a level one storm that rolled through earlier today, and more rain is on the way this week. plus, where i live, it's very dense and we're going to have to search around more and circle around more for a parking space. >> new rules begin for a controversial statewide parking law. the goal is to save lives, but some drivers say they are in for a major headache. good afternoon. thanks for joining us. i'm larry beil and i'm kristen z. >> there are now about 14,000 fewer parking spots in san francisco. >> yeah, this is thanks to a new law that goes into effect today that looks to reduce the number of pedestrians being hit by cars. >> abc seven news reporter tim johns talked with both supporters and opponents of the new law. >> for drivers around the bay area, parking just got a little bit harder. beginning monday, a new state law requires cities around california to improve visibility at intersections to protect pedestrians, called daylighting. that means from now on, no car will be able to park within 20ft of any crosswalk.

>> this is not just for pedestrians. this is also for the driver. what daylighting does is it gives clear sight lines to the driver, to the person that's standing in the crosswalk. >> jody medeiros is the executive director of walk san francisco. she says daylighting has already been implemented in other cities and states around the country, and has proven effective in saving lives. just to give you an idea of what 20ft actually looks like, my tape measure here only goes out about 16ft, so it would be thist about distance plus an additional four feet in san francisco. the city's municipal transportation agency estimates the new rules will cause a loss of about 5% of its total parking, or about 14,000 spaces. the law also doesn't provide cities with funding to paint curbs red or remove potential parking meters already in place, leaving parking discretion up to the driver. facts that annoy many people. >> where i live, it's very dense and we're going to have to search around more and circle around more for a parking space. >> john goins told us that while

he supports lawmakers doing more to keep people safe, he thinks the rule is too broad. goins believes the law will disproportionately impact places like san francisco, where space is more precious, as opposed to more suburban or rural communities. >> but i think they should have differentiated large suvs that definitely obstruct vision that can cause problems, as opposed to cars that are smaller. >> that additional inconvenience doesn't bother everyone, though. some say they're happy to spend more time finding parking. if it helps protect others. >> people's lives are more important than a little extra time looking for parking. and it's i don't think it's going to change too much. >> sfmta says it will issue warnings to anyone parked within 20ft of intersections for the rest of the year. after that, drivers who parked too close to crosswalks will receive $40 fines in san francisco. tim johns abc seven news. >> crews are cleaning up a wreck at walgreens in san francisco. a car rammed right into it overnight. the store's front entrance is really damaged. this is at 25th and portrero or potrero. construction workers

were called around 3 a.m. to board up the store until daytime. they tell us this was an unsuccessful attempt at breaking into the atm, and this is part of a concerning trend in the bay area. >> we've done like four different stores. it's all over the area from here to san jose. oakland. yeah, they're doing it all over the place. >> yeah. >> same process. they steal somebody's car, drive right into the door. i've been to a couple of stores where the atm, they try to open it, but they can't. yeah, i don't know how they. how secure those things are, but they don't take nothing. >> the store is currently closed, but the pharmacy does remain open through the back entrance. >> the workweek kicked off with some rain around the bay area today. a level one storm moved through. this was the scene in the east bay out in walnut creek. one of our crews captured this footage of the rain coming down in a residential neighborhood. it was certainly a great morning for all of those trees soaking it up. our crews also captured a brief downpour in san francisco. you can see raindrops dotting the camera lens there at a good clip. this

was at taylor and jackson streets. the storm did dump a bit of rain making for a slick drive on those classic city hills. >> drivers on southbound interstate 280 in san francisco had to swerve around a couple of flooded lanes. the chp closed the two right lanes just before the cesar chavez offramp. this morning. that's when several inches of standing water began pooling on the freeway. the flooding was drained by caltrans crews, and the lanes were reopened and an east bay underpass, notorious for poor drainage is flooded once again. standing water filled the ashby avenue railroad underpass in berkeley this morning. few bold drivers like to plow right through it. that is not recommended, by the way. they stall out, and then you're stuck. berkeley city public works crews showed up after this video was taken to put a stop to people driving through there. the underpass has since been drained and reopened. >> a downed tree caused a big headache for residents in los gatos around lunchtime. when that tree came down along madrone drive near highway 17. it also pulled down power lines

