FROM Bryan Davis
To the Point
The Most Hated Man in the Distillery Industry? Wired magazine recently profiled a Northern California distiller under the headline, " This Guy Says He Can Make 20-year Old Rum in 6 days ." It turns out, experts say he can. When you belly up to the bar, you won't be ordering "oak catalyzed esterification," but you might get Rum that's been made by that process. And you're likely to think it's taken 20 years to distill when, in fact, it's been "aged" for just six days. Bryan Davis doesn't even use barrels. He's got a machine in the garage. He's also co-founder of the Lost Spirits Distillery in Monterey, California.

California catastrophe The fires rage on in our own backyard, and in Northern California, encompassing tens of thousands of acres each. In L-A and Ventura Counties, the Woolsey Fire has scorched everything in its path. To the north, in Butte County, the Camp Fire has charred and destroyed even more acreage, of trees, brush and everything else, north of Sacramento, and the town of Paradise is a scene of utter devastation and heartbreak.

As the 70,000-seat stadium site takes shape, the city around it is anticipating big changes -- some welcome and some worrisome.
