Compared to everybody else. Temperatures in the low 60s, dropping into the 50s and all that cloud cover and you were out in San Francisco probably a couple miles away with sunshine. I mean, that is the neat part of the microclimates. We have limited cloud cover out there right now. And you can see a little bit of a breeze on ourryuiing. So if you look close to the coast, it will stay comfortable, but if you look at the planner that i put together, you can see that it gets pretty warm once again especially inland neighborhoods nearing 90, around 80 at the bay and 62 at the coast.

Its been clear for some weeks that the speaker of the house and Senate Democratic leader are treating this crisis like an ordinary political game. The New York Times said p Speaker Pelosi is quote playing hardball. Politico says she is taking a huge risk as she remains almost entirely unyielding in her demands. More than 100 60,000 americans have been killed by the worst Infectious Disease outbreak in more than a century. More than 16 million americans are out of work.