that caused an outage that left 500 or so homes without electricity. p-g-and-e's crews responded to the scene quickly to restore power. today's storm has moved on through, but don't put away your umbrellas just yet because things have cleared up now. but there's more rain in store later this week. >> yes, and for a check on the forecast, let's check in with abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel. hi, sandhya. hi, there. >> yeah, larry and kristen. we do have more rain coming, but not immediately. so let's take a look at live doppler seven. that front came in and it made itself known as we did. get those downpours. you just saw the video there. sierra is still seeing snow while the rain has moved on from the bay area. we did get a good soaking with this system and as we take a look at those rain totals, you'll see what i'm talking about. 4000/900 in santa rosa at the airport, just under that in san francisco. oakland picking up about a third of an inch. same thing with san jose concord. 1000/200. look at ben lomond. almost an inch. and by the way, mount tam

four years. last week, governor newsom also called for a special session to prepare for president elect trump's second term. meanwhile, president biden visited arlington national cemetery today commemorating veterans day. the president laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. the president was joined by vice president kamala harris for the ceremony. this marks the tombs 103rd anniversary and is the final resting place for three unidentified american service members dating back to 1921. on this veterans day in the east bay are world war two veteran was finally laid to rest after his remains were returned to his family. >> he was identified after 80 years. abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley was at today's funeral in lafayette. >> for army first lieutenant herman jerry, son was killed in world war two, in the jungles of the pacific theater, but his remains could not be identified, so he was buried as an unknown soldier in hawaii for 80 years. in june of this year, dna

analysis finally identified him. his 80 year old daughter, diane carbin of clayton, was notified her father died a month before she was born. >> they awarded me all of his awards. his purple cross, his bronze star is, you know, like 8 or 10 different awards. they they awarded them all to me, you know, and it's been so powerful and so emotional up and down. >> lieutenant son's dad's remains landed in the bay area last friday and were escorted to walnut creek on veterans day at oakmont memorial park. extended family gathered as the world war two veterans, grandchildren memorialized him. >> friday night i got to meet my dad for the first time and i got to touch him for the first time, and then just this afternoon, i said goodbye to him. when they closed the casket. so it's just been a lot of tears and a lot of joy. >> a veterans day, acknowledged by many.

the lesher center for the arts in walnut creek brought back memories for some in the audience. >> i'm a little disappointed that veterans are sort of kicked around like political football, but but i do appreciate the fact that, you know, people came to this and they said, thank you for your service. >> this former air force colonel was overwhelmed by the wave of emotion. >> i tear up every time i hear the national anthem. i'm sorry. i believe in it. i live for it. i was willing to die for it. >> in the east bay, i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> rain did not dampen the tribute to america's service members at the largest veterans day parade in northern california. crowds lined the streets of downtown san jose to cheer on veterans and community

groups from all around the south bay. the event has been held for 106 years, a tradition for many families. >> coming up on abc seven news at 4:00, a crackdown on homelessness means fewer people are now living on san francisco's streets. but that doesn't necessarily mean things have improved. and we'll explain why the next phase of self-driving vehicles. zoox says its robotaxis are ready to hit the road, and klay thompson back at chase center, but for the first time will not be wearing warriors colors. how the dubs

does it have to be like this? at kaiser permanente, we have a different kind of healthcare... so, how did you like doctor lum? ...where all of us work together for all that is you.

trying to get a handle on major wildfires in the northeast. the jennings creek fire burning across new jersey and new york. turning deadly. police say 18 year old dariel vasquez, an employee with the new york state parks department, was killed by a falling tree while battling the fire. this photo, taken just hours before his death. >> let's make no mistake this is one of the worst natural disasters. the town of warwick has seen in many, many years. and if things turn south, the threat to life and the threat to property could really take a turn for the worse. >> severe to extreme drought conditions fueling the fire that has burned more than 5000 acres and is about 20% contained. >> we had a very difficult day with the fire making a major advance, and we had a very fluid situation with the volunteer fire departments backing up the state forest fire fighters. we really were able to save every house there. >> out west, firefighters gaining ground on the mountain fire that has

scorched more than 20,000 acres in ventura county and destroyed more than 100 hom, forcing residents out of their homes. >> we lost our house in the thomas fire in 2017, and we moved to this neighborhood after the fire and conditions in southern california. >> still dry and windy. what do you need for a wildfire to grow and thrive? >> you need the dry air, low humidity and those strong winds. so we have that right now. a wind advisory has been issued for all the areas shaded in yellow. >> wind gusts today could bs high as 60mph in some placesd bs through santa barbara and los angeles county. this making it that much more challenging for firefighters trying to contain the mountain fire. melissa don, abc news, los angeles. >> as other parts of the country face unseasonably warm temperatures, this is what most of the bay area looked like this morning. a steady drenching of rain coming down across the region. and this is what it looked like along southbound

interstate 680 through danville. rain pelted the interstate for most of the morning in the south bay, san jose, to be precise. pedestrians broke out the umbrellas at cesar chavez plaza downtown. that's where the christmas in the park venue is under construction. workers did endure some wet conditions, but the weather subsided a bit by lunchtime. >> yes it did. so look, it's nice now, beautiful and dry, but ha ha, is that going to last for long? >> ha ha! okay. ha ha ha! sandhya, what do we have? ha ha! >> i am not going there. >> i fell and kristen, we get a break, okay? before more rain comes in, let me show you live doppler seven. right now all is quiet on our radar at this hour. because we have seen that front go through. and as we take you back, you can see that we did have some pockets of moderate rain, as we had expected today. and the rain did give us a nice soaking. hopefully it washed your car if you haven't had a chance to do that. certainly seeing the snow continuing in the siera

and even some thunderstorms have developed as well, down to our south. now a winter weather advisory is in effect until midnight tonight for the sierra above 6500ft. several more inches of snow, higher totals over the peaks, certainly with those gusty winds. next system is already pushing waves towards our direction, so a high surf advisory starts tomorrow at six and it runs until 6 a.m. wednesday, 14 to 15 foot breakers will bring dangerous swimming and surfing conditions, so keep that in mind. a lovely view from our walnut creek camera. right now it is in the 50s. you probably feel that chill if you're outside today. san francisco, oakland, san jose 59, redwood city 60 and half moon bay 55 degrees along the embarcadero. not much of a breeze, but you recall as that front was coming in, the winds did pick up 61 in santa rosa right now. 50s petaluma, napa and 58 right now in livermore. sfo cameras still some clouds ad tomorrow. mix of sun and high clouds as we head towards wednesday afternoon. our next round of rain is coming in and

the weekend outlook dry start to the weekend, but not a completely dry weekend. i'll show you that in just a moment. so this evening, 5:00. still a few clouds left over going into 7 p.m. i would bundle up. if you do have evening plans, 1030 tonight, an isolated shower up around mendocino county can't be ruled out, but for the rest of us, it's pretty much dry. tomorrow morning we start out with some patchy fog and then quickly we'll see a lot of sun, but then high clouds will come in for the rest of the afternoon and the evening. tonight. bundle up. it is going to be a chilly one. temperatures in the 30s and 40s for most of you. tomorrow afternoon you're looking at a mix of sun and occasional high clouds. we're looking at upper 50s to the mid 60s around the region. certainly will be a little bit milder than today. now we're going to fast forward to that wednesday time period. so in the morning there might be a little drizzle up to our north, but the rain doesn't come in until 3:00 in the afternoon. in the north bay. you will notice around the commute hour we are looking at light to moderate rain moving through, and there could be a few lingering

showers going into thursday morning. so taking you through that midweek time period, rainfall totals anywhere from about a 10th of an inch to just over an inch in ukiah. here's your accuweather seven day forecast. we are looking at a dry period for tomorrow. rain wednesday afternoon evening. it's a level one. scattered showers early thursday morning. also a one and lingering chance on friday as we head into the weekend. it starts out dry, but by sunday night into monday we have another opportunity for some wet weather. so haha. >> we were right. >> we're not done. i let yoo that. yes, she's so good, right? larry? >> haha yeah, so you add a mystery to your forecast. it did. that was my goal. okay, good. thanks. add mystery. >> any time. >> all right. so the warriors no mystery here. they're returning home tomorrow night. and after a four and one road trip, which was amazing. >> yeah. the win last night in okc was unbelievable. they're off to an eight and two start. tied for the best record in the west. and they will welcome a

so that's what's on our mind is in my mind is just to win that. i've been doing this a long time and basketball is basketball. >> i'm looking forward to it. i think we all are. it'll be very emotional. i know our fans are are geared up for it and yeah, i can't wait to see klay. >> i'm not ready for this man. it's going to be a lot to look i mean look forward to. and i'm excited to see him. obviously as a friend. but i'm i'm trying to conserve all of my mental energy for tuesday because it's going to be a lot. >> tomorrow's game is the first for the warriors in the emirates nba cup group play to second season of what is essentially the nba's in-season tournament. we're going to unveil a special court. ultimately, the championship game will be in december in las vegas. they're going to have every one of these. captain klay hats. >> oh, that's your sound. >> oh ahoy matey. is that the. that's going to be as much as klay is downplaying it. oh come on man. like yeah. >> oh no it's another regular

