On Sunday, a plane set to take off from the Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport was driven off the pavement on the way to a runway, prompting the evacuation of passengers on board. According to an airline spokeswoman, there were 109 passengers and six staff members on the Avelo Airlines flight, and no injuries were reported in the incident. The flight was headed for the Hollywood Burbank airport in Los Angeles County. (The Press Democrat)

Doing a "Dry January" or just looking for a flavorful alternative to regular cocktails? Here's a suggestion: try a non-alcoholic drink from our partners at Betera. Created by an award-winning chef from natural botanicals, Betera’s drinks come in 3 flavors — Ginger-Orange, Elderflower-Lime and Rhubarb-Hibiscus. We tried Ginger-Orange, and it was excellent — lightly effervescent, floral with a hint of bitterness and the sippability of a cocktail.
Betera is offering readers of the Daily a 15% discount on their first order: use PATCH15 at checkout. Highly recommended — you can try Betera here.
