thursday, thanksgiving thursday, many though ditching the turkey and instead lining up for black friday deals this year. we're going to take a look at how people are celebrating thanksgiving and celebrating black friday too. well let's first get things started by getting the forecast for your holiday. let's find out about that with erica. good morning erica. >> good morning, james, as we take a live look outside waking up to cloudy conditions, it's a little cloudy out there, temperatures in the 30s, 40s and even some 50s, now into the afternoon we'll see a remainder of some cloud cover scattered clouds, sunshine will prevail and into the afternoon, temperatures will range from the low 60s along the coast to the mid 60s inland, so we do have changes to break down in todays forecast but we're no longer talking about the possibility of rain. of a closer look at your holiday forecast coming up in 15 minutes . good morning, george. >> morning erica. as we are monitoring light traffic as you'd expect all the way around the bay area, no delays, problems or hotspots.

take a look at the bay bridge, this is indicative of what you'll find all around. light traffic, north bay, south bay, eastbay peninsula, not even any slowing on 580 or highway 4. jim? >> george, thank you. now on to the latest out of san jose. breaking news here, police are investigating a shooting, kron4 will tran has the latest. >> reporter: as you can see behind me, san jose police officers are still on the scene. they got the phone call at around 4:00 this morning after hearing that shots were fired on the 800 block of state street, that involved a man and a woman who were sitting on their front porch. they believe multiple shots were fired, the two victims described to be in their 20s, they don't know the relationship at this time, whether it's family members or husband and wife. now, i've got a chance to talk to the lieutenant on the scene. here is what he had to say about the shooting. >> he said it was random and unusual for somebody to get shot on their front porch randomly. >> well let's say this. i mean it's very early in the

morning, it's 4:00, these individuals obviously are celebrating thanksgiving a little early. they are out on their porch. based on the information that i have, it doesn't appear that the victims and the suspects knew each other. >> at this point there's not a lot of description on the suspects. they believe one person took off by car, another on foot. and that's the very latest, on the scene and i'll have updates throughout the morning. for now reporting from san jose, will tran, kron4 news. san jose state university taking some heat for the way its been dealing with the alleged forment of a black student earlier this month, but an in depth study shows students of color have actually dealt with similar incidents from professors and coaches and other students for many years. kron4 reports. >> reporter: it took six years of interviewing and research to complete this hundred page report about racism on the san jose state university campus. now what's inside are comments

from students and faculty about their experiences and suggestions on how the school can address those issues. >> having a zero tolerance policy for anything that symbolize an attack on the ethnic group, gender group, or sexuality things like that, this is bigger than just a black issue. >> word that a black student was being terrorized for three months and him finally reporting it to authorities last week sparked protest on campus. >> they wrote the n word on a dry erase board. also swastika's everywhere, put the bike lock around his neck. he fought them off the first time and sustained bruising but the second time, i guess they were able to get it around him. they locked him inside of his dorm room and they broke the lock off the door when they did that. >> the protest was in part expressing their feeling that for too long, their voices were ignored. the campus climate report was completed two years ago and the school disbanded the committee

last year, this fall the commission on diversity was reindicated. a rep says they believe it now represents more ethnic groups across-the-board. that committee has already met once and will meet again next month, now a rep from the school tells us there are numerous ongoing efforts to address the issues at hand. we're told there are also two task forces targeting african american and latino student success. reporting in san jose, kron4 news. >> well that teenager set ablaze on board on ac transit bus is finally home with family in time for the holidays. we actually have video from oakland of sasha returning home, he's in the passenger seat there coming home from the hospital. sasha just finished a three week stay in the burn unit at san francisco st. francis memorial hospital. it was earlier this month he suffered serious burns when a 16 year old passenger on that same bus set sasha's skirt on fire. now sasha doesn't identify as male or female and yesterday

his parents talked about their sons happiness with being home. >> sasha told us exactly which skirt he wanted to wear on the way home and i don't think that changes anything about the way sasha's going to express himself. >> everything is great. we're just hoping that something goodwill come out of this, that this kind of intolerance will be people will realize that you can wear unusual clothing and it doesn't mean that you have a right to attack them. >> sasha's alleged attacker is 16 years old, an oakland high school student being charged as an adult. well todays the annual thanksgiving day meal at glide memorial church and volunteers who spent quite a number of hours getting things together and ready. kron4 is live there at glide memorial with the latest on the preparations and we're what less than an hour away for people showing up for breakfast.

