dominating, sitting over the bay area, keeping us dry and above seasonable. so when is our next chance of seeing rain? right now, the long range model is looking like maybe, maybe friday, november 15th through december 5th. so sometime between then and december 5th is when we could see our very first rainfall of the year. but so far right now, the majority of that storm is going to be staying off to the north. we're talking seattle and oregon. so we'll be keeping a close eye. but for now, the bay area is looking pretty dry, so you have approved to get a car wash. 66 degrees into sunday for san francisco. veterans day on monday, 65. and then that improved air quality will make its way in on tuesday. >> maybe we'll go get our cars washed together. thanks. it is 7:20 right now. still ahead on "today in the bay," a san francisco boy is making it his mission to find out where tourists visiting the golden gate bridge are coming

would like these tourists to leave behind. their mark on his map. >> there it is. thank you. >> the idea came to henry after a trip his family took this summer to new york and south dakota. a lot of people had asked henry where he was from and that got him thinking. one night at bedtime, he and his dad mark got to talking about it. and we were sitting and looking at his wall which has a giant world map on it. >> i said i want to know where people are from. that come here. >> so henry and mark took that map and a bunch of pins down to the golden gate bridge and asked one simple question. >> hello. where are you from? >> i'm from cancun. >> followed by another. >> do you want to put a pin in the map? >> yeah. >> henry said the first thing he learned is that people love sticking pins in map. >> i am from russia, siberia. >> the next lesson, of course,

was one in geography. >> cambodia, right there. >> just remember shalmette, louisiana. >> henry ended up with hundreds of pins in dozens of countries. >> we got two from russia today. >> in the end, though, henry says he learned something else. during his several visits and many hours at the end of the bridge, there was one thing that everyone had in common. no matter what they looked like, no matter where they came from. >> they were friendly. yeah. >> and they were all just friendly. and i think that just kind of builds inside of him and, you know, an understanding that, hey, it doesn't matter where you're from. you're just like -- you're people, too. >> a lesson learned from henry's map that should stick with all of us. >> one of the great things about henry's map is that this is an experiment that kids all over the country can do.

welcome back. it's time for our clear the shelters segment with my friends. mr. arsa hollander is here with barbara paglia. i haven't seen you in a while. >> i know. it's been a while. >> and you're both here with pandora. we were talking about how she would be a useful cat to come home with martha later today. pandora is ready for adoption. she's a 1-year-old cat. she is sweet and warm, you say.

>> she is. >> she travels well. she didn't make any noise in the car on the way over, which is unusual. usually i get a lot of meows from cats in general, you were saying. >> yeah. cats in general don't travel well to the tv studios. but she's 1 year old and she is ready for a good home and she's living with three our cats right now in a room. so i think that she'll do okay with other cats. >> oh, good. and they say cats, multiple cats are great because they kind of keep each other company, right? >> yeah. and they're less to keep up with. >> entertain each other. >> and you have a great deal for anyone who would like to adopt a pet like pandora. >> we have cater day saturday. so all of cats, 1 year or older will be free today. >> which is great. >> it's normally $125.

and that includes the spa and neuter, the shots, and the microchiping. >> you do everything. >> yes. >> and it's completely free. just today? >> just today. >> just today. but monday is veterans day and you have a great offer for our veterans. >> a great deal. we're going to waive all the fees to service men and women and their families as long as they have their military ids. but just a little bit of a very small thank you for doing what they do for us. >> giving them a companion. so we do hope people can take advantage of adopting any pet older than 1 today for free or veterans come in and take advantage. and that's just 6 months and older for our vets. >> 6 months and older for our veterans. >> pets for vets. >> thank you, martha, barbara and pandora coming in. she is a good sport with all these weird cameras moving around. >> we hope she gets her forever
