Gear and rolled in the masters film program at sf state and started taking Video Production jobs, including one in oakland two weeks ago. So ive just been driving through downtown and i was like, isnt oakland beautiful . Like, i love oakland. Justin thought he had done enough to hide the gear in the trunk of his rented tesla while he had lunch on broadway. Just across from the ymca. But when he came out to find this window, shattered his camera lenses and drone gone in. Justin had just bought the gear and hadnt had time to insure it. I like literally felt like the pit of my stomach drop. I knew that the equipment wasnt insured and so to have it gone so soon after, like buying it just was devastating. Usually in these cases, its smash grab and gone. You have little chance of retrieving your property. But justin had hidden tracking devices inside his gear. Cases and on a phone app. He watched the criminals travel from oakland into San Francisco. You know, it was on post street, right . And its literally moving. Hes on the phone with a San Francisco Police Officer when he sees his camera gear arrive at this location in the 300 block of leavenworth. And he goes, oh, yeah, thats a known major fencing operation. Everybody in the bay area knows that they can bring their stolen goods and offload them there. Think about that. But thats what he said, that is what the officer said to me on the phone. Justin used to live in the area and he knows it well. And its a block and a half not even a block and a half from the Tenderloin Police station. How are you not raiding that place on a daily basis . I had the same question. So i walked by the location of the alleged fencing operation to the Tenderloin Police station and called its captain, sergio chen. He did not return my messages. I reached an sfpd spokesperson who would not comment on the leavenworth site, but emailed at this time, we cannot disclose any information on the location you referred to based on possible ongoing investigations. I also checked with the supervisor for this district, dean preston, not only about the possible fencing operation, but also about this mess that has taken over part of the street and sidewalk. He said he didnt have time for an interview, but texted. Our office has repeatedly engaged departments about the various challenges on the 300 block of leavenworth, and our understanding is that this block is part of a joint Field Operation that includes very departments and the sfpd. The city has made no noticeable real progress. Just yesterday day, preston chaired a committee about the car break ins and updated an anti fencing reward program set up by mayor breed two years ago. It offers up to 100,000 for information leading to an arrest of those dealing in stolen goods. Preston said no money ever has been paid out as part of the rewards program. But its also, i think, important to circle back and look at whats working, what isnt frustrate ing times for justin shuck some one who lived in oakland and now calls San Francisco home. I mean, i honestly think its time for new leadership at every level because this has gone on long enough and im sick and tired and im sick and tired. This incident might have been recorded on the ymca surveillance cameras and justin asked them and the police to save it. I started asking questions about it. And today the ymca reported that the video has been recorded over even though we asked they didnt save it in time. Thats larry then. Thats incredible. And its so wild that Everybody Knows its this open market for selling this stuff and its still operates before we let you go, how are you doing after the attack on sunday with your arm . Oh, i appreciate you asking a little achy, you know, and thats a whole separate story. And if people want to know more about what happened, thats all on my social media. But you had a few weeks to go with this. Then it looks like a couple of months, maybe three months. Yeah. And of course, the worst part is its surfing season now. I know. No surfing for down for the count for a bit. Youll be good. Well, i would advise people to check out your video on twitter because its really compelling and it shook me up. Yeah. Because it could happen to anybody at any time. Just being attacked randomly. So i appreciate. Kerry. Take care. Thank you. Thanks dan. All right. You can get the full picture of Public Safety in your area with our abc7 news neighborhood safety tracker shows you a wide range of stats for San Francisco, oakland and san jose and youll find it on the front page at abc7 news. Com. All right. Now to developing news that you are well aware of our poor air quality because of wildfires burning near the oregon border. Its sticking around longer than we originally thought. Theres another spare the air alert for tomorrow. Thats our fourth day in a row. And of course abc7 news meteorologist sanjay patel is tracking the conditions. Sandy the weekend is upon us. Any relief in sight here . We will get some relief on sunday. Okay dan and larry, let me show you a live picture right now. I know its really hard to breathe out there and burning eyes, scratchy throat, all those things. The view from downtown oakland, from emeryville, camera pretty much is a hazy, smoky view you extended. Is that spare the air alert because the poor air quality for parts of the bay area is going to hang around tomorrow. But you will notice its moderate elsewhere and then