hi everybody, thanks so much for joining us this morning. it's wednesday, march 27th. >> let's get started. >> the whole bridge just fell down. just -- started whoever -- to everybody. the whole bridge just collapsed. >> you can hear the panicked moments after baltimore's francis scott ski bridge crumbles. a community in mourning with the rescue transition to recovery. that's another advantage to california. because of the earthquakes, we've had to design our bridges so they can absorb energy. >> the baltimore collapse might have you concerned about our bay area bridges. experts calm your fears.

i think now we really are like valued and appreciated for helping people express who they really are and finding other people like them. >> changing the dating game and the search for a special someone. an opportunity to find love in the lgbtq community. and the mega millions run is finally over. a winning ticket for the jackpot. but don't lose hope. you have another chance tonight to live out your lottery dreams. >> there's always a chance. right? i'm gianna franco. thank you for joining us. it's wednesday, we are halfway through the workweek. >> i'm reed cowan and just this much resentful. >> are you? >> yeah. you know, i'm like new jersey. >> oh. >> but always happy for the winner in van nuys a little more than a million dollars. >> that's cool. there was a little bit of a california win there. let's go live outside right now on this wednesday morning. and we are -- well, we have our tippy toes on the edge of what is the middle of the week. we have finally made it. and paul, it's so nice to have you filling in this week while jess is serving our country doing some training welcome back my

friend. wow. i love your jacket and you brought it up from fancy l. a. >> yeah. maybe a little more southern california. you are right. well, we're bringing down some rainfall from the other direction and today is going to be the transition back to a more unsettled pattern. the good news is the morning commute here in and around san francisco is likely to be mainly dry. i'm tracking the rainfall but we're tracking the trail well to the north of san francisco right now. we're talking humboldt county. that's where it's going stay for the next few hours. santa rosa, your rain chances begin to increase around 11:00 and 12:00. couple of things to point out. one, lack of sunshine today in the north bay and two, we're looking at that temperature profile being about 10 to 12 degrees cooler than yesterday. mid 50s. that's it for you in santa rosa today. winter storm warning in the sierra will go into effect at 11:00 a.m. this morning. widespread snowfall totals of 6

to 12 inches but the higher peaks maybe 1 to 2 feet of snowfall in the sierrament let's talk about temperatures today. even in rain this afternoon or this evening and some of you in the south and east bay you have to wait that long. look at the highs not that warm. oakland 62 and san francisco 60 and much cooler than yesterday at antioch at 70 and now 60. san jose a high today of 67. you may not have any rain until 6:00, 7:00 this evening but rain is moving in from the north as we speak. let's see how the roads are doing as the roads are still dry. here's gianna. good afternoon. the fact they're dry will certainly help for the morning commute but we know that changes things. here's a live look at the golden gate bridge and they have yet to do the lane changes adding that one extra lane for commuters heading southbound into san francisco. but quiet here, quiet at the bay bridge. easy commute into san francisco so

far from either bridges, no delays there. westbound 80 also looking pretty good. and in fact, we're off to a fairly calm and quiet start. we'll check on the altamont pass commute coming up in the next report. reed? all right, we're thinking about this. baltimore this morning. we're closely following the wreckage of the francis scott key bridge. we've just learned that investigators from the national transportation safety board are looking at that crash cargo ship and they have recovered the data record device. it comes as divers do the work of recovering the bodies of six construction workers presumed dead. this video still defies understanding and watch this. it's the moment that container ship hit the bridge and then within seconds, total failure. total collapse of that bridge. and you know, tens of thousands of people have seen this video and they know that used to be the way nay got to work. they got to school. and so many are echoing what maryland's governor said yesterday. losing bridge is a shock. >> whole bridge just fell down. start -- whoever to everybody.

