National Fentanyl Awareness Day Carlsbad Library, 1775 Dove Lane, Carlsbad, CA 92011, 6 to 7:45 p.m. Did you Know: Social Media: Drug Trafficking Threat How it Works: Drug traffickers have turned smartphones into a one-stop shop to market, sell, buy, and deliver deadly, fake prescription pills and other dangerous drugs. In just three steps, deadly drugs can be purchased and delivered to your home just like any other good or service. ONE-STOP SHOP Drug traffickers advertise on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube. These advertisements are in disappearing, 24-hour stories and in posts, which are promptly posted and removed. Posts and stories are often accompanied by known code words and emojis that are used to market and sell illicit and deadly drugs on social media. These code words and emojis are designed to evade detection by law enforcement and by the preset algorithms used by social media platforms.

The San Diego Automotive Museum (SDAM) will be hosting its monthly Cars & Coffee community event on Sunday, December 18, from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. This is an exciting way to get outside on Sunday at beautiful Balboa Park and see cars of all makes and models while enjoying coffee and donuts courtesy of Donald Sewell from GEICO. The community is invited to visit the Museum during Cars & Coffee for a discounted admission price ($10 before 10 a.m.) or partake in the completely free event outside with coffee and donuts (while supplies last) for guests to enjoy while browsing the wide array of vehicles. The public is also invited to bring their own cars to display in the parking lot for other spectators to enjoy. Car owners are encouraged to decorate their “sleigh” and Santa will be there to pick his favorite. The Elusive Luxuries: Supercars and the Thrill of the Chase Exhibit is on display until January 8, 2022. These supercars combine technical sophistication, exotic looks, high-top speed, quick acceleration, and a commanding presence, offering drivers unique and exhilarating experiences. Rare, exclusive, and expensive, supercars feature far more power and performance improvements than are necessary for everyday motoring, yet this very impracticality only heightens their appeal. Some featured vehicles include 1966 Bizzarrini P538, a 1982 Lamborghini Countach, a 2012 Lamborghini Aventador, a 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago, and the 1953 Bentley Mark VI Graber Drophead Coupé that won Best of Class at Pebble Beach this year. Future Cars & Coffee events are generally held on the third Sunday of each month. Please check the Museum’s website for the most up-to-date event information.
