Its a historic move. Its set to be one of the largest releases of inmates in federal prison in american history. The Justice Department plans to release 6,000 inmates from federal prisons across the country by the end of the month. The Early Release applies to nonviolent drug offenders. Many have been committed in 1990 when punishment was much  more strict. A federal commission reversed the strict penalties and lowered maximum sentences for drug offenders. Federal prisons are 40 over crowded and the unfairness of sentences from the 80s and 90s to change the drug policy Going Forward for future drug offenders and to make it retro active. Reporter prison spending accounts for a third of the Justice Departments budget.

The video takes a light hearted look at some pretty serious topics including forward collision Warning Systems. National Safety Council study shows many people are confused by what their cars can do.

After the higher clouds lift and go north, the fog burns off. Well have a mostly sunny but hazy day. 60 to start in San Francisco.

Today is the day students and parents are being encouraged to get out of the car and walk or bike to school. Ktvu fox 2 brian flores is joining us live in oakland where walk to School Day Events are getting under way. Reporter sal, good morning. This is gone on throughout the bay area. You can see the sign in the distance says walk and roll to school. And that is what is going on here today. If you are heading out the door this morning, hopefully you are doing so by walking or riding your bike. I want to go to video of past events. There are a few reasons why this day has grown in participation. The first is that it gives kids and parents an opportunity to get some exercise. Organizers say walking or riding your bike to School Encourages healthier habits. This event also promotes a cleaner environment. This event reduces the amount of pollutants in the air caused by cars. Kids are choosing to lace up their sneakers. And the event promotes safety. In 2009 more than 200,000 kids ages 15 and younger were injured in Motor Vehicle crashes. 15 of those injured were pedestrians. Again out here is this International Walk and roll to school today. The other reason is just plain fun. Great Community Builder as well. Later on this morning Oakland City Council member will be here along with the schools principal. We spoke with him moments ago. This is going is going on in San Francisco. They are taking part in this event as well. It will be a lot of fun for a lot of parents and kids out here this morning. Guys back to you.

And once again its bedbugs right . It is. Normally the library here the main library opens up at 10 00 a. M. But not today. You can see there are signs here on the front door saying its closed because of bedbugs. The city manager shut it down tuesday afternoon after a bedbug was found on a chair. It was removed but the city is bringing in a Pest Control Company to inspect, treat, and clean the library. People tell me any place where people gather is highly like lie. Bedbugs were pound at two libraries. Bedbug sniffing dogs helped in this case and they will do the same here in menlo park. The build willing be treated and then a dog will come in to see if its okay to reopen the library. City officials want the public to know they are not a hazard and are not known to spread disease. The other library in menlo park is not effected and it will remain open. Weve tried to stop a couple people who say that they do use the library. They didnt have time to talk but the look on their faces after we told them not good. Dave. Janine de la vega in menlo park, thank you. Time is 7 35. A San Francisco law that requires landlords to pay tenants who are evicted up to 50,000 in relocation cost it was thrown out by a judge. Which is the state law that lets landlords evict their tenants when they get out of the rental business. The city of San Francisco plans to appeal that decision. Oakland police are saying little about oaklands latest homicide. It happened last night just after 7 30 near lake merit. A man was killed inside an apartment complex. He was shot in the head and neck and pronounced dead on the scene. This is oaklands 75th homicide of the year. Across the bay a murder mystery in Golden Gate Park has the police turning to the public for help. A passer by found the body of audrey kerry saturday morning near jfk. They say she suffered head trauma and her death is being investigated as a homicide. Authorities are looking into whether she had been at the hardly strictly Bluegrass Festival in the park a night before. But right now they dont have much to go on. Audrey kerry was on a backpacking trip. She lived near montreal, canada. A milestone has been reached in the battle against the valley fire. Its finally 100 contained. The fire broke out september 12th. It burned 119 square miles. An area twice as big as oakland. Four people died. Four firefighters were hurt. The crews are still out there in that fire zone because it could take several more weeks to make sure the fire and hot spots wont reignite. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Now the real cleanup work can start. Pg e crews are counting down trees considered a hazard or may be a hazard in the near future. Cal fire says the work has to be done quick for safety reasons. And some of the Property Owners are relieved because they say they cant rebuild until that area is cleared. But others say pg e may be going too fast. Pg e is just cutting what they can while they can. They just want to take this time to put everything back as far as they can because they dont want to deal with them. Those trees that were destroyed in the fire will be taken down as a precaution to keep them from falling on people. Some other Property Owners are worried the trees will fall down on their own during a wind storm or rainstorm and they say if that happens those trees could block creeks and that could cause flooding. Time is 7 38. Governor brown came to richmond to sign what is being called Ground Breaking legislation to close the gender wage gap. Surrounded by women and girls at r the governor signed a bill that patches existing holes in californias equal paellas. The new legislation requires men and women to be paid the same for substantially similar work even if the job titles are different.