the whole bridge just collapsed. >> people like that want to understand how this happened. so here's what we know this morning. that container ship lost power and was adrift in the patapsco river and sounding mayday alarms just before it happened. police heard that and they quickly stopped traffic from going onto the bridge, but it was little help for those who were already on the bridge. as it collapsed just seconds after that cargo collision. two survivors pulled successfully from the water and six others this morning presumed dead and missing. their families watching at the water's edge. >> i can't imagine how painful today has been for these families. >> yesterday, at this time, we used the word "rescue" and overnight that word turned to recovery. tragically it's a mess there in baltimore for drivers this morning as the entire busy port remains closed and you know in the bay area we feel this story because we are a bridge dependent community. the key bridge serves about the

same number of cars each day as the richmond-san rafael bridge and we often see container and cruise ship traffic all the time near the golden gate bridge and bay bridges and chances are somebody who watches our traffic in the area every one of us crossing bridges the last 24 hours felt a little bit of anxiety. and even vulnerability. could this happen here. >> absolutely. if you remember, reed, the old bay bridge actually took a big -- couple of big hits in fact in the span of six years. in 2007, the cosco busan slammed into a bridge support tour ripping gash in the side of the ship that spilled 52,000 gallons of oil into the bay. in 2013 minor damage when it struck a bridge tower because of heavy fog in the area. both times of course the bridge stood its ground and caltrans sells our wilson walker that's by design. >> reporter: that is the most seismically advanced bridge

ever designed. >> the eastern span of the bay bridge. >> reporter: caltrans bart talking about the first line of defense on the new bay bridge and that's the fender system that you see here and while this one is unique to the tower foundation of the eastern span, there's something like this on every bridge in the bay area. >> so some of those systems have completely different foundations. so they never actually touched the bridge. other bridges have the fenders designed into their foundations so they're designed to actually crumple and absorb the energy. >> reporter: i imagine as people travel around the bay area, they're going to see some different engineering. but it's all doing the same thing. >> that's 100% correct because it's almost bridge zoo in the bay area. gets so and different types of bridges. depending on where you are at the fender system has been designed for that particular bridge. >> yesterday's operations we're hampered by a reduced visibility. >> the problem we really had with the illusions that we've

seen has been when oil tankers hit them. the ships take the damage, not the bridge. >> reporter: you pick it up and it's just that -- consistency of that -- of that goo. >> reporter: in this respect the cosco busan spill is evidence the fender system san work but what about the circumstances as we understand them in baltimore? with the large ship landing a direct hit at pretty good speed. >> again, so that impact is being reported at being about 8 knots. and which is significant for a ship of that size. but has we seen something like that here in one of our bay bridges, the fender systems are designed to withstand that. >> reporter: it's not just the fenders. all of the bay's bridges have been retrofitted some several times over. so they all have an added factor of resilience in the event of a collision. >> so that's another advantage to california. because of the earthquakes, we've had to design our bridges so they can

absorb energy. so even if you get the bridge actually being touched, all of our bridges have got the ability to move a little bit. but the idea really is, is not to have a vessel hit the structure. >> well, the key bridge collapse is not expected to impact the port of oakland but could cause disruptions in the supply chain since right now the port of baltimore is blocked. one of the busiest on the east coast. president biden says the federal government will pay to rebuild the bridge. coming up at 6:30. jarred hill will join us with an update on the bridge collapse. he'll be live in maryland and continue to update you on the story on air and online at kpix.com and of course on the free cbs news app. well, good morning to our friends in oakland looking live at the city there. after more than a year without a permanent police chief finally a chance to meet the man tapped to replace leronne armstrong. a man to know his name well. floyd mitchell. the new top cop and front and center at city hall as the boss. mitchell

[ cheering and applause ] >> this city will always have a special place in my heart. you know, i grew up just a few miles from this very spot. >> you heard from her. that's nicole shanahan. who was a lawyer and tech entrepreneur based in san francisco. she's

really be a safe space. but when it comes to dating, it's still a little intimidating to meet someone here on that first day basis right? that's why many people are looking to online apps and the her app is doing that for a growing community within this neighborhood. and other places. it is now available in more than 100 countries and it is available in five different languages and it's reaching 13 million users. for almost a decade, the search for that special someone has taken robin exton on a path of personal discovery and professional success. >> it's been incredible. it's been -- a journey and a labor of love. >> reporter: as a queer woman looking to meet new people she tried dating the conventional way but robin eventually found herself wanting to connect with others as well. >> i just started kind of exploring my sexuality six months prior and i spent a lot of times in bars and nightclubs

