One minute past 12 30. Welcome, everyone. I have the happy task of introducing your president and my friend, marnie sandweiss. Iven of what i have been describing as an intellectual wedding toast. We will present this room as a vegas wedding chapel and tell the story of marnie and me and work, which got us all here. Let me start with the magical alchemy of graduate school. Thinkers leadheaded turned into golden tongued scholars, writers, and teachers. Picture a process that works Something Like this. An Admissions Committee imagines a group of students as a cohort. The cohort becomes classmates. The classmates become colleagues. And once in a while, they become lifelong friends. So, colleagues, cohort, classmate, colleague, and that golden thing, a friend. I am cheating a little bit yaleuse marnie came to to study with Harold Lamarr a year after me, and she was in the History Department, and i was in that ragtag group in american studies. [cheers and applause] not a cohort, exactly. We
This. Imagine a group of students as a cohort. The cohort becomes class meet. classmates. Once in a while they become lifelong friends. So, colleagues, cohort, classmate, colleagues, and that golden thing, a friend. I am cheating a little bit because she came to yell to study with Harold Lamarr a year after me and she was in the History Department and i was in that ragtag group in american studies. Not a cohort exactly. We did become friends, puzzling over readings, yachtings brilliant, but sometimes excruciating seminars. Western history, some of you may know, was taught in the basement. And on friday afternoons. The slow drone of graduate students, our own included we survived our basement years, scattered, and became colleagues, solving problems about students for each other. So, cohort, classmate, collie, but for me, we became friends, most important. A last bit of graduate school alchemy that knit the strange world of ideas into the world of spouses, partners, families, and childr
Minor deviations from the provisions.

The calmer winds giving crews on the ground an opportunity to make some headway on this large fire, because they have dangerously strong winds moving in tomorrow. Another big issue we are following, a lot of the smoke will drift into the bay area from the kincade fire fire. From were conditions, lets bring in meteorologist rosemary. Is remember yesterday, winds were strong and blowing from a direction that allowed all that smoke to be pushed out pacific. Today, winds are lighter and have shifted a little bit. We see a lot more snow again for areas, especially over the north bay. Right now, the latest readings report areas of the north valley floor, as well as the coastline, unhealthy reported there. The Central Coast as well as areas along the south coast, we are looking at moderate air quality from the coastline to the east bay, and down through the south bay. At this hour, areas over the north bay, areas like santa ros
Versus enforceability of what really is underpinning which i completely associate myself with, as a matter of public policy, about whether or not whoever is in that spot, do the community right.