A recent study found women in california make 0. 84 for every dollar men make for the same work. The mayors of San Francisco and oakland are joining forces to back at an initiative that would gradually raise californias minimum wage to 15 an hour. Both oakland and San Francisco already have a minimum wage of 12. 25 an hour. The state minimum wage is 9 an hour. That comes out to 19,000 a year for full time work. The minimum Wage Initiative could appear on the november 2016 ballot. Big news and new this morning a stanford graduate has won the nobel prize for chemistry.

What about what areas are hot beds for strep throat or whooping cough . There is an app for that. Reporter its easy to use and informative. The more of us that join in the conversation, the more information we get. Its called sick weather. When you open up the app, you have a list of various things you can look at. I have checked common cold right there. When you check it and you enter the information ive already given the information as oakland just as an example but you put in what area you are concerned about. You see all of these little sick points dropping in on the map. And basically when you click on those it tells you someone has reported the common cold when and the date of that and you can see how many are in San Francisco and the oakland area. And lets go back. Lets say you want to find out something that is very contagious say in your school Something Like pink eye. You just click on pink eye. Good news there is only two cases. But again participation is key. So the more people sign up for this app and give that information, the better. The more information that we all have. You can also look at allergies for example and again this would be very helpful if you gave specifically what kinds of information and you can use that along with what is blooming in your area. If you notice the top key it says forecast. It says todays forecast are going around in oakland is cough, common cold, and allergies. That of course will change. As we head into cold and flu season, its great to know what is going around in your neighborhoods. That is where sick weather comes in. It uses a unique process top track and map the reports of illnesses that people post on twitter an facebook. Its called sick weather because its a forecast of trending illnesses. We had a mom who thanked us because she had received our realtime six zone alerts on her phone for strep throat and didnt think anything of it but the next day her son woke up with a high fever and she thought because she saw strep was going around she would take him in. And sure enough he tested positive for strep. Reporter i will click on strep throat as well. Sure enough when i click on strep throat you see there is a number of cases in and around the area. It provides really good information for parents especially and also for something that is particularly contagious. Its credited with success fly identifying the early start of the flu season back in 2012. Six weeks before the centers for Disease Control predicted the flu season. So again its relying on social media and all of us to put in that information but its a great tool for us to help. And of course if you travel you will be traveling somewhere, you can just expand the map out. You can see all of california and see what is going on in different parts of the state or the country. But like you said it relies on selfreporting. A lot of what you described pink eye, head lice, things that parent dont disclose to each other in a personal way. Im thinking about at school. It doesnt give your personal information. Its anonymous. But people have to say yes, i have it. And they have to click in so we know. Yeah you report where you are. Thank you. 7 47 now. An interesting story about a claim being made about an online Christian Group. Exbible claim there is is a strong likelihood that today october 7th will be the end of the world. Churches founder tells usa today he studied the bible and made the calculation of the blood moon. You may remember hearld predicted the world would end on may 11th of 2011. Of course he was wrong.

There has been no major problems. I checked in with bart they dont have any major delays. Right now traffic is moving along okay on 880. Its slowing down just past the coliseum heading north which is also a normal thing. I want to focus on the south bay because we have a lot of slow traffic in the santa clara valley. If you are driving from southern san jose, it will take awhile on 85. 280 is sold out. And 101 is slow from blossom hill road up to sunnyvale. Lets two to steve. Thank you, sal.

Something that is very rare to see but it would probably get more rain again. The same low that gave rain to l. A. And san diego might give them more rain again in a couple days. 70s and 80s on the temps today. In fact it doesnt take long to warm up. High pressure nosing in and that allows temperatures to start inching up. When you start off at 6062 it doesnt take long to warm up. That is what we will have not only today but also into friday.