a diamond interchange at fairgrounds drive and highway 37. this is near six flags discovery kingdom. this interchange is the first of its kind in the bay area. it works by swapping the direction of traffic in order to lower the number of intersections, and it works by swapping the direction as i said. officials say this will actually ease congestion. the project is expected to cost $25 million and take one year to complete. i'm sorry i'm so wrapped up in staring at this complicated. >> it's. i'm trying to figure out how this is going to work. we'll take their word for it. all right? it's going to work. yep. all right. uh. a new robotaxi has officially started testing on the streets of san francisco. zoox, owned by amazon, looks and operates

differently than cruise or waymo. some of the other driverless vehicles you might see around town. abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn gives us a closer look, along with reaction from bay area commuters. >> zoox robotaxis have gotten the green light to begin testing in san francisco. our media partners at the sf standard captured this video of a zoox vehicle last week. unlike in a waymo, you won't find a steering wheel. zoox says its automated vehicle is a purpose built robotaxi. >> i think it's exciting. it's interesting, you know? >> scott moore is an associate professor at uc berkeley and director of california partners for advanced transportation technologies. >> they have four wheel steering so they can maneuver in cities. uh- a bit easier. they've got seating that looks like the inside of a train car where passengers are facing one another. >> abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez went for a ride a few months ago. previously, zoox was only offering rides to employees at its foster city campus. >> it's almost like being on a

nice bus. the vehicle is designed to be bidirectional. what could be the front can also be the back. >> according to zoox, testing will be focused in soma right now. the public will have to wait a little longer to take a ride. rides are only available for zoox employees during this initial testing phase. people we talked to are curious about the latest robotaxi. nico mantovani of san francisco has taken a waymo and loved it. >> i've only tried it once and i think the experience was great. yeah, i feel safer because they are uh, because i trust them more than humans, probably. >> others have reservations about robotaxis. >> i see them stuck in the street every once in a while, not being able to maneuver through. >> i'm not sure how i feel about avs being trained in real life situations when there's so many unpredictable things. >> edward escobar is with the alliance for independent workers and previously drove for uber and lyft. >> we are ushering in the new age of ai, and san francisco is the testing grounds. so this is

a springboard for the future of transport. >> escobar says he isn't opposed to technology and innovation, but he says it's important to make sure new systems are safe. >> this is the wave of the future, but we have to usher in the rollout. so it is safe. public safety is number one in san francisco, suzanne phan abc7 news. >> san francisco's effort to tackle homelessness by clearing tents off the street. >> but what does the city do when somebody refuses shelter? i don't get along with people. >> yeah, that's why i'm over here now. welcome, everybody. >> we'll take a closer look at the challenges and why some people say they're actually worse off now and live with kelly. >> and mark is on the west coast this week. hear from

but while the city says there are fewer homeless people living on the streets, there are still areas where problems persist for many, conditions have not improved. >> in fact, some homeless people say they're actually worse off today and abc seven. building a better bay area reportedly online is here now with the reasons that people are not doing as well as you might expect. >> well, we know that the number of trans tents have dropped to the lowest level in since 2018. people are being offered shelter. we know that we walk around the city and things look much better, but the persistent question is where are all those people going? who time and again refuse city services? now we found many of them on one of the main streets in and out of san francisco sixth street. now, perhaps more than ever, ground

zero in an urban war against drugs, crime and homelessness, it's the same pattern we've seen for months now when clearing out encampments in san francisco, remove, rinse and repeat. we followed the head of the department of emergency management during one of several daily sweeps conducted in different parts of the city. are you noticing some kind of progress when it comes to getting people into shelter, getting people off the streets? >> we are seeing improvements. it is a lot better than it used to be. >> the city reports that from august through october, outreach teams have conducted over 3000 engagements with people in encampments. of those, 365 offers of shelter were accepted, and we hope to continue to see improvements and continue to hopefully get people the help they need and to hold people