sunday we are looking at good air quality across our entire region in right now in the good to moderate category. Thats not going to last very long. The smoke will settle overnight tonight. So as we look at the smoke forecast, 7 00 tonight, were still dealing with it 7 10 p. M. Tomorrow afternoon, we still have some smoke and haze and then late tomorrow night into sunday, we finally start to see a break as the onshore winds ramp up. So its not so much tomorrow, theyre kind of light, but then stronger sea breeze will push that smoke eastward. Just some safety reminders. Keep your doors and windows shut. Put your ac on, recirculate if you do have ac, bring your pets inside. Really limit exposure as much as possible. Well, as we look at live doppler seven, there is a storm on the way. Its an Atmospheric River for the Pacific Northwest and far Northern California. Ill let you know what were going to get out of it and when we can expect that hour by hour forecast coming right up, larry. All right, sandra, see you with the seven day in a few minutes with the poor air quality, experts are advising people to stay inside. But you know, its the weekend coming. Some people dont want to miss out on their plans that theyve already made. Abc seven News Reporter answer hassan live in danville with that story. Answer yeah, thats right, larry. People really want to get out for the weekend. There was a homecoming parade earlier today. Now people here at Central Valley high School Getting ready for that 7 p. M. Kickoff. The School District says they are monitoring air quality. Theres still a bit of haze and higher elevations, but no smell of smoke, which is a big change from just a few days ago. The san ramon Valley High School parade through downtown danville is an annual homecoming tradition. We always have the big rally and the big parade downtown where, you know, the floats go through and the various town dignitaries. So its a lot of fun. Proud parents and excited players. Didnt seem to be too concerned with the weather. The School District says theyre monitoring air quality and cleared the teams to play well. Theres nice and any concern with the smoke that we had . No, weve weve been okay all week and all signs seem to point towards the same direction right now, despite the excitement on the ground, theres still some lingering haze around mount diablo and the valley below. When youve got a complex of fires burning as we do right now in Northern California, southern oregon, somebody somewhere is going to be downstream and getting a lot of smoke and right now, were the unlucky ones. Professor alison bridger is with the department of meteorology and Climate Science at san jose state university. She says haze from wildfires is not uncommon this time of year. She adds that the air quality has improved over the past week, but recommends even if you dont smell smoke, its still important to take precautions. The smoke is a collection of tiny particles and those can get into your lungs and in the right concentration on the wrong day at the wrong time. They could potentially do some damage. I guess until you smell something or notice it, you dont really think about it. Kayvon rashidi and Gabriel Carver have been hiking almost every morning and seem unfazed by the haze. Besides the visibility, it felt pretty good today. Okay. Better than the past few days. Relative ali, ive been hiking almost every day with the weather. I cant really tell a difference. A little bit of like maybe it seems a little bit harder. But besides that, all good. Professor bridger says strong winds in oregon will likely push that smoke up north. And we should actually likely have blue skies come sunday. Reporting live on san hassan, abc seven news. They will be welcome. Thk you answer. You can see where the fires are burning and monitor our air quality. All of that in our online interactive tracker. Check it out at abc7 news. Com and of course trees can help improve air quality. Coming up next, what it will take to add trees to some of our urban areas and build a better bay area. And speaking of building a partial highway closure thatll last all all weekend, be advised because it starts in just but do they really . Do they see that crick in your neck . That ache in your heart . Will they see that funny little thing that wasnt there last year . A new bounce in your step . The way your retinal scan connects to your blood sugar . At Kaiser Permanente all of us Work Together to care for all that is you. In places like San Francisco and oakland. They have small urban tree canopies compared to other major cities. An abc7 News Reporter leanne melendez is here with a look at how thats about to change. Leanne. Thats right. You know that when you look from above, only 20 of oakland is covered with trees. Is that right . And San Francisco, the number is much lower. Interesting, right . So when we talk about building a better bay area, improving the environment has to be part of that goal. Now San Francisco and oakland received some promising news from the federal government. Both cities will receive millions of dollars to plant trees on streets that have been mostly bare for San Francisco has long carried a reputation for being conscientious about the environment. But yet, ironically, there are parts of the city that look more like a concrete jungle barren of trees than an urban oasis ice. So the temperatures in those neighborhoods that dont have trees or green space can be much higher, ten degrees or more higher than other parts of the city. The citys rapid growth is partly to blame. In 1848, there were about 1000 residents because of the gold rush of 1849, the population grew to 25,000. By 1859, ten years later, San Franciscos population soared to 80,000. Back then, there was so much focus on expansion and on building housing that they really didnt carve out enough space for sidewalks. Therefore where there is limited room for street trees, a lot of our buildings are built right to the sidewalk. And so theres not room for a tree to grow large and for a canopy to expand. As a result, San Francisco has one of the smallest urban tree canopies among big cities just 13. 