This weekend the weather is forecast to be cool and may bring some rain to our days. If virtual is the way the go because of that, we’ve got you covered. If getting outside is still in the cards, try heading to a farmer’s market or hit one of the restaurants re-opening with limited capacity from the lifting of tiers in some Bay Area counties. Whatever card you pick, may it be an ace of a weekend!
