Looking for some weekend reading? Look no further than these links we thought were worth sharing this week:

From around Texas:
Pretty much every part of the state has been rained on the last couple weeks! While that’s good news for our drought, it’s less good news for those who are dealing with flooding. Our hearts go out especially to those who’ve lost family members in the flash floods, and we remind everyone to be safe and heed the warnings as the rain contiues. In the meantime, if you want to go for a ride during non-flood condition rain, take a look at these excellent tips from Bike East Bay.
We’re sad to report that 15-year-old Dakota Sorensen was killed while riding a bike earlier this week. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dakota’s family and friends.