7, measured by the amount of land covered by trees. When viewed from above, the National Average is just over 27. And while some neighborhoods have tree lined streets that beautify the area, the citys tree canopy is inequitably distributed, with underserved communities lacking behind a map created from state data by the abc7 News Data Team shows in light yellow, which areas are in most need of trees . For example the tenderloin and south of market neighborhoods. But dont get confused used most san franciscans love their trees and in 2016 voters approved a measure that sets aside 19 million a year from the general fund to care and maintain street trees, but not necessary to plant new ones that is about to change after San Francisco was awarded 12 million from the federal government to plant thousands of new street trees. So with this grant we have for the next five years, were going to be able to double the amount of money we use for planting trees in San Francisco. Were always looking for sustainable funding sources. This kind of gives us a head start and momentum. The larger goal of our urban forest plan is to plant to get to 155,000 street trees. We currently have 125,000 street trees, so we need to plant 30,000 new trees by 2040 as our goal public works is now calling this proposed expansion of the canopy. The bloom loop to counter the National Narrative that the city by the bay is at risk of being in that doom loop. We keep hearing so much about the requiem nation and Parks Department will also receive another 2,000,000 million grant to plant trees in parks located in the south eastern part of the city. Another part of the component of the grant that recreation parks is getting is going towards workforce development. So that means cultivating and creating a workforce within the southern eastern neighborhoods to help with maintaining the trees. San francisco isnt alone in getting new trees. The yellow areas on the map show that many parts in oakland are barren of trees. Oakland was also awarded 8 million to increase its tree canopy on public and private land and to deal with deferred maintenance. Back in San Francisco, this will be the citys nursery hub already under construction. From here, many of the new street trees will be planted in those neighborhoods that for years have been crying out for help, like the tenderloin, the south of market area and the bayview Hunters Point district. But even if you dont live in one of those neighborhoods, you can still request that a tree be planted on your street. One of the things that i heard from people when i told them that i was doing this story was, you know, can i have a tree in front of my house . And thats the question that i want to ask you. Can anybody call you and say, i want a tree . Yeah, thats exactly the question we want to hear because we want people to want trees to love trees. And we can help them plant trees if theres a space where they can do it, well send an inspector out to see if this is a good location. Even if its not something that you can do right in front of your home or business, you can maybe work with a Neighborhood Group to see if there are other areas where you can plant trees. So lets be clear in those three underserved neighborhoods we mentioned, they are going to plant trees. Whether people request them or not. Now, if you live outside of those neighborhoods and want a tree, you will need a permit from public works. But the permits are free. So typically, nonprofits like friends of the urban forest, will also plant those trees and they will care for them for three years again, for free. Another thing that people dont know is that even if you rent in San Francisco and oakland, you can still or at least in San Francisco, that i know of you can still ask them to plant a tree because cause the sidewalks belong to the city of San Francisco. So you dont need the permission of your landlord. Thats. And when you see the pictures you showed of neighborhoods with trees and without the difference is really stark. If you take time to really notice, it makes a huge difference. Yeah, psychologically, i think its sort of peaceful. I like green. The whole feel is different. Totally tranquil. Yeah. Thanks, liane. Sure. Yeah well, i think we could say the whole planet probably needs more trees, right . And a little sunshine for the trees would be nice. Meteorologist said patel is here. And maybe sandia, perhaps. Yes. As we hit fall, a little rain to wash out our smoky air. Yes. And were going to see good air quality this second half of our weekend. Dan and larry, good evening to all of you. I want to show you a live picture from our sutro tower camera. Yeah, the filthy