Well robin things just and your forecast today we enjoyed a pleasant one yesterday with increasingly calm winds today we stay calm. The one downside of that is we do have some haze hanging out across the bay as you can see here from sun oil, a spare the air alert is in effect today. So for those of you having trick or treating plans. And maybe the kids have to have some respiratory issues just keep that in mind as you step outside 40s and 50s for most temperatures in the bay this morning, although a couple of areas in the north bay Still Holding on to the 30s like petaluma and say holy know right now on sale in especially cool at 33 degrees. Winds have calmed down yesterday they remained calm this morning and thats where theyre going to stay no major wind events ahead in the forecast that feels really good to say 70s for your daytime highs today Hayward Fremont oakland each at 72, while San Francisco antioch in livermore each at 71 degrees today, taking a look at tomorrow a little bit warmer and noticeably warmer yet saturday and sunday we do remain in the 70s though all through this forecast as for sunday morning we will be falling back an hour.

Im im getting a lot of people ask me about the stock and right tell you is a for the stock its too much drama, theres too much going on great article in the New York Times yesterday was a long article is about a 10 minute feed. Basically they highlight the fire victims in the hedge funds in the Public Officials all wanting a big stake and how the giant utility the chai test utility united plays out in their bankruptcy. P gs facing billion in liabilities theres a multibillion dollar will last a wildfire for that kick in and take their liabilities off next year to next years easy buy the stock.

With that said San Francisco on to buy the power lines themselves inside a proper San Francisco from pga. San jose wants to a coop inside of san jose where its not really made for profit. But pg es like ah thats not going to work because in places like truckee lake tahoe, theyre not to be a part because their last leaders are tied towards temperatures going san jose making everything all good ground for them so to speak its its complicated and messy times did a great job. You know what else got messy is when they black out. Hoods ninehole counties.
