One of the items on my "Summer Pandemic To-Do List" was to have dinner on the patio at Oleana. Oleana regularly makes the Top 50 Restaurants in the Country list. Getting reservations at Oleana under normal circumstances is really hard. It's even harder during a pandemic. Lucky for us, I was able to get a reservation for us last night. Our table was on their new "parking spots" patio and not their back patio. The back patio is absolutely beautiful and a real treat but they've done a nice job creating a peaceful space with patterned carpets, Edison bulbs, and greenery. The only down side, other than it's not the back patio, is that it's right up against the bike lane and every so often a bike rider would zip by us.
It was also the first time that we went out for a non "Early Bird" dinner. Typically we head to patios pretty early to avoid any crowds that may develop. Since it's so hard to get a spot at Oleana we took the 7:45 time slot and hoped for the best. It was so nice to eat under the lights. The food was beautifully crafted and this sparkling wine was really delicious. (Side note- as delicious as Oleana was, I think I actually prefer Moona.)
Dinner at Oleana was a nice way to escape the dumpster fire that is currently engulfing our country.
I mean, the NCAA is making a lot of sense with their stance on sports. (When does the NCAA lead the way on the moral high ground?)
The complete destruction of the post office is pretty hard to take. It's just blatant cheating!
And it's not really a sign of a functioning democracy when an athlete has to "sponsor" a new polling place to prevent voter suppression efforts by our president. (Don't get me wrong, this is a stand up move by LeBron but he shouldn't have to save our democracy.)