air is still with us. You can see that smoke just hovering over San Francisco. But the air quality is going to improve, not immediately. Spare the air through tomorrow, sunday is good. Monday and tuesday are good as well. So we are headed in the right direction. Were going to have to just wait another day area of low pressure has shifted off to the east. We still are seeing the wind flowing off the ocean out of the northwest and thats dragging that smoke in from near the oregon border. But as you look at live doppler seven, the clouds have pulled away. Everybody is enjoying sunshine right now as we look at this live view from our walnut creek camera. You can see some sun there, 63 in the city, 65 in oakland. Temperatures today in the 60s to 80s range a few degrees below average for most of you. Mountain view, 66, san jose, youre at 70 and 68. In palo alto, youre certainly seeing blue skies from our Golden Gate Bridge camera. And here are those temperatures. Upper 60s, napa, santa rosa, fairfield, youre at 77 degrees. Concord livermore, low 70s. And this is what we want to see. More blue sky. You will see it on sunday as we look from our exploratorium camera. Fall arrives tonight at 11 50 p. M. Hazy skies tomorrow. Good air quality sunday and we do have the first rain of the season on on monday. And its looking like a pretty good chance that well see some wet weather, low clouds pushing in tomorrow morning. So your saturday morning will start out with the overcast skies. The clouds pull back and then push right back in later on tomorrow night, your morning temperatures will be in the 40s and the 50s, a sign that the seasons have changed. By tomorrow morning, as you start to notice that cooler pocket of air, there. By tomorrow afternoon in the south bay. Looking at 75 in san jose, its going to be a nice day in sunnyvale, 72 degrees, 78in morgan hill on the peninsula, 71 in palo alto, 74. Redwood city, low 60s right near the coast, San Francisco, 65 degrees. Youll have a little bit of a breeze near the coast, but not as strong one until sunday. Hazy skies in the north bay, napa, 7174. San rafael, 75 in santa rosa. These temperatures running a little bit behind where you should be, 68 in oakland, 71 in fremont. Head inland and youve got the hazy sunshine, 78 in fairfield, 76 degrees in concord. Accuweather seven day forecast. Were going to go with a mild weekend for this first weekend of fall. Hayes will give way to brighter skies good air quality for Outdoor Activities sunday and then that good air quality sticks around early next week as we bring in the opportunity for some wet weather on monday, going into early tuesday, milder weather midweek, but overall, were heading in the right direction. So, larry and dan, just one more day. We can do this. We dont have a choice. We dont have a choice. That is true. All right. Thanks, stefan. Yeah. All right. Speaking of not having a choice, are you prepared to pay more on your next pgandes bill . No, i know, right . Coming up, a look at why the utility is planning to raise rates for 16 million customers.

The nasdaq lost 12, s p dipped nine, and the s p saw its biggest weekly decline since march. Well, the stock market went down pgandes customers will likely see their bills go up in the coming months. The cpuc is expected to vote on two proposed rate plans in november. One raises rates by 9, the other by 11. Pgandes says an increase is necessary to put 2100 miles of power lines underground and to reduce wildfire risk. When you put those lines underground, it reduces the need to do things like tree trimming and maintenance around those lines. And it also far increases reliability. Pgandes wants to put most of its many of its power lines underground. That is far too expensive an approach for wildfire safety. The much better approach is to insulate the power lines, which is a faster and cheaper way. State senator scott wiener released a statement saying the rate increase will place an absurd burden on customers for upgrades he claims should have been reformed, performed rather decades ago. While San Francisco, you know, it has its own police and sheriff. But is that really enough . Up next, the effort to revive a program called patrol specials that started more than 100 years ago. Plus it really shows our Lgbtq Community living in martinez that theyre seen and that theyre loved by their martinez neighbors meet the organizers, putting on the first ever pride celebration in martinez this weekend. A look at what it would take to revive the program called patrol specials. Crime in San Francisco is trending up, according to the latest city police data robbery is over. The last 12 months. Are up 6 compared to the annual average over the last four years. Vehicle thefts are also up 19 compared to the yearly average. City officials are now getting creative. Looking at the past to stop future crime. Theyre considering something called patrol specials. A patrol special is a modified private security. So this also will free up our Police Officers to actually fight crime. San francisco commissioner Deborah Walker presented this proposal to the Police Commission this week, hoping to officially bring back a squad of this type to the city. Is an existing program that began back in the Gold Rush Days when we didnt have police. But its always operated sort of side at the same time as our Police Department currently, theres only one patrol special