The school is very important to us. Students from east Bay Arts High School walked out of class and marched to last nights School Board Meeting to make their case to keep their school open. The district says enrollment at the school is low and closing it would save 400,000 but parents, students and teachers say that would be a mistake. It breaks my heart that my dream high school might close. This district should be studying this school and learning from the positive atmosphere they have created instead of shutting it down. If the school closes, it would be merged with another small science and tech school. There is another planning meeting later this month. The final decision is expected november 3rd. Time is 7 56.

Its quite a bit more at this peak hour of the commute. 20 minutes like at 6 00 in the morning. 6 30 in the morning. That is going to take you quite a bit. When you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, you will see the traffic will take you another 30 minutes to get on that span. We definitely have a lot of slow traffic. I want to show you highway 4 coming over the road to concord. Southbound 680 slows from willow pass road to walnut creek and 580 is mostly slow through livermore. You can see 880 is you doing its usual thing. Now at 8 03 lets go back to the desk. On the trail of a killer. Marin county sheriffs deputies are look for those responsible who shot and killed a hiker. There are three people authorities want to question about this. Ktvu alex savidge youre at the hiking trail now where the victim and the dog was shot and the deputies are asking for help in this. Reporter yes the three people authorities are trying to find and question in this case were captured on Surveillance Video. We will show that to you in a moment. The Sheriffs Office trying track down whoever shot and killed a 67yearold hiker who was walking with his dog along this popular trail just outside of fairfax. That killing was monday night. You can see there is a sign asking people to come forward if they have any information. Investigators are getting quite a few tips. This would appear to be the biggest lead. Sheriffs office has this Surveillance Video. They would like to take a close look at it. Its taken inside a Convenience Store in fairfax just before the killing on monday night. It shows several people detectives want to talk with. One is a man seen in a hat and the other is a woman. There is a third man inside the store but the surveillance image is not shown here because it was just too blurry. Investigators believe these three may be connected to the killing of steve carter. The 67yearold was found shot to death along the Old Railroad Grade trail. His doberman pinscher was also shot but survived. Neighbors tell us this crime has shattered the sense of peace they usually feel around here. This is a really safe place and we walk our dog through here all the time. We live out here because this is a nice place to live and its safe and we come here all the time. Its a common place to walk. Reporter now carter was a relationship therapist who lived in lake county up until the end of last year. He and his wife had been staying recently with friends here in marin county while she under went treatment for cancer. Now authorities have not released what the motive may have been for this killing but they do say that whoever shot carter and his dog may have also stolen his car. It was missing from the trail head area here. Everyone is being urged to keep an eye out for that car. Its a silver vw jetta wagon. That car will have california plates on it 6ppg662. To if you see that car, the marin county Sheriffs Office would like you to immediately call 911. I guess it goes without saying dont try to approach them on your own. Obviously call authorities. Alex savidge in marin county, thank you. Time is 8 06. Meantime a judge in calveras county found a 15yearold boy guilty of second debris murder in the stabbing death of his eightyearold sister. This happened back in april of 2013 in the families home in valley springs. Leila foulers brother called 911 and said an intruder stabbed his sister but days later the boy was arrested. His family insists the boy is innocent and he had no reason to kill his sister. Defense lawyers also introduced dna evidence from an unknown male found on leilas underwear which they claim is raising even more doubt. Now the brother was tried as a juvenile. He can be held until he turns 23. Sentencing is scheduled for next month. One of the biggest releases of inmates from federal prison is due to start at the end of this month. Ktvu fox 2 allie rasmus is live in our newsroom. Reporter one of the goals here is to reduce over crowding. There are 200,000 people serving time in federal prison. Compare that to 35 years ago when the number was 25,000. Now the Justice Department plans to release 6,000 inmates by the end of the month. This earlier release applies to nonviolent drug offenders. Many of whom who had been convicted in the 1990s. Last year a federal commission lowered the maximum sentences for drug offenses and under the new rules inmates can apply to a judge to have their sentence reassessed and shortened. They will first go to Halfway House where is sometimes there is counseling and sometimes they help them get jobs. And then they will go to home confinement and then they will be under the supervisory lease of u. S. Probation service. About a third of inmates being released are undocumented immigrants who will be reported. There are 12 federal prisons in california but only one in the bay area. A low security womans prize out in dublin. The representative there says they dont have detailed information yet. Gasia and dave. Thank you. Meantime there is a new audit out showing the san jose Police Department is having a tough time recruiting and keeping police officers. Now the audit shows the departments vacancy rate is at 21 . With about 200 unfilled jobs. That is an alltime high. San jose city auditor says the problem is in the departments recruiting effort. She says despite a 200,000 advertising budget, only half the money was spent last year. But others they are blaming the measure b settlement. The elephant in the room is what is missing from the report. That is the fact the settlement frame work that was agreed to has not been implemented. If the measure b settlement was put into place, would we be making these changes . Would we be looking at these recommendations . And that is one thing we have to always ask ourselves. The measure b settlement ends a long standing feud over pay and pension benefits but it wont be implemented until the citys other unions finalize their agreements. They will talk about the results of that audit at a meeting on october 27th. We have a follow up to a story weve been bringing you all this week. The Sheriffs Office says its sticking by its deputies who are accused of beating inmates for five hours last may. Relatives held a News Conference to discuss a federal lawsuit that claims guards beat and tortured inmates. They wrote letters accusing deputies of wearing ski masks to conceal their identity and targeting inmates. Hes not the a killer. Hes not an animal. He does not even treat animals like they treat him. The Sheriffs Office denies the abuse allegations. It says deputies were responding to a riot that day. Ucsf supporting a plan to build an arena in San Francisco for the Golden State Warriors. They reached a deal to manage game day traffic problems near ucsf hospital in mission bay. It calls for a 10 million Transportation Improvement Fund. The revenues from the arena would pay for that. There is a hospital access plan to make sure certain streets will stay open and clear during an event. The board of supervisors by the way still has to approve this plan. One Neighborhood Group is still opposing this new agreement. The Mission Bay Alliance says it accomplishes nothing but permanent gridlock and life threatening delays for San Francisco. They say they will fight harder to protect the hospital. Neighborhood Alliance Even proposed its own alternative site for the arena. Its about a mile south of that mission bay location. Time is 8 11. When you drive to work this morning, you may see more students and parents walking to school more than usual. Plus the mayor of stockton he is in a waiting game. He wants to get his computer back.

