year, so maybe in a couple of years we'll be having this discussion where, you know, they're not as effective and maybe it becomes more of a ceremonial thing. i do think there's tremendous value in the three of them being warriors for life. it matters that kobe was a laker for life, that that's meaningful to the laker franchise. i think it would be incredible if these three guys could play their whole careers here. that's meaningful matters to our fans. it matters to our franchise. so i hope it happens. but fortunately right now they're they're all still good. >> so the warriors have a unique challenge. the team is getting older and simultaneously more expensive. not a great recipe for success. so how do you shake it up within the confines of the remnants of the dynasty? well, our first hints could come in june when the nba draft is right here on abc seven. but the warriors won't have a first round pick, so more questions than answers. these days. dan and kristen. >> okay, i wasn't sure if that was a rhetorical question, but yeah, a lot to think about. casey. thanks. >> all right. well, crews working to get historic raymond

park ready for the oakland ballers inaugural season. they're making progress today. we spotted workers applying fresh topsoil and preparing to install new sprinkler systems on the field. the team is spending $1.6 million to improve the park and surrounding infrastructure. the ballers begin play in the independent pioneer league in late may with their home opener in june. pretty exciting. >> all right. hey you got any sort of ball sport out there today? so nice. i mean, a little less warm, but nice. >> no, but yeah. gorgeous. still not a meteorologist. >> sandyha patel is here. will it hold for the weekend, sandy? well let me put it to you this way. >> our warmth is going to be on hold tomorrow. dan and kristen. and then we'll bring it back over the weekend. okay just in time. let me show you a live picture right now from our mount tam cam and you can see what is back. this is the marine layer. and that's why those temperatures are starting to drop off. six degrees cooler in san francisco, down 11 right now compared to 24 hours ago in oakland. sea breeze has

strengthened 27 miles an hour in san francisco. and we're going to continue to see that picking up as we head towards tomorrow. we do have the fog right along the coastline. we also have some higher clouds just filtering the sunshine right now. and you can see them as we widen the picture here coming in. they're harmless. they're going to be around. but what we're really watching is a trough developing over the pacific that is going to set the stage for deeper marine layer and cooler weather as we head towards your friday. so today, the cooling has already started around parts of the bay area and it will spread tomorrow. a live view from our golden gate bridge camera. you can see more cloud cover around low 60s san francisco oakland. you're currently in the 70s from hayward to san jose, palo alto, half moon bay, chilling at 55 degrees along the embarcadero. so it is breezy out there. 76 in santa rosa, fairfield. you have hit 80 degrees currently 76 in concord and 78 in livermore. walnut creek camera you're just seeing filtered sunshine right now. overnight coastal fog and patchy drizzle tomorrow. breezy and a cooler afternoon. and your

1906 earthquake. people came here posting messages looking for loved ones while they were fighting through the rubble. it's a message city officials want to remember today that if an earthquake like that happens again, our methods of communication now will be hindered and they want people to be ready for that. >> what would you do if you lost power? if we had no phone, you know, cell internet connection? what if water wasn't coming out of the tap? have you taken the steps to prepare yourself, your family and your community for that kind of condition? >> the events were not only in downtown. they gathered later in the morning at dolores park for the annual rebuilding of the fire hydrant used to save the entire district a day not only remembering the past, but preparing for the future for when the next big earthquake arrives. it's about togetherness, working as a community, working as a family that keeps this city strong and that will keep this city through any, any tragedy in san francisco. ryan curry, abc seven

this is a recording. >> triple a will charge you $1.2. >> oh, i get off. stop! >> you know you're taking advantage of someone who's 94 years old and has dementia. >> ramona just celebrated another birthday. she has advanced dementia and 24 hour care, so her trusty ingrid kirsten was surprised to see this p-g-and-e's notice, saying ramona had switched her gas supplier to triple a energy services. how did that happen? she called triple a and they said, well, we do it over the phone and we got phone verification, triple a said. ramona agreed to a 36 month contract and that the phone recording proves it. ingrid is not convinced there's a series of yes or no questions, and then you hear just a yes. >> and i can tell by the yes that it's not ramona on the recording, an agent reads off contract terms. >> then asks ramona if she understands each one. yes. or no. >> triple a will charge $0.85 per day customer fee. is this