still active in San Francisco. He urged sfpds chief and other commissioners to revive this program. When i became patrol special in 1977, it was 450 patrol specials that was assistance and beat owners. Sfpd is about 600 officers short patrol specials would be assigned to specific blocks where businesses request their services. In the past, they have been armed and their uniform is very similar to that of an officer. Here we have our Ambassador Program as we are looking at using police reserves and paying them. There are about 260 businesses in fishermans wharf. The Community Benefit district says safety is a major concern. The patrol Specialist Program is Crime Prevention through presence, and that is what were asking for. Just having them around will give tourists, theyll make them feel safer as the Police Commission irons out the details. Supervisor peskin is also worried about why they disappeared. The Police Officers union was never big. Fans of the patrol special. They saw them as competition. Were no longer in those days. Were short several hundred Police Officers, so hopefully those issues will go away. Now, we also contacted the San Francisco police union for comment and did not hear back. Theres also an issue of fairness because some neighborhoods will be able to afford patrol specials and some wont. For now, the Police Commission is working with sfpd to define on what the training and strategy will be moving forward in the newsroom, lou pena, abc seven news. All right. Happening tonight, the start of a highway shutdown and it is going to last. All weekend. So s of highway 87 will be closed at 9 p. M. Now, this is in san jose between julian street and highway 85. This is for a major lane reason surfacing project, doesnt it feel like every road youre on is being resurfaced right now as everywhere but this closure is expected to run through 5 00 on monday morning. I dont know if its everywhere, but its every road i see. Yeah, the city of martinez is hosting its first ever pride event tomorrow. Its happening at the Waterfront Park from 11 until two. Abc seven News Reporter lena howland is taking a closer look at what this event really means to the community. For the first time in martinez history, the city is holding its first pride celebration on saturday. I went to school in martinez and i remember there was Nothing Available for pride. Cristian aguirre is executive director of the Rainbow Community center. The lgbtq nonprofit serves people of all ages. In 19 cities across contra costa county. This year, its the main Event Sponsor for martinez pride. We really want to elevate that message to create awareness and also to allow people to feel welcome everywhere they go in our county. And for the main organizer, sarah tucker, its personal. It just it helps, right . As a parent and as a queer person myself, it helps to know that our community is behind us. Martinez is now one of several smaller communities that have adopted their own pride. Instead of relying on events in larger cities. Tucker says with a rise in anti lgbtq legislation across the country this year, pride has never been more important. There are lgbtq folks everywhere and we like to see it in our communities. We want to know that our local businesses support us and our City Council Supports us. And so its important to have representation. Its important for our kids to have representation. Martinez mayor brian zorn says the event is also proudly backed by the city, with a 2,500 cultural grant. In addition, it really shows our Lgbtq Community living in martinez that theyre seen and that theyre loved by their martinez neighbors. But with future Grant Funding uncertain, the Rainbow Community center is still seeking more sources of funding to make sure pride can continue next year. So were trying to bring more Community Members to step in and also build a donor base for us to sustain throughout many years. And if they can contribute to this group, then that will ensure that were able to have this event annually in martinez, lena howland, abc seven news. Up next, a wet spring, smoky skies and rain expected next week. Winemakers, they sure have dealt with a lot this year and now its harvest time. Also here, the senate has already left washington, d. C. For a long weekend and those weekends could get really long for government workers if a shutdown is not averted by next weeks deadline. Well have the latest im with it i gotta good feeling about this yeah, so lets get it im feeling good vibes how do we decide what hotel to book . Fear not, i got you. Choice hotels has a hotel for every type of stay. Like a comfort with the kiddos. Spacious thats what they all say. My late fatherinlaw lit up a room, but his vision dimmed with age. He had amd. I didnt know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. His struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga. Like Straight Lines that seem wavy, blurry, or missing visual spots that make it hard to see faces like this one, or trouble with low light that makes driving at night a real challenge. If youve been diagnosed with amd and notice vision changes, dont wait. Ga is irreversible. Its important to catch it early. Talk to your eye doctor about ga and learn more at gawontwait. Com to make plans for government shutdown. Only eight days remain before the september 30th deadline to fund the government. And today, the white house directed agency