Anything new popping up . There are no new crashes. I just checked in with bart. Bart is doing well. Just minor delays here and there. This is a look at the commute on highway 24. Its still a little bit slow as you drive over to the caldecott tunnel which is not unusual as you drive through. And you are driving on 680 it will be a little bit slow this morning from about willow pass road heading down to walnut creek. Lets take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza and the traffic there is not bad. It will be a little slow in some areas on the bridge but most of the slow down is here at the toll plaza just waiting to get on the bridge. I want to look at the east bay because 880 southbound is jam packed. That is so normal that people dont hear it. Southbound 101 we had an accident reported a little bit ago just before willow. The redwood city menlo park area so watch for slow traffic there. 8 17 lets go to steve. We have plenty of low clouds around. Kind of interesting fog formation this morning. Marin and sonoma coast. Hardly any on san mateo and santa cruz yet there is plenty on the peninsula. Some in the north bay as well. Morning fog. A few high clouds. I would think more to the north than anywhere else. Near normal to above temps. Most would be above all the way into friday. Its a dry pattern. There is a hint of tropical clouds next week but nothing until then. There is plenty of cloud cover to go to the north of us. 60 to 64 on the water temps. They came up, up, up. Low clouds are there. About San Francisco north and south of that. Stretches right along San Francisco. Sfo down to san jose and oakland airport. 50s on the temps. Napa airport did make it to 49. Now we are seeing lots of 50s and low 60s. You can see that low cloud deck holding up palo alto and mountain view. 59 to 52 some areas a little closer to the water on the warm side. Antioch the one reading at 52. Alamo was now they are 53. Not much of a breeze was up to 16 miles an hour earlier and now its less than ten. That is usually a sure sign that temperatures will be around the mild to warm side again. 34 up in truckee. 50s for many from arcadia to ukiah. And even sacramento at 59. Boy look at that. Just making a beeline towards the Pacific Northwest. Take that and move that down here. We will get the higher clouds. Maybe extreme Northern California. That system stays to the north. And the low which gave us that thunderstorm saturday evening went down to Southern California. Took the turn. Will now retro grade back. Rare to see that happen but that is what is going to happen. That system will go clock wise pip think Southern California will get more rain. We will probably get the clouds out of it but that is a long way off. Fog gives way to sunshine. Mostly sunny. Kind of hazy and a little muggy out there and warmer. Morning fog plenty of sunshine farther south. A little more. 80s on the inland temps. I know they dont stay there very long without a strong offshore breeze but 70s for many near the water. 70s to 80s for everybody. A little bit more fog there and on the peninsula as well. Temperatures mainly 70s. 60s and 70s or a few low 80s. Warmer as we go into thursday and friday. Slightly cooler and still mild into the weekend. Okay steve, thank you. You know what day it is.