meeting people. barrings and nightclubs aren't the best place to actually have a conversation. >> reporter: mostly for straight people with apps available at the time and any options for the lgbtq community didn't seem to consider what users like robin were looking for. >> all truly built for gay men and just make it pink and go this is great. this will work for lesbians and it was like a completely different experience and completely different type of product. >> reporter: robin created the app with the experience she had in mind. she says her is a sappic dating app. sappic is a term that includes queer women as well as nonbinary and transgender people. offering more ways to be yourself like providing pins that go beyond someone's sexual orientation or gender identity. it's one more way people can stand out and show their personality. which helps users to find others like them. >> i think now we really are like valued and appreciated for helping people express who they really are and finding other people like them. >> reporter: her is an app led

by a queer woman and run by a team mostly made up of lgbtq staff. robin hopes the company is yet another example of why representation matters for her community, not only in tech, but also the corporate world in general. and while the app tries to be inclusive of all age groups, robin receive sees the potential for a major shift in dating with gen z. a change to greatly benefit her with an increase in the number of people who identify as queer. >> we are a significant demographic that is growing hugely amongst younger people and so telling our stories and showcasing the value of this community and this audience as well as the businesses that operate too serve this community, is really impactful. >> reporter: so with all that growth comes some growing pains. they are always looking to get more new users on the app. and they are thinking about how it can be a more meaningful experience perhaps little the number of conversations you have have other users at any given time

but robin is excited about the future and she hopes to follow in the footsteps of another lgbtq app by becoming a publicly traded company. in the next five years. guys, back to you. >> i have a feeling that rhymes with grindr. thank you so much. shawn chitnis. and that's the halveway through the workweek hump and we're almost up over the hump, gianna. >> yes we are and you know what's going to make it more difficult though is fact that we have a little wet weather that might i guess put a little bit of a damper on your commute throughout the day. hey paul. >> especially the evening commute. it's going to be pretty soggy. if i told you the end of the extended forecast has sunshine and temperatures in the 70s it might make what i'm about to say more digestible because we're going back to the rainy pattern. the cloud cover in petaluma. mid

40s. novato 46 and san francisco cloudy and 52 and you are tied with oakland this morning and you are five degrees warmer than concord and antioch at 50 and half-moon bay 48 degrees and good morning to you in the tri-valley where it's 46. it is 47 degrees right now in san jose. so it's a mild morning. but that's because the cloud cover is out there. let's take a look at this chart right here. rain chances over the next several days and obviously the higher the chart gets, we leave the isolated category and get into scattered and widespread and likely this evening. it's likely again on friday and it's likely again on saturday and things begin to clear out coming up again on sunday. here's a look at live first alert doppler. it is now raining to the oregon border and crescent city and not raining even in fort bragg and points south yet. the rain has some work to do. the front has a little real estate to cover where it is right now and san francisco and oakland and san jose. but it will get here later today this morning however, is dry. there's the storm. you can clearly see the

counterclockwise swirl about due west of portland, oregon. at the storm track will carry it into the bay area. moving in from north to south later on today. let's time it out for you. clouds everywhere this morning. but rain only moving into sonoma county and mendocino county by 10:30 this morning. scattered showers in marin and napa county between 10:00 and 2:00. when does it get into the interstate 80 corridor? the bay bridge. san francisco and oakland. right in the middle of the evening commute. that's when the rain begins and only takes light rain to cause an issue. this is the wettest hour of the entire day. 9:00 tonight. widespread rain. pockets of steady rainfall and then the front moves through. but we move into an environment where we're between weather systems and thursday will be a day where you are going to get sunshine at times. you are also going to get showers at times. here's a look at thursday morning. late morning into early afternoon, scattered showers, but also some breaks between the cloud cover. so just plan on that rain being out there from time to time. now i mentioned the

end of the extended forecast. that looks great. look at next tuesday. i know it's only wednesday. look at next tuesday. 71 degrees with sunshine early next week looks very spring like. however, the next several days do look pretty wet today's high 62 and thursday, just some scattered showers and the two really wet days are friday and saturday. the optimistic view gets the rain out of here by sunrise in those easter egg hunts coming up on sunday and next week is looking milder and sunnier and drier. that's your forecast now look at the roads with gianna. >> never so excited to see a tuesday with some sun. all right, going to get through some of the wet weather especially later on today. as you drive around the bay area so be extra careful and this morning, it's not so bad. so far, so good right now. especially making the ride out of marin county heading towards the golden gate bridge. very smooth commute as you head into the city. over towards the bay bridge toll plaza, metering lights are still off and that's good news. and things are very quiet for that ride over into san francisco this morning. not tracking a lot of brake lights or issues and in

