for limited in-person instruction. Haring said she could see the difference in her second grader almost immediately. Virtual learning isn't easy for younger kids, she said, and his whole attitude brightened after just a few days of in-person class.

Pismo Chamber of Commerce to protest proposed vehicle ban at Oceano Dunes

The Pismo Beach Chamber of Commerce is making its stance on a proposal to ban off-roading at the Oceano Dunes perfectly clear: The move, it says, would hurt local businesses.
"It's not just the dunes," said Lisa Kruitbosch, a Pismo Beach business owner and volunteer with the Pismo Chamber
. "It is so large, the impact that it will have on the community."

Harassment of elected officials must stop

Harassment of elected officials must stop
What we allow is what will continue. Are we willing to put an end to escalating harassment and intimidation of our elected officials, or will we sit on the sidelines?
Political violence is not a new phenomenon. Those seeking to serve in public office have always faced hostility. Now, as a record number of women and other underrepresented groups have made inroads into elected office, the reactions have become heightened and dangerous. The mix of the digital era, pandemic isolation, and growing partisanship provides a powder keg ready to explode.
With the growing number of women in office, the violence toward them is also rising. Violence against women in politics takes many forms, including death threats, rape threats, sexual harassment, misogyny, disparagement, and sexist and racist abuse. These tactics attempt to silence and force compliance. They aim to undermine our democracy by preventing true representation.
