☁️ mostly sunny · high 80°, low 60°
Monday lines up around free creative workshops in libraries: watercolor for adults in Los Altos at 7, waacking in Sunnyvale at 6:30, and tie-dye library bags in Los Gatos at 3. On the news side, mental-health advocates are pushing Santa Clara County to keep its suicide prevention team funded. Mostly sunny, 80 for the high.
