The san mateo bridge Traffic Holding steady. No delay out of hayward area. 13 minutes end to end. 880 to 101. Eastbound traffic on 8 92 is 92 is good coming out and over the highrise as well.

And some genius said you may know this story. What is this stuff that comes out of the ground in pennsylvania and they were fined into kerosene and kerosene replaced whale oil but by the 1890s when the lightbulb came along and cities were switching rapidly to electric light the oil industry with saying what are we going to do . They have this waste product that they couldnt use that they were dumping in the river at night to get rid of it because it was useless and they had to find a place to put it. Fortunately the automobile came along just in time and save the oil industry. So they use this waste product and refineries. There are lots of stories. They havent been told as usual.

Ten days away from the risk of the u. S. Defaulting on its bills for the very first time. Nbcs tracie potts joins us in washington. If there are enough votes, whats the hold up. Reporter the white house insist there are enough votes. Our own counts seems to suggest there may be enough votes to get this budget done but the other big question here is weve got a looming debate and a looming deadline over the debt ceiling, and americas credit card is about to be canceled. The pentagon has ordered more than 3,000 employees back to work but more than 400,000 remain at home because congress cant agree on a budget, what they call a cr.
