what do you think? >> he has a nice profile. looks good, you know. he's got something to say. just hanging out on this calm morning. it's pretty comfortable out there with temperatures in the 60s. so really no reason to go anywhere else. in fact, we are looking at the low clouds and to go this morning, anywhere from about 1800 feet deep to 2400 feet deep. and that's allowed for a gray start for much of the bay with 39-minute delays at sfo. so it's been one of those mornings. it will be one of those mornings again where when the fog pulls back, it will get a little breezy. there he is finish. hello, there. the temperatures haven't moved much. 62 in san jose. this is about two to four degrees warmer than yesterday, but really the warmup will come tomorrow as we go back to work. sutro a little gray, a little hazy out there, but you, too,
