It is 65 to 79 degrees, all above normal for this time of year including San Francisco home. It is not too bad and then get towards sfo and it is zero miles of visibility. Watch out around the peninsula and highway one. That is where the highest concentration of fog is. We will have he the sunshine, 56 around the coast, 70s inland and the client pattern and there are signs of things turning in our favor later. We will start at the bay bridge because we are doing very well. Here is what commute we are facing, even the fog is going away.

If you wouldnt mind making sure that were really blur in the recording if you dont do that. Silence the cells. Questions and answers, basically the format will be will start off with a brief hesitation, have a brief questionandanswer between our guests then you all be invited to participate. Well pass around this microphone. If you want to ask a question, if you just wait until this microphone is in front of your face so it gets recorded and we dont have a big blank spot.
