results. i think in the area of wildfire, for example, we're already seeing some of these proactive projects like fuel breaks actually pay off and keep small fires that are more natural in california small and not catastrophic and dangerous. and while progress is being made officials admit. close attentionust bere.

paid especially to how the state approaches transportation and housing california's water crisis is causing problems for tomato farmers, and now inflation is also hurting their bottom line as reporter stephanie elam found out it could hurt yours as well. we pick it at the peak of

freshness for 25 years. it's a great product. there's a sense of home to it. aaron barcellos has grown tomatoes in california's central valley. this year was a below average air force but between the crushing three-year drought and the rising cost of growing tomatoes were just at the mercy of mother nature farmers, like barcelos are feeling the squeeze as their margins get sliced and diced. we had a little over 500 acres. we follow it over 2,000 acres of ground that normally go to tomatoes. we just did not have the water to go ahead and grow during the drought or water triples and quadruples and prices as well. but it's not just water due to inflation farmers are also paying more for fuel and fertilizers those added costs than reflected in consumer products. there aren't any farmers making any money on tomatoes of california this year? even with with a record price last year, which means there's less to go around which means prices will go up something that consumers will feel when i go is about the california tomato growers association said its members produced about 14% less this year than originally intended.

what makes this different is this is about our fourth year in a row. of having a shorter crop than what we wanted. ultimately it come down the water. he's grown up in the central valley is the climate the same as it. what ribs which are they cheaper short ribs? i feel like they're expensive too. i think they are. i don't know but, you know, we're all because of so many factors lately. we're just adapting as this we can right. i might just have to get the costco roast chicken five dollars and already cooked. alright, but at least we have a great start to the week in terms of what we really do and some warmth on our way. we do after such a the chilly weekend and a really great one, especially yesterday until later today. have a whole lot of sunshine for you, but is going to come as a byproduct of some offshore wednesday you could see they took away any marine layer cloudiness. we're looking from tam down to ocean beach where it's about 62 right now with a back on shore light wind out of the west northwest about eight to ten and that's what's gonna happen every day. the coast will get a little bit of a light on shore wind in the afternoon. i was gonna keep you from heating up too much while the rest of us are going to be much warmer starting today and lasting through at least thursday the setup we're gonna have high clouds and sunshine most of the week and limited low

clouds at least through thursday because of that offshore breeze. that's why we're going to warm up quickly like we did today compared to yesterday, even though we started off significantly cooler in the 40s and 50s. we're up into the 60s and 70s and just about all neighborhoods. in fact, mainly seventies. we've got 66 at half moon bay in san francisco low 70s around the bay and mid to upper 70s inland and in 81 right now in fairfield. so that's going to leave us a really comfortable evening till about 8 o'clock when those temperatures really start to drop we'll show you that forecast coming up first. let's talk about how much warmer they say double digits in places like the north bay a little bit of that southerly wind coming in earlier today underneath that offshore. thanks to that area of high pressure. remember these two areas alone. we talked about last week. they're going to come in and push that away from us and sure enough they have and it was this low that we saw last week. that was the possibility of bringing us some rain, but it's going to stay offshore and just kick some high clouds at us as you can see on the visible satellite the next several days. in fact, it'll just be high cloudiness tonight for most of us and around 50 in santa rosa

the 54 in oakland in san francisco 57 at san jose about say 54 degrees out in livermore for tomorrow afternoon high cloud sunshine near 80 for most of the south bay 82 in los gatos 85 and morgan hill head up the peninsula well have an aid in redwood city most of us around 75 to 78 degrees even some 70s leaking out to the coast tomorrow afternoon with mid 70s in downtown at south san francisco and sausalito 67 to 72 north bay coast low to mid 80s 82 to about 85 in your valleys over in the east bay very nice afternoon the light down sloping when we'll have 78 to about 80 82 degrees and about 82 85 in our inland east bay neighborhoods now, let's talk about that fire threat. it's almost non-existent tomorrow and you can see some green and blue that's low and moderate for tuesday afternoon wednesday. we wake up. it's pretty non-existent. then we have a little bit of yellow showing up around 5 o'clock and the north bay and a little bit in the east bay a couple hours later, but that's it.