accountable who need to be held accountable. for example, when police asked two men obstructing the sidewalk to move, one of them threw a portable speaker at them. >> the tent and a tarp structure. here he was in the tarp structure. he's going to receive a citation for the illegal housing today. the other gentleman who was in the tent is also receiving a citation, but he has a warrant for his arrest, so that's why he's going to jail today. got it. >> and there's a lot of those, right? yes. >> warrants. there's a lot. >> while the city has increased the number of shelter beds, there are many who refuse the help, like albert artist, who's been unhoused for 23 years because he says he's unable to live with others after serving time in prison. so what's your plan then? >> i'm going to. i'm just waiting and see if they want to give me a place to myself because i can't. i don't really get along with people. yeah, that's why i'm over here now. >> away from everybody living on these streets has become more complicated and ironically, many

feel more confined. those people who were used to traveling on bart to the east bay without paying are now finding the new, stronger fare. gates are keeping them somewhat trapped in the city that frustration was witnessed when this man tried to confront us. bart police stationed near the gates intervened and asked the man to leave. right now, many of the people we spoke to said the people on the street seem more unstable as they are forced to constantly move. would you say that it's much harder now because this is i mean, this is what you own right here, right? i mean, this is this is it. yea. belongings. >> yeah. i the hardest part is, honestly, is that everybody is so hard up that everybody steals each other's stuff. >> the price of illegal fentanyl has quadrupled from $20 a gram to 80. police believe the arrests they have made are disrupting the supply chain of the drug. but spending time on

sixth street in the south of market area, you wonder how much of that is true. the drug market here doesn't seem to be affected, and when city workers come to clean and do outreach, they are always accompanied by police for their own safety. >> we still obviously have areas that are very impacted with people that are experiencing homelessness, that are experiencing substance use disorder. sixth street is one of those places. >> so the issue remains what to do with those people who continue to refuse housing and services and have decided to take over public streets, as we saw as their permanent home. now, that is a challenge that previous mayors have dealt with, and that's what the incoming mayor will have to face. and we're going to press him hard on that issue. let me say something. we follow these city workers and they put their lives on on the line all the time. they're always at risk. and while we were there, one of their supervisors was attacked

by someone who was not homeless, but he was hanging out with friends who were doing drugs. i mean, they arrested the man. yeah, but i mean, this is what they face every day. >> it's a dangerous situation. you don't know. you don't know what you're going to encounter now more than ever. >> yeah. the vibe is very strange out there on the streets. >> i can't even imagine 23 years living on the street. unbelievable. thanks for bringing that to us. thank you. >> liane. a big shakeup on the san francisco board of supervisors. supervisor dean preston is conceding to challenger bilal mahmoud in the race to represent district five. preston is the only democratic socialist on the san francisco board of supervisors. he posted his concession on instagram last night. mahmoud is more moderate now, set to represent one of the city's most progressive districts, including the tenderloin, haight-ashbury and the western addition. we're still tracking election results for races across the bay area. find the latest numbers at abc seven news.com and look under the top stories section. >> coming up, amazon makes the journey to your home even

bans cars from parking within 20ft of any crosswalk. now, in san francisco, the sfmta started issuing warnings today in january, $40 citations will then be handed out, and we're talking about thousands of parking spaces in san francisco and elsewhere set to be eliminated by this new law, which is supposed to improve pedestrian safety. tim, i know this was the story you covered today. are they going to eventually paint the curbs red so that people can understand this more easily? >> so the when they passed the law, they didn't set aside money for folks for cities to do that around, around the, around the state. i should say. so. you know, it really is at the discretion of the driver. so we don't know if that's going to cause a little confusion if folks are just not going to know about it. but i think that's also the point of this kind of grace period. if you will, from now until the end of the year. they're going to give folks warnings, as you say, but then come january 1st, it's going to be the fines starting to be handed out. >> well, i know kristen, we were talking about this in the break. and, you know, from a safety

standpoint, you can understand it from a parking standpoint. it's going to be rough. >> right? it's kind of a that tension right. it's like you can see the needs of both sides. i don't know what the solution is, but i will say there are other state laws where there are no visible signs, but it's just expected that if you're taking your driver's test, you learn it and know it. and so we'll see how it gets enforced. right. all right. consumers are increasingly pausing rather than canceling their streaming subscriptions outright. that's according to the wall street journal. according to new data obtained by the journal, consumers are juggling rising streaming prices and tight budgets at home. the first to go are usually subscriptions, but industry data shows people are pausing those services and coming back to them later when a hit show or sporting event goes live, streamers are making it easier for consumers to pause subscriptions, giving them an option of how long they like the service to go on hiatus when they hit that cancel button. all right, so it's not like saying goodbye for good, making it easier to come back. >> yeah. but you know, some people what they do is let's say