>> reporter: that's right and volunteers are supposed to show up around 6:30 so we'll see a group in 30 minutes just starting to get into the carving stations and prepping for thanksgiving breakfast and that starts at 7:00 this morning, and that will go on until about 8:30 and then you have about a half hour break before 9:00 they start again with thanksgiving dinner which then goes on until about 1:30, but a lot of prepping happens, way before then. these birds were cooked actually days in advance and of course it takes a lot of volunteers to actually put out. they are serving 5,000 people today. that's actually like maybe roughly around 3000 more people that they serve on a daily basis which my mind to begin with, james they serve about 2000 every day but today is 5,000 people, so they do get a really good group or amount of people to volunteer on this day

and it's always really nice to come over here and talk to people and see what gets them out here to help them volunteer, a lot of times it's a big tradition for a lot of families to come out here and spend some time and preparing these foods and then they go home and do their own thanksgiving but it is really actually a pretty fun time but you know, this is their 50th anniversary which i'm just so amazed by that. 50th anniversary serving the community and if you want to help out and volunteer, of course they pretty much have the volunteers they need for today but they need volunteers every day throughout the year and if you can't spend time, you could donate money or toys, that's also something that they need because of christmas coming up, they are really hoping people will keep in mind to be mindful and not give any kind of toy guns and that kind of stuff and it's really for kids 12 and under and if not, this is also a really good

opportunity because of the 50th anniversary, whole foods is donating 5% of their profits on december 4, so if you go shopping at any of the whole foods in san francisco, 5% of whatever they get goes directly to glide and it's really in celebration of their 50th anniversary, 50 years in the community and serving them. >> fantastic, thank you, yeah they do fantastic work there and a lot of folks benefit from that. we'll go back out to live here periodically through the morning. here is another live look this time way out on the east coast. new york, manhattan to be specific where macy's thanksgiving day parade is under way and the big question was were the balloons going to be allowed to fly? well you can see in the shot, yes, they are. although it looks like they are being kept real low to the ground. snap it is doing a low fly by of the crowd. they had some high winds, there was a threat maybe they would have to ground the balloons but they made the call at the very last minute this morning that yes, they are going to let the balloons go up but it looks like they are being kept really

really low. we'll take a quick break, before we go though here is another fun thanksgiving fact for you. a tradition is born, tv dinners, you know they have thanksgiving to thank, back in 1953, someone at swansons missjudged the number of frozen turkeys they would be able to sell that thanksgiving by about 26 tons, so what do you do with all that turkey? well somebody at the company decided why don't we just slice it all up, repackage it, put some trimmings in there and sell it as a frozen dinner, and thus, the tv dinner was born. we'll be right back. 5çwç5ç5ç5ç5ç5ç5ççyçy5ç5çwç5ç5ç5ç

back with a quick check of wall street, at thanksgiving no trading today. the markets are closed but here is a quick look at how the numbers finished up on wall street on yesterday. we had the dow actually closing up 24 points to finish at 16, 097, nasdac finished better by 27 points to finish above the 4000 mark with the s & p 500 also finishing up four and a fraction to finish at 1807. again no trading today, the markets will reopen tomorrow at 6:30. well, hannakuh has officially started as last night marked the start of the jewish festival of lights. it's the first time actually more than a century that the first day of hannakuh and thanksgiving holiday coinside. here is a quick double look at the lighting ceremonies last night. on the left that's video out of san francisco where the 20-foot

tall menorah was lit in union square as part of the 40 year tradition and the right hand side we've got video of the national menorah being lit in washington d.c. we'll be back with more news and a check of your thanksgiving forecast in just a minute. as we go here is another fun thanksgiving fact for you. there are only a handful of places in the u.s. with the name turkey. there's louisiana's turkey creek, it's the actually most popular city named turkey with 440 residents, also turkey, texas, and turkey north carolina, and turkey creek, arizona and there are a couple of townships as well in pennsylvania. they creatively named upper turkey foot and lower turkey foot. we'll be right back.