heads to update their shutdown plans. That means federal employees could be told as early as next week if theyre going to be furloughed. And a shutdown would also force troops to work without pay and place a hold on Disaster Relief and other federal oversight agencies. I just believe if youre not funding the troops and youre not funding the border, its pretty difficult to think that youre going to win in a shutdown. The shutdown threat comes because of gop infighting with some hard right republicans demanding steep spending cuts. Well, the city of capitola today kicked off repairs on the wharf. Youll recall it was nearly destroyed by winter storms. City officials held a ceremony to celebrate the start of the construction there. Community members came together in the past few months in support of this project 210,000 raised. So far for enhancements to the wharf. Well the city is going to rebuild the wharf, but our goal is to put the bling on the wharf. We want to have binoculars, new seating, new benches, shade structures, new lighting. Just make the wharf better. Restoration leaders hope the wharf will be back and better than ever by this time next year. All right. Coming up next. See the forecast for the first days of fall, summer is a distant memory. Now stay with us. I know, right . What but do they really . Do they see all that you are . At Kaiser Permanente all of us Work Together to care for all that is you. Were moving quickly now to pick some varietals a little faster than usual. But despite the weather and the challenges its creating, many are optimistic that 2023 will actually be a very good vintage. Abc7 News Reporter cornell bernard is in wine country. Im really happy with the way the my crew has gone through and balanced this canopy. Its a busy week for steve letson, a fifth generation winemaker in kenwood. Im up at 3 00 in the morning getting people organized and im out in the vineyards checking fruit and stuff. Its harvest time for many white grape varieties. Most of the picking happening overnight to keep the fruit cool. We picked a the last week. Its a small block up in mountain terraces. Its just incredible. We only make 50 cases of an incredible wine and so now were looking at chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. Steve says the 2023 harvest has been delayed 2 to 3 weeks after a cool, wet spring which slowed grape ripening. And now theres more weather challenges ahead. And all the smoke in the air from wildfires up north. Not a huge concern to steve and his crew because the particles are so high in the atmosphere. But rain in the forecast is a different story for grapes still on the vine. Our red grapes cabrillo, all the reds that wont really bother them that much. Thats not going to do anything but white grapes. What can happen, especially if you have tight clusters, is get boatwright or some mildew bunch rot and stuff like that in there. The approaching rain is accelerating the picking of the grapes. Normally at this time of year, were were in the 80s and even in the 90s in mid september. So thats been a concern. Its kind of stalled the ripening process. Brooks painter from bay city winery in saint helena says his priority is harvesting white grape varieties at the labels vineyard here in the anderson valley, which could see three quarters of an inch of rain in the coming days. Last thing you want is a heavy rain right at the end of harvest when were essentially ready to pick the grapes. Ive been doing this my whole life since i was a little kid. Steve says his farmers. You have to pivot with changing weather conditions. And he believes when the harvest is done, theyll be something worth toasting to. As far as the vintage quality, i think it is going to be one of the best. Just incredible. And kenwood, cornell, bernard, abc seven news. Thats good news, right . The wine may be good this year. Absolutely. So my sources tell me that that fall actually will begin tonight here ten minutes to midnight. So set your set. My watch. Go outside. 1150. Well, my source is sandy, right . Shes all of our sources. Yes. Im glad to hear larry and don. Yes, autumn arrives tonight at 11 50 p. M. And as we head into the fall, heres what were expecting. Some big changes, a flood watch has already been issued for parts of northwest california, Northern California, into oregon sunday through monday, as they are expected, quite the soaker parts of Northern California looking at one, 2. 5in of rain with the Atmospheric River. Pacific northwest is going to get slammed for us. Were just going to get an opportunity for some wet weather between monday and early tuesday day. Now, were not expecting a lot of rain, but youll notice here that the model is showing anywhere from about 100th of an inch in the southern part of our viewing area to a quarter of an inch in santa rosa. Three quarters of an inch in ukiah. As we look at live doppler seven, low clouds have pulled away, but theyre going to come back in overnight tonight. And tomorrow afternoon clears for a sunny day, but it will be a bit hazy with the smoke lingering low 60s to upper 70s as better air quality for your sunday. Were talking good air quality on the accuweather seven day forecast and were going to keep that good air quality going as a front sweeps through here pretty potent for this time of year for Northern California. But here we have the opportunity for some showers between monday and tuesday. Dan and larry will warm it back up middle of next showers would be great, reduces our fire danger we like. Absolutely. Thats what we want to see. Thanks, andrea. I have the best sources. You do . Yeah. Im glad. Sports, weather, you name it. Speaking to sports.