you have some show you want to watch, you sign up for it, and then you binge watch it, and then you cancel the service immediately. so you don't have to keep paying and paying and paying. >> but it does give people the option. >> i mean, the flexibility, if they can't afford to do it for a little while to be able to come back, you know. >> yeah, i've taken advantage of the one week free thing, but after 16 episodes of the k-drama, my eyes are blurry. i can't think. i just want to collapse. not worth it. i'll pay the $5 next time. >> sounds like a personal problem. ha ha. that's her. >> we're back. walk up music. >> okay, we're back with that. tim, what services do you have? >> oh, too many. too many. but i get the pause thing right, because sometimes we go through periods where i'm just too busy. i don't have time to be watching shows or whatever, and i just. i don't want to cancel it completely, but i don't want to be paying either. so i'm all for the pause. >> you know, if you keep the cable and you're adding all these streaming services, it gets expensive quickly. yeah. amazon is quietly developing smart glasses for its delivery drivers. that could help them

shave seconds off of each stop this according to reuters. the glasses will provide drivers with delivery instructions, turn by turn directions and free them from using a handheld devices in the process. so that means drivers get to carry more packages with every trip, which is good for the company. obviously, with millions of deliveries globally, those seconds do add up. smart glasses might be a tool for amazon to be more efficient, so i don't know. how is this different from remember a google glass when they tried it a few years ago and everybody was like, no, because that was about the recordings that people were objecting to. this doesn't sound like that. right. >> what i don't understand is why do they need to develop their own hardware? can't they just have the software to go with like a hardware product that's already out there? that's more developed? maybe. i don't understand. what does bezos need to do? everything. like hello, tim. >> because eventually. then they could sell them to the rest of us and we'll all buy it. and that's how they make money. >> good point. >> but, i mean, if you want to

do what this describes, i mean, if you have waze and it talks to you through the car, i mean, isn't that kind of the same thing? i don't know, sandy. what do you what do you think? >> yeah. i mean, from a safety standpoint, too, you know, if they're, like, so distracted about what their next stop is, i mean, this would be a helpful tool. larry, i also think that the google glasses like i remember my doctor using the google glass and he would say, i hope you don't mind, but this helps me with note taking. and i mean, i get it. you know, if there's something that you go over and he sees so many patients. yeah. so and in the same case with amazon, i mean they're doing so many of these deliveries. and if they're constantly like having to look to see where their next stop is, i mean this is going to take some time. yeah. >> yeah. that google glass first gen didn't work. but i think in the future it is still promising technology. all right. who keeps an engagement ring when a wedding gets called off? a massachusetts man sued his ex fiance to return the $70,000 engagement ring he proposed wit. for decades, court precedents said the buyer of the ring gets

to keep it only if they were not at fault for the breakup. well, the supreme court of massachusetts overturned that, saying it's too hard to determine who is to blame for a breakup. and whoever bought the ring gets to keep it. oh, so he does get it back. what do you guys think? just a caveat. i don't know what's true. it could be a he said she said, but apparently he did break it off, but only because he thought she was cheating. so the floor is open. sandy. sandy. you know what? >> it's his ring. he got it for her. if there's a breakup, he should be able to get his ring back. that's what i think. whether there was cheating or no cheating. okay, kristen. okay. >> okay. makes sense. >> tim, you're up next. i, i don't know. >> i mean, if it was me, i'd want my 70 grand back. but if there's cheating involved, i think it gets kind of dicey, i don't know. you get rewarded for cheating and then potentially also getting the money, even if you didn't buy the ring. i don't i don't know if that would sit well with me. >> well, yeah. none of us are likely to be invited to the supreme court of massachusetts.

but but but it seems like i mea, regardless of the circumstances, if you're not going to get married, they're just giving the ring back. what are you going to do? sell it. >> that's probably her plan. >> pocket the cash. >> yeah. that's it you should feel that, like, right back here. oh, yeah, i felt that! good, that is so much better than last week. thanks, i've been doing 'em every night while i'm watching tv. - oh, what are you watching? it's a mystery. high quality care that meets you where you are.
