📰 News we're reading
• A perfect weekend along California's Central Coast (mercurynews.com) — If you’re planning a nearby getaway, this guide spotlights Avila Beach’s sunny boardwalk, calm bay, and easy-access Bob Jones Trail as the ideal starting point on the Central Coast. It then branches out to Madonna Inn kitsch, Edna Valley wineries, Cal Poly attractions, Cambria’s coastline, and Pismo’s monarch grove, with practical tips on what to see and how to get there. 
• California's last nuclear power plant will remain open—for now (pacificlegal.org) — Avila Beach neighbors will see the nearby Diablo Canyon nuclear plant stay open at least five more years after state regulators approved a new permit. The decision came with major conditions, including land conservation, a new public trail, and millions for trail work, while critics argue California’s regulatory system is stifling nuclear power expansion nationwide.