these winds aren't going to be very fast, but they are going to warm us look at that record highs are possible inland with those 90s wednesday. it'll also be very dry. so get the chapstick out you are going to need it in the lotion because that air is going to be dry and it'll take all that moisture. you know how that is this time in here. it's got some in my pocket and i drops for that. just that reason you are prepared be like dan. i'm gonna try fish oil. that's another option. that's some friends told me about. thank you. all right. do you remember the lumoprated earthquake 33 today plus we have a lot of elusive records what we know is that were probably quite common. the gold rush and gay men the stories coming to light about life

california in 1849, the state was flooded with people from all over the world seeking their fortune 90% of these new immigrants. men the social structure of the mining camps and boomtowns paved the way for intimate relationships stories lost to time until now. when gold was discovered in california the world rushed west men and some women dropped everything to get rich most didn't find gold but many found comfort in same-sex relationships. what we know is that they were probably quite common, but you know, we don't have the documentation to say how common historian and author susan lee johnson literally wrote the book on life in the mining camps during the california gold rush. she says documenting the lives of lgbtq+ 49ers isn't easy.

it's not the sort of thing that you would write home about, but fortunately we have things like diaries we have court records women and children were a rare sight in the gold rush prospectors from around the globe descended on the golden state towns popped up overnight cabins and tents often house

multiple miners quarters were cramped and without women many of these men would find comfort in each other we have one divorce kate her husband the kept bringing men home, and she was not happy about that. and then we have a lot of elusive records so records of

men dancing together or spending the night together and you know, we have to kind of read through what we see there to try to figure out what's going on at a time when there were clear divisions between women's work and men's work minors would have to jump into gender non-conforming roles just to survive and keep themselves entertained the ding. things men would you know put on parties where they would dance together? hopefully they, you know had somebody who had a fiddle and they would dance together some of the men would take on, you know, the female role in the dance depending on and and him it might be indicated by something. he was wearing a patch on his pants or something like that. so that was that was quite common. but there is evidence that some same-sex relationships were accepted and in one very unusual case. we actually have a whole of those new people young men migrating to san francisco over half of them from outside of the united states, you know in such

an excitement in such a wealth claire sears is an author and sociologist who studied cross-gender dressing among 49ers now they had to really figure out how to organize their social lives that domestic lives and their sexual lives in the virtual absence of women. a lot of opportunities opened up in that kind of space for a wide range of cross-gender practices and same-sex intimacy. she says we can't put modern labels on people at the time calling them gay lesbian bisexual or transgender because such terms didn't exist at the time but in the city's rock as barbary coast, there is clear evidence that same sex relationships and gender non-conforming behavior. what's happening? one of the main things that was happening in this area early on in the gold rush. i'm talking about kind of really the early 1850s. there were these masquerade balls. they're really infamous. dances that took place around here but in san francisco where there were some women around and women's clothing was in circulation a lot of men would

dress up kind of in full drag to attend these masquerade balls. some women would attend. they would dress up as men. charlie parkers was a man from boston. he moved to san francisco in 1849 as part of the gold rush. he became a stage coach driver and died when he was 67 of cancer and during autopsychana announced that he was female. when families started to arrive from the east coast in the late 1850s and 1860s there were calls to crack down on the debauchery in the city to make it more family-friendly the city's board of supervisors passed legislation making it illegal to appear in public in dress not belonging to his or her sex from many people who made their way west the gold rush wasn't just an opportunity to find wealth but to find themselves, you know, they wanted to find their stake in life. they're independence and the discovery of gold offered that possibility cornell bernard abc