Existing buildings would also have to double their Energy Efficiency over the next 15 years. The governor wanted to include a requirement for cutting Petroleum Use in half but the Oil Companies and drivers were against it. Governor brown signed a bill adding new protections against socalled paparazzi drones. The bill changes the definition of a physical invasion of privacy to include the air space above someones land. A Southern California assemblyman said trespassing laws needed to be reclassified. Meantime illegal drone flights over new york and chicago could cost a Drone Company 2 million. For conducting dozens of unauthorized flights into the nations most heavily trafficked areas. The faa is worried a drone would hit an airplane in flight and possibly bring it down.

Looking at the east bay commute this is highway 4 and you can see highway 4 traffic is still busy on the way over the hill to concord. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. A little bit of fog here. More so on the peninsula. Temperatures on the mild to warm side. Well show you how warm. In a remote village lived raymond. His internal clock was off, so hed wake people for breakfast at all hours.

Home of breakfast served all day. I wish i could take credit for picking that son. Aerosmith. Walk this way. You are looking at video from oakland and San Francisco. Parents and students walking this way on walk to school day. As you see you can walk, you can scoot, you can ride your bike. The ski here is to get out of that car. Mom and dad and your little ones and get a little bit of physical activity to start your day. It is something we did as children these days i dont see it so much anymore. But today is the day parents and students are encouraged to get out of the car and hit the sidewalk. Brian flores is out there in oakland. People are taking that advice. They are. You have a great taste in music. Were live watusi is coy yeah elmen we are live here at Sequoia Elementary School in oakland. Kids making their way to campus this morning. If you are heading out the door this morning to school, hopefully you are doing so by walking or riding your bike. This event has been going on since 1997 it just continues to grow. There are many benefits to this yearly event as we go to video. The first is it gives kids and their parents to get some exercise. Organizers say walking or riding your bike to School Encourages healthier habits. And it also promotes a cleaner environment. This event reduces the amount of pollutant in the air because kids are choosing to lace up their sneakers. And the event promotes safety. Organizers say in 2009 more than 200,000 kids ages 15 or younger nationwide for injured in Motor Vehicle crashes and 15,000 of those were pedestrians. But from just a local viewpoint in oakland, some say this event is important because it helps to build community trust. Some say they have not seen that for years. We lost the ability to walk in our neighborhoods and just be a part of the whole neighborhood. When i was a kid, youre a bit younger than i am. When i was a kid i walked the ten blocks to School Without problem. Without my parents being afraid. I think for me it takes longer to drive because you have to get in the car and drive and get out. So its faster for me and i just like it. Reporter and of course this is going on in San Francisco where mayor lee and the u. S. Surgeon general will be taking part in this event. About 90 schools are participating out there. But as we take you back out here live again students and staff and parents getting out of the car this morning and walking to school. A lot of benefits to this program. Guys back to you. I dont know if sequoia has this program but they have a Walking School bus. Walking school bus starts here and it picks up kids along the along the way. Reporter yeah. That is the point that should be taken here. Obviously in this day and age where everyone is rushing out the door to get their kids to class you know just one day out of the year where you can take some time and breathe the nice air. Feel the walls and look at the bricks as one of the guys we talked to talked about this morning. Just to walk your kids to school and remember those days when we used to all walk to school. Walking the ten blocks or whatever. Dave you probably remember that. I remember that as well. Ten blocks uphill both ways in the snow. Barefoot. [ laughter ] thank you so much.