your understanding? >> on the recording? there's a 10 or 15 second delay after each question, then a one word reply. >> yes, thank you. >> ramona says nothing, but yes, this is not even her voice and the 10 to 15 second delay after every single question is suspicious in and of itself. now it seems clear ramona does not understand. yes, still triple a said ramona would have to wait 60 days and pay a $100 fee to cancel the contract. >> but you can clearly tell my mother did not know what she was was signing up for karen, markey, said her 90 year old mother, mary, thought she was getting a discount on her gas bill instead, she wound up switching her gas supplier from p-g-and-e's to triple a. they basically said, your mother agreed to it and you can't cancel it for two months and there's a penalty fee if you do so. >> triple a sent karen the phone recording as proof. karen says it proved questionable tactics. i'll be completing your

doubled. same for ramona. mary's utility bill shows p-g-and-e's would have charged her $90 for the gas she used last month, triple a charged $187. ramona's bill shows p-g-and-e's would have charged her $130 for gas, triple a charged $261. triple a tells us we do not target or discriminate based on age, race or any other basis. a live, independent third party explains and obtains customer consent to each sale. this includes informing the customer that their gas charges may be higher or lower than what p-g-and-e's would charge them for. seven on your side i'm stephanie sierra, abc seven news. >> isn't that something? well, the state puc allows the third party gas suppliers like triple a to sell you gas. p-g-and-e's will still charge you to deliver gas to your home. we found it's often more expensive to buy gas from a third party. >> bart has settled a lawsuit that's going to result in sweeping changes for riders who have disabilities. the suit

and they've been at it for a long time. pretty nice list to be on. >> yeah, and they're still touring and fun fact green day was the very first band i saw live in concert, so i'm very proud to hear that they're on that list. and billie joe, the lead singer of green day, he was he's very active locally, like he's at the roots game uh. he follows all the things going on with the east bay stadium saga, and so i can't wait to run into him somewhere and just talk about oakland sports. so billie joe armstrong, green day, big props to you guys. that's cool that that was your first show ever. >> all right. >> thanks. all right. governor gavin newsom is one of time magazine's 100 most influential people of 2020. for time is highlighting newsom's defense of liberal values. outspoken quarrels with republican politicians and his anticipated run for president in 2028. also on the time's 100 list are singer songwriter dua lipa, hollywood star taraji p henson and kansas city chiefs quarterback patrick mahomes. no

argument with any of them. i don't think, who else do you think belongs on that list? and what do you think about newsom being on that list? dan well, i think, it makes sense. >> clearly, he's been positioning himself, he doesn't talk about it directly like that. of course, being very coy about it, but positioning himself for run for the white house. >> that's true. that is true. and, you know, his counterpart in some of these duels with republicans, ron desantis, didn't seem to make it onto that list. right. so what do you think, sandy? yeah. >> i mean, i think all of them that are on that list make sense to me as well. and certainly agree with dan on governor newsom and patrick mahomes has become a force of nature. >> obviously he's pretty good, but you know what's weird about the list to me is it seems like they shuffle people on and off the list, because how is taylor swift not on this list? or steph curry, for example? they've been on previous lists. so how do you make it on one and not the other? it seems like they're just trying to come up with new

names every year. i'm not sure about the format, like the best universities list, you know, they change all the uh- now to the latest terrifying technology to haunt your nightmares. >> check out this new humanoid robot from boston dynamics. the design was meant to keep a bipedal robot without sacrificing movement, so it swivels at the joints. and while it looks human, designers say they do not want it to be limited to human movements. that is weird. you know, i'm convinced, sandia, we're going to have these in our houses and doing jobs one day, and then eventually they'll take over and it is whatever they want. >> dan, it is the wave of the future, if you will. i mean, but they could come in really handy, you know, helping out with household chores, wash the dishes, do the laundry. >> i know, you know, but what's so interesting about this? you're exactly right, sandy at casey. i can't remember who i read an article, about this, but so many of the things we have seen in science fiction over the decades that seemed outlandish and out of this world back then

