☀️ sunny · high 99°, low 64°
It's a genuinely hot one, 99 and sunny, so today rewards getting outside early and taking the afternoon indoors. The evening is where it pays off: Willie Nelson and Family play the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, with an author talk in Mountain View, a queer climbing night in San Jose, and seventy young performers putting on Moana Jr. in Santa Clara all going at once.
Today's field guide
Get the trail done early, then head indoors
Walk the Deer Hollow Farm loop in Cupertino while the morning is still cool and the effort stays easy. From there the day leans indoors and unhurried: Greek plates on El Camino Real in Santa Clara, an afternoon reset in Sunnyvale, and Persian dinner in San Jose.