well, 6:16 is the time, before the thanksgiving meal is even cold millions of americans are expected to head to the stores to find the best deals. folks are expected to spend over $600 million during this holiday season. we have more on the black friday chaos we've seen in the past. >> reporter: the shoving, the screaming, the swearing. let the fists fly. retailers call it the super bowl of shopping, or black friday, but scenes like these

that flood the internet give the bargain battle a black eye. this ugly clash at a los angeles wal-mart two years ago was captured by juan castro. >> all the people just went in there and they just started destroying the boxes. >> all this for marked down xbox games. >> people were fighting trying to get those deals and ladies just started going at it. >> was that moment a turning point for wal-mart? >> certainly. i think we could do a better job atman aging crowds and helping customers get into the store, find the item they're locking for and get out so i think we learned a lot. >> wal-mart says this time, it's a calmer black friday, orderly lines through the store, shoppers will get wrist bands and rain check tickets to ship items that run out, but what won't change are the surprise deals through the store. >> they said 40 seconds and all the people go crazy. >> so wild that this dad brought his kids to wal-mart to

witness the mayhem firsthand. >> that's something about black friday, your integrity? >> these chicago area cousins don't care about the may hem. in fact they thrive on it every year, using shopping apps and meticulous planning to save on toys for their young kids. >> what eight hours of shopping? >> yeah, it was all night. >> eight hours or so. >> seriously. all night. >> and it was worth it. >> uh-huh. >> she spent $960 half of our budget saving $1000 on gifts enough to make her want to dance. >> so yeah, the jig had to happen and i'd do it again if i got a deal like that. >> not a laughing matter to victoria caruso, we've seen enough video of the fighting. and doesn't want any of it, even if it's literally a pillowfight. >> i think they're crazy. to them it's a sport, lacrosse is a sport, black friday is not a sport. >> she shops all online.

sure, she gives up on some of the deals but savors her serenity. >> the savings aren't worth the bail money. >> after capturing the wal-mart wildness, juan castro avoids a retailer on black friday but still can't resist a short outing. >> as you do it make sure maybe some football gear would be good. >> that may be good advice because for shoppers like these, it's game on. >> wow. okay, well a lot of folks are also traveling this holiday. they may be in crowded airports but there's one making the stay a little bit easier. we have minneapolis st. paul international airport now boasting a whole bevy of new restaurants. in fact they may have the best airport food in america. that's their claim. delta hired a company to give concord g a high-tech makeover. they've added 11 new restaurants, with some of the

top local chefs there at the helm. more than 1700 ipads are available at each restaurant seat as well as throughout the concourse, you can use them to order your food, check flight status, browse the web, kill some time, pretty cool experience. back here in the bay area we are watching the weather for your holiday. erica has the latest. >> good morning, james. first i want to point out that we aren't looking at any chance for rain today. we have been talking about it for the past week or so but the models have really backed off on it so now looking at a zero percent chance for showers on your thanksgiving thursday, we will keep those clouds around, however here is a live look outside at conditions in san francisco. right now, san francisco is 51 degrees, we're waking up to mostly cloudy conditions, seven miles of visibility but the wind is calm and again, no possibility for some rain. upper 40s leaving the house in san jose and concord 45 degrees out the door in livermore, santa rosa still in the upper

30s, now future cast 4 predicts 60s by lunch time so it's a pretty mild afternoon. we'll gain a couple of degrees approaching your afternoon highs under scattered clouds so we will see kind of a hazy sunshine. by later on today, 8:00 this evening, temperatures back down in the 50s but hopefully most of us will be inside feasting on those turkey dinners. breaking down your afternoon highs 65 today in oakland and hayward, richmond a high of 64 and 63 expected in downtown san francisco. high clouds continue to move in over-the-air yeah but you'll notice any precipitation we see is over the sea or still closer to the monterey county coastline so again, no umbrellas necessary for today, dry weather will carry us into the weekend. sunny skies not much change in those temperatures for saturday and sunday but take a look at next week, temperatures will take a tumble, in fact only see 50s for the warmest spots so certainly keep that in mind, also tracking a 20% chance for

showers. 6:21 is the time. happy thanksgiving george. >> and to you erica and for any of you that may be driving this morning you have nothing about which to worry. it's going to be an easy ride around the bay. it's like this at the bay bridge toll plaza. it's like this at all of the bay area bridges this morning. here is your san mateo bridge ride, highway 92, problem free with light traffic in both directions and looking around the bay at the traffic conditions, eastbay rides are delay-free with green showing on the roadway sensors indicating speeds of 50 miles per hour or better no delays for highway 4 for interstate 580 for the south bay or north bay ride on 101 southbound through marin county and the easy trip. actually, i guess i got that a little bit out of sequence so my apologies to the control room. i