and now a reality. that's what we're seeing here. things science fiction often is lead the way in terms of where we go with technology. are you sure it was an article you read and not the movie terminator? >> dan, or irobot, it seems like boston dynamics, the people that build those robots, have clearly never seen terminator, because every time i see that, it scares me. and the last thought on that is, i wish i had the hip flexibility of that robot. >> yeah, you know what? the scariest part for me is? the fact that it's a contortionist robot, you know? >> but you think about it years ago, you know, with star trek or the communicator that they could talk and have little conversations where you can see your face and communicate 30, 40 years later, that's what we have now. >> we don't even think about it. >> that's true. it's just a reality show. but, you know, predicting the future as such. all right. it is tasty thursday. and that means time to try another tasty bay area treat this weekend is national upside down pineapple cake day. yes the dessert became popular in the 1920s after dole sponsored a

contest for pineapple recipes. today, we're bringing you a twist on the traditional dessert. joining us today is susie herself, susie with susie's cakes with locations around the bay area. you know that aqua blue and the delicious treats. so creative. hi, susie. hi guys. tell us about your particular pineapple upside down cake. >> okay, this is a take on my grandmother's recipe. so it's a vanilla cake mixed with pineapple and pineapple juice. and then on the top is like a caramelized buttercream frosting. and of course, every, pineapple upside down cake has to be topped with a maraschino cherry. >> i have to say, susie, this is unbelievably delicious. >> i have to say. thank you. this is part of your seasonal monthly cupcakes. there's so much flavor in this. what's coming next? >> thank you, what is coming next is a strawberry lemonade. >> oh, wow.

>> yeah. okay. this one, though, is the most popular that we have year round all year. >> the pineapple. it really is outstanding. >> so your cakes are both delicious, but also very beautifully decorated. if people have seen your christmas, the mint christmas chocolate cake, if you know what i'm talking about. work of art. how do you come up with that? did you have a design background too? >> so no, they're really everything is very straightforward at susie cakes. we're trying to really because it's the, a tribute to both of my grandmothers, mildred and madeline, and all their recipes from the 50s and 60s. we're just trying to make it as, like, simplistic as possible, but i think in the simplicity it looks, you know, elegant and really highly decorated. >> and i think that's why i have a question for you. i have a cupcake hack that i like to do, and i want to know if this is a appropriate thing to do, where i like to pull off the bottom and then make like a sandwich out of it. yes. is this common for cupcake eating? it is, i think it's awesome. check it out. it's like a sandwich bottom on top.

so the frosting is in the middle, frosting is in the middle. and now your hands stay clean. okay. >> that's. yeah. >> hum. >> you've heard about 30% of the people eat it that way. so you're in good company. check that out. >> that's actually fascinating. >> i've never seen that. >> okay, that's kind of a lot of cake in one bite. but you can do it. that's awesome. >> but then you get a lot of frosting, too. >> yeah. that's true. >> yeah. susie, i know you've got multiple locations. where are they right now, we have two in the city, one in laurel village and one in the marina. and then in the east bay in lafayette and in the north bay in greenbrae. >> susie, i know, you work hard on these recipes, and they're just absolutely delicious. and the cake is so moist. i don't want you to give away the trade secret, but what is the magic in making them this moist and this fresh and delicious tasting? >> it's really. it's not a secret. it's just using the best ingredients and the highest quality butter. so we use european style butter, which has the highest amount of fat in it, which is what makes that

creaminess in our buttercream and the moisture in our cake. your good ingredients. >> that european butter is zero calories, is that correct? >> right. exactly, gordon. it is. yeah. >> at least in my mind. >> yeah. >> no, it's really nice and dense. you know, it's got i love that about sink ability for your teeth. >> you know that's the word christine. >> it's dense. yeah. >> and you have so many great flavors. red velvet confetti cake i mean my kids, we all love them. yeah >> so yes. >> thank you. >> well, congratulations on your success. thanks for sending these over and for coming on with us today. susie. we appreciate it. >> thank you. yep. >> and i sent some extras so you can share them with the with the crew and your families. >> we're not going to share. we're >> hey. >> no we will. they're already up in the newsroom. >> happy national