Those two joined forces back in 2017. Theyve done everything except win the super bowl and i hope to get that box checked. This year. Terms of their new deals, not released. I took the 49 ers kind of a while to get their offense rolling last night because the giants were blitzing brock purdy all night long. Deebo samuel, huge game six catches, 129 yards and a spectacular touchdown late debos bruising style of running after the catch. It takes its toll on the defense, but it also takes its toll on him because he gets banged up. I asked debo after the game if he ever thinks about maybe maybe avoiding some contact, but do you ever think just go down a little bit earlier than that . Not thats not the way i think. I just try to get every yard possible for us, like moving the chains and stuff. But its just my mindset. Im not just going to fall to the ground and just like allow one person to bring me down. I think its the stuff that he does when he when the ball is in his hands and being able to just refuse to go down. Thats so fun to watch. You know, any time he gets the ball, its important that, you know, you better continue to go try to find a block because you dont know what tackle hes going to break or how many. As long as were talking about great 49 ers, wide receivers, debo and everybody else, theyre just playing catch up to jerry rice. In fact, last night, Christian Mccaffrey merely tied jerrys franchise record of 12 consecutive games with a touchdown. And look, thats a lot harder to do as a wideout than a running back. I caught up with flash 880 pregame and i asked jerry if a trip to vegas is in our future. First of all, where do i get one of these . How do i get this . No, you know what happened . I had a fan to give me this out of the stands because what i do is a lot of people behind me, i sign autographs, i take pictures, i do all that. And he wanted to give me something. So he gave me this. And these are all legit diamonds, right . I dont i dont know if they are if they are, i dont know how much. But notice that right there. Goat. Oh, thats kind of cool for a fan to give that to the greatest of all time. You know whats fantastic, ike, is the love. You still have with all these people because its been a minute or two since you stopped playing. Yeah, i think its because i still have that interaction. I still sign autographs, i still take pictures, and i always acknowledge them when i come here. Lets talk present day 49 ers. How impressed are you with brock purdy . Theres still people that say, oh, theyre not sure, blah blah, blah. Come on, man. Hes going to be okay. Hes doing a fantastic job. And. And i think you know, hes going to hes going to be amazing for the 40 niners. You know, he came in, he was on a seven game winning streak and hes doing it all. And the players, they love him. They love him and theyre willing to sacrifice their bodies and do all of that. And they play hard for him. Are we going to be in las vegas for a super bowl . Yes im going to say yes. Were going to be in las vegas for the super bowl and the niners are going to win it. Well, its been a while. Its been a while. And you got to rub the hell i got to this is this good luck or is this good luck . I dont know. What is it . It is so good to see you again. Always good to see. I tell you what, one of the best things about going to the home opener is just seeing the legends like jerry rice and roger craig in the hallway. Hes going one way. Im going the other. And roger and hes, you know, high fiving and all that stuff. But the really cool thing from the 49 ers perspective is that virtually everybody i talk to and these not only 49 ers, people think if this team stays healthy, there is an excellent chance that theyre in the super bowl with a great shot at winning it. Thats awesome. Were off to a great start. Three and looking strong. Cant do any better than three. And oh, fun night at the game for you. Absolutely. No, thanks. All right. Well, finally, this friday, a few thoughts about what really matters. Some of you were kind enough to notice that ive been away for a couple of weeks, returning yesterday from vacation. My wife and i went to paris, then joined my brother and his partner in london before we all trundled off to florence, italy, where we met up with my friend and colleague Spencer Christian and his wife. The six of us ended the trip with a few days in rome. There is a point to this. We were in three of the worlds most treasured and visited cities. San francisco is in that group. We saw wonderful things in paris, london and in rome. What we didnt see was open drug use and tent communities on busy streets. We also didnt see broken glass from an endless stream of car break ins by the hundreds and thousands. Certainly there is crime, drugs and homelessness in those other cities, but we all noticed its nothing like we see in San Francisco, at least in terms of what visitors encounter. None of us was shocked by anything we saw in europe in this regard. What really matters is that sooner rather than later, people living, working or visiting this amazing city of ours get the same impression. An. I always love to hear from you.