fact, scale of 1 to 5. a 1. look at in. lots of green on the sensors. no delays along the peninsula and everything looking pretty quiet coming off the eastshore freeway. now here's the one spot where we're seeing a few hiccups this morning. no crashes. but good morning to all our supercommuters making the ride out of tracy westbound getting on to 580. slow speeds. 11 miles per hour right at the connector on to 580 and then slow towards north flynn. plan for brake lights as you head through that area. reed? somebody in california struck a small pot of gold in the mega millions draw. not the big prize. who won big and where? and the winner in california who hit it small. but still

looking live at baltimore, maryland. people there reeling after a bridge breakdown. families waiting at water's edge in what's now a recovery mission looking for the bodies of six construction workers who plunged to their deaths when a cargo ship caused that bridge to fall into the icy river below. let's go live to maryland and jarred hill. jarred. it's a somber day there in baltimore. >> reporter: it is, reed. as you mentioned, this has gone from a rescue mission overnight to recovery mission as we are waiting on crews to give some sort of update on whether they've been able to recover the bodies of those six construction workers. who are presumed dead in this river all the while this community is now searching for answers. in the shadow of the mangled metal that wasn't was baltimore's francis scott key bridge. a community in mourning. >> amen. >> we appreciate each and every one of you for coming together with us. as we hold those families most importantly, in

prayer. >> reporter: the crossing collapsed early tuesday when cargo ship hit a support cool up. >> the whole bridge just fell down. start -- start -- whoever to everybody. the whole bridge just collapsed. >> reporter: the sound jolting neighbors out of their sleep. >> it felt just like an earthquake. >> reporter: the search for six missing workers was suspended as night fell. the water deemed too cold in the effort too long for anyone to survive. >> i can't imagine how painful today has been for these families. >> reporter: sources tell cbs news multiple alarms sound on the ship after it lost power and probulge. the pilot issued a mayday call giving law enforcement just enough time to stop anyone else from driving on the bridge. the national transportation safety board is leading the investigation into just what happened. and that includes examining any past safety problems with the ship. >> that is part of our investigation. where we look at indeath penalty at safety information and anything that may have occurred prior to this. >> reporter: several engineers say it doesn't appear the chance was the result of infrastructure problems with

the bridge. >> once the bridge was struck, by container ship of that size, there's not a bridge that we build, you know, that it's any level of economy and efficiency that is going to survive that. >> reporter: now the busy port of baltimore is closed to shipping until all the debris is removed from the water. the governor of maryland says this bridge will be rebuilt in honor of the lives that were lost. but when that happens, is still unknown. the focus right now is going to be on opening back up the port of baltimore. a huge economic engine in this part of the country. meanwhile, reed, we've been out here all morning through the dark, but as the sun started to come up we got our first glimpse at the bridge itself. behind me you can see the flashing arrow that's where it should be. it's amazing to see this and just to think about the fact that at least two people were able to survive that fall. back to you. >> just amazing that they were able to survive. and our thoughts with the coast guard who's been out there and also with so many commuters who were

having to reroute their travel this morning. no doubt a traffic he is there in baltimore. jarred hill, thank you so much for your live report. you know. this isn't just a story on the other side of the country. everybody wholis here in the bay area knows that we are a bridge dependent community. and that has brought a lot of anxieties here where we live right? >> yeah. lot of people are probably thinking about this daily now and luckily bay area agencies have a plan reed. every year they also invest in making all the bridges safer so drivers cankerous over them with the little peace of mind. amanda hari has the details. >> reporter: captivating footage of what's left behind of the francis scott key memorial bridge. a baltimore landmark, crumpled into pieces after a cargo ship crushed the bridge early tuesday morning. >> i'm not an engineer. but that -- just looked like this is the worst case scenario. >> reporter: john goodwin with the metropolitan transportation commission says he's lived and worked in the bay area for

decades. the tragedy had him flashingback to 2007. when the cosco busan hit a tower of the bay bridge, while the container ship was damaged, the bay bridge maintained its structural integrity. he says nearly two decades later, they continue to work on improving protecting the bay bridge and the rest of the bridges. >> the bay area is seeking a grant from the u.s. department of transportation to upgrade the fender system on the bay area bridges. what -- sufficiently known as the ship collision protection system. >> reporter: that would be in approximately $167 million upgrade to the bridges. goodwin says these protections would hopefully protect local bridges from collapsing like the bridge in baltimore. but ultimately, there's only so much they can prepare for. >> we can do planning for a lot of different scenarios. but reality has a way of coming out

one step ahead of preparation. >> reporter: similar cargo ships like the one in baltimore pass under the bay bridge every day. an incident would be an all hands on-deck situation. the state's office of emergency services would activate units from california highway patrol, caltrans, and many others, including the water emergency transportation authority. >> we prepare for incidents and we have exercises on a regular basis. not just us an agency but all the captains and deck hands undergo rigorous training. >> reporter: thomas hall with weta says the ferry system would shut down to utilize the boats in any way that would help. >> provide emergency water transit if any of the bridges or other transbay transportation systems are disabled. >> reporter: both organizations are constantly working to create better safety plans and keep their crews ready for

anything that could happen. but goodwin says he understands that the community may still be concerned after what happened in baltimore. >> even things that happen very, very rarely do sometimes happen. >> well, we'll continue to update you on the baltimore bridge collapse on air and online and at kpix.com and the free cbs news app. let's get our steps in this morning at 5:35 and climb to the top of the mark and look west. that is a view of a city waking up and good morning to everybody. and good morning to paul. we want to keep you in the bay area, paul, any chance that we can get you to just come right on up? >> i love it here and you know what? call anytime. as long as the good folks in southern california are willing to lend me, i'll come up every week. this is home. my wife is from oakland. >> nice. >> this -- this has always been home. and we have a lot of family in the south bay as well. so love talking about this weather. it feels like -- it's like one of your favorite shirts. i love this shirt.

let's look live outside and talk about what we have going on for today. these are your current temperatures for some of you it's warmer than yesterday. why? well, it's because you have a blanket of cloud cover over top of you like you put a blanket on the kids to keep them warm overnight. mother nature did that for us, temperatures mainly in the 40s and 47 in san jose and oakland you are 52. san francisco 52 and in the north bay, you are in the 30s yesterday. because you had clear skies and you didn't have the blanket. this morning you are in the 40s and i'm looking at 45 in petaluma. and 46 degrees in novato. so it is a quite mild outside this morning. problem is we're not going to warm up because we have a storm coming in. here it is on the first alert doppler. it's way up in far northern california. it's close as about humboldt county. it's going to take several hours to get here. but when it gets here, we're talking about rain for the afternoon and this evening. your neighborhood forecast for san francisco. one thing is consistent today. cloud cover. it's going to be cloudy all day long. you may be waiting for the rain even until

hostages. after federal agents stormed with guns at the homes of p. diddy in a suspected sex trafficking investigation, lawyers for the musician say the raids were excessive and a gross misuse of military level force. these are the scenes his lawyers are complaining about. homeland security agents with guns and both of diddy's homes one in l. a. and one in miami. we don't know if the raid have any connection to a series of lawsuits accusing combs of serious sexual misconduct. combs' lawyer adamant his client is innocent. artificial intelligence seen as the new california gold rush. apple wants a bite. more on a developers' conference paving the way to a new territory. but before we head to break, let's take a live look from oracle park. can you believe we are just

right now at the home of the giants. oracle park hosted the a's for the final exhibition match-up ahead of opening day which by the way, is tomorrow friends. so get ready for a little bit of baseball action coming our yay. well, it was a bittersweet last night. standing ovations for pablo sandoval before, during and after the game. it may well have been the 2012 world series mvp's last game in a giants' uniform here at oracle. the panda says he's not retiring. uh-huh. and he's happy to start the season in triple-a this weekend. if possible, sandoval's chances of making the giants' opening day roster pretty much gone though after the team signed all-star third baseman matt chapman. but it was fitting end as he singled in his last at-bat and also highlight a's' right fielder lawrence butler. let's talk about the 6th inning there. giants superstar closer served up a slider inside and low and butler blacked it off the

bricks for a victory. again it's exhibition game don't worry. the giants really have a chance to make a playoff push despite the strong division they're in. they begin the season tomorrow in san diego pinning logan webb against yu darvish. first pitch 1:10. meanwhile the a's will break open their season at home tomorrow. at the coliseum. they'll host the cleveland guardians and oakland's newest veteran lefty alex wood will take the mound against ace shane bieber. the evening game and first pitch is just after 7:00. so i'm ready for a little bit baseball and you know, paul, you had a jump-start on this season. when in town head to oracle. how was the game last night. >> what's better than seeing one of the local teams? both local teams playing each other. it was great and obviously oracle one of the best ballparks in the entire country. i saw both teams and here's a weather connection to this. all the west coast teams, the padres, angels, dodgers and a's and giants have the lowest

rainout rate of any major league baseball teams. >> only you would know that. >> all the west coast games might be rained out on friday and saturday. even san diego. >> no. >> even in los angeles. and of course the a's hosting the guardians. >> that's the intersection of sports and weather masterfully done. >> well done. >> bring it together. i wish rainout you know, now that we're in baseball season, let's get rid of the rainouts and for those of you who coach little league, this is not going to be a great weekend of course most games not happening because of easter. but this is not the weather that you would want to see regardless of time of year. first alert doppler, it's still north of fort bragg and there's a lot of real estate to cover between getting that rain where it is right now and down into even sonoma county. it's going to take a few hours for that to happen but trust me it's coming and then later on today even san jose will get the rainfall by this evening. here's a look at your forecast for concord today. you likely won't see rain until after 3:00. but you are already mostly cloudy and will stay cloudy throughout the morning and early afternoon. 60 degrees at 1:00. and we'll

level off right around 60 degrees for you. two storms coming. the first one is the one i just showed you on the radar, that's the one that's closer to us and will give us light to moderate rain today. that storm number two. couple of things about that. one, it's tapping more into some rich tropical moisture. so it's going to be wetter and two it's going to last longer. so heavier rainfall rates for a longer period of time. that's easy math. it's going to give us more rainfall. it's going to last friday and saturday, perhaps even sunday morning. some scattered showers, but storm number one is something we can track with high confidence on futurecast. rain moving into sonoma county by about 10:30 this morning. scattered showers throughout mid-afternoon. as we roll through the evening is when the front actually begins to cross south of interstate 80. going south of the bay bridge and then now moving into the east bay. the peninsula. and the south bay. right around 9:00 where it's going to be raining almost everywhere. then that front sags to the south into the sacramento valley and central california and we're

left with what we used to call scattered showers mode. not clearing out. but it's also not crazy soggy and we'll have that on thursday. lots of sunshine on thursday. lots of sun breaks. but also a number of showers as well. so please watch out for that. it's going to be pretty soggy coming up on thursday. high temperatures today are going to be held down by the fact that we are going to have all this cloud cover. we're looking at 63 in redwood city. and a high in fremont of 64 and tri-valley. low 60s. you were close to 70 yesterday. oakland only 62. san francisco, low 60s. probably not even hitting 60 degrees in places like novato and petaluma and you get up towards mendocino county you may not get warmer than 55 degrees today. so the temperature profile is trending downward because the amount of sunshine is also trending downward. here's a look at your extended forecast. and it is going to be quite soggy. today. rain moving in this afternoon and this evening. we're in-between weather

systems on thursday. just know there will be some scattered showers out there. but also a few sun breaks. here's storm number two. friday, 59 degrees and rain. saturday, 61 degrees and rain. if we're really optimistic and if the storm decides to get out of here on time, easter sunday would be dry right now we'rekeeping at least a couple of showers in the forecast. i think you are going to love this part. early next week back to the 60s and 70s with full sunshine by next monday and next tuesday. that's your forecast. here's gianna. good morning. good morning, thank you. let's talk about in freeways ridges this morning. and going to kick this off this time around with a live look here at the bay bridge which is already getting busy as you head westbound. the brake lights building eastshore freeway getting crowded and westbound 580 north 880 to the maze actually looking okay. but once you get to the point that's where the brake lights start to slow down. and as you head near the area near that incline area, as you work your way up towards the bay bridge on the upper deck, that's where it really starts to get pretty slow. and crowded. so it's

happening. it's starting to slow down a little bit. grab the coffee and get going as you hit the freeways. overall most of the freeways look okay. but i want to zoom in here on an area as you head towards the dublin interchange. this morning, westbound 580 right at el charro road. there's a crash blocking at least one lane and look at the backup there. it's pretty slow at least to isabel right to 84. so definitely going to need some extra time there. busy anyway coming into the altamont pass this morning. time right now 5:50. a new lease on life. former inmates given another second chance emergen-c crystals pop and fizz when you throw them back. and who doesn't love a good throwback?