[ laughter ] all right we have low clouds around. There is a little bit what is kind of interesting north bay yes. San mateo and santa cruz coast. Mostly clypei you had plenty of low clouds. Its beginning to retreat. Lift a little bit. And few high clouds coming in really impressive band of moisture moving up. We can take this and move it right there. Not happening. High pressure will lift that even farther north. 60s on the water temps low to mid. They came up and that means the water temps are up. 49 in scotts valley. Those are the coolest i could find. Cooler in the north bay compared to 24 hours ago. Running warmer, low clouds toward the peninsula. Look at all of that moisture. But its only going to give us high clouds. Morning fog. Mostly sunny after the fog lifts. High clouds. A lot of moisture in the air. 80s if for many. 70s for the others. All righty sal how are you doing my friend . Im doing okay im looking for incidents. We dont have a lot but we have slow traffic out there. And its getting a little better. This is the time it starts to improve. Finally. If you are driving on 880 which is slow from san leandro which is unusual driving all the way up to downtown oakland and after that it gets better by the time you reach fifth. If you are going to the bay bridge toll plaza, it is backed up. We did see a little bit of improvement as its taking 30 40 minutes. Now its taking 20 minutes. San mateo and dumbarton Bridge Crossings are moderately heavy from 880. We had earlier problems approaching the san mateo bridge. That is long gone. We had a crash there. But the dumbarton bridge is filled in. I think a lot of people heard about the san mateo bridge. Its pretty much solid all the way to san jose. Now at 8 36 lets go back to the desk.

The School District says enrollment at the school is low and if they woulded if close it but participants and teachers say that would be a mistake.

The cause of the fire surround investigation. And now the real cleanup work can start. Crews are cutting down trees that are considered a hazard. Cal fire says the work needs to be done as quickly as possible for safety reasons. Some Property Owners are relieved because they say they cant rebuild until the area is cleared but others say pg e is moving too quickly. Pg e is just cutting what they can, while they say. They want to take this time and put everything back. Those trees that were destroyed in the fire will be taken down as a precaution to keep them from falling on people or their property. Other Property Owners are worried the trees will come down on their own during a wind or rainstorm. They say if that happens the trees could block creeks and that could lead to flooding.

Were looking at downtown oakland right now. This song kind of kick starts our next story. Is today. The end of the world. Now were moving to a strange story. Its about a claim made by an online Christian Group. The group is exbible fellowship. There is a strong possibility that today october 7th will be the end of the world. The churchs founder is fell usa today he studied the bible, he made the calculation partially on the blood moon which happened back on september 27th. Im sure you remember when reverend Harold Camping a minister from oakland predicted the world would end on may 11th, 2011 . He was wrong of course. We would like you to check out the Facebook Page. There is a conversation alabama this. We are heading into cold and flu season. How would you like to get a warning about what is going on and around your neighborhood. Pam cook is back in the studio and says there is an app for that. Yes. I got a chance to talk to the creator of sick weather. Its sick weather because its forecast illness. Heres the app that you just have to down load. And you see when i click on it, it has this hazy care. That is showing you an outbreak of some sort. If you zoom into the map in your particular area, you can see the little sick icons pop down. What they are showing you if you click on it there is strep throat and it tells you when it was reported and where it was reported. Out here i believe there was one reported one day ago. Way out here in the east bay. Strep throat. Now you can also check in on some other things that are also very contagious. You can look at the flu. You just im sorry. Let me go back to that. You have a list of some of the things you can click on here. You can see the common cold. The cough. I have checked on flu. When you check that it comes back to your map and drops down these new little icons showing you where people have reported the flu. And what day. Now the creator of sick weather says the idea is to keep people healthy by knowing who is sick. Sort of like a canary in a coal mine. The first people who get it will share the information on social media. But that could help others that havent gotten it yet and hopefully stall the spread of illness. Sick weather uses a unique process to track and map illnesses that people you and i post on twitter and facebook. Sick weather compares that information posted on its site to what is reported by the haves for Disease Control after people check in with a dollar and that information has been consistent. In fact sick weather identified the early start of the flu season back in 2012 six weeks before the cdc. So very interesting. We lost our little app here. Any way. For the parents of if your child has a soar throat or a cough, you can look in your area to see if its just that or if there is is something nor serious going on around such a strep throat or bronchitis. It is great information and then you can stay at home and watch movies to feel better. We want to check in with sal. You taking care of our friends at the san mateo bridge . The bridges have been extra crowded today because of an earlier accident approaching 92 at the toll plaza. It was gone for awhile but i put a lot of heavy traffic there.
