This week we learned that killer bees have arrived in the Bay Area, specifically Lafayette. As a kid growing up in the 1980s I remember reading how killer bees were eventually going to make there way from South America to the United States and I was scared. Now that it has happened, that got me wondering what natural event are you most afraid of?
I’ve experienced several large earthquakes and while those were pretty nerve-racking, I can’t imagine what it would be like to experience a killer bee attack, especially as a child. What if a kid is exploring in a backyard and happens to be at the wrong place and wrong time? What’s scarier than a killer bee attack?

Thanks to all who sent word… La Boulange Cafe in Walnut Creek has been closed less than a month but coming soon is Los Angeles-based Lemonade, serving “seasonal California comfort food”. More information in this Business Times article. Check out their “early fall 2015” southern California menu here.
From their Facebook page:
The concept is best described as Seasonal California Comfort Food in a fast-casual cafeteria setting. A comfortable place where locals and visitors enjoy a rotating daily spread of deliciousness: from ruggedly roasted Brussels sprouts to grain salads from around the world to stewed short ribs falling off the bone. Our dishes stress simple preparations with global taste, and are a perfect fit for today’s on-the-go lifestyle and perceptive palate.
Lemonade caters to people looking for a quick lunch or a healthy “grab and go” dinner for the family. The cafés have an emphasis on convenience and affordability, while serving the same fresh, high-quality, and innovative modern cuisine that the brand has become known for.
The food at Lemonade is as creative and diverse as the city’s inhabitants. Our marketplace salads, unique sandwiches, and slow-simmered stews taste as though every culture stirred a bit into the pot. For example, the skirt steak with grilled onions and piquillo peppers with its smoky depth, ping-pongs perfectly with our snappy salad of Chinese long beans, pluot plums, and scallion vinaigrette.
Based on the comments left on this Sign of the Day post, congrats to Rob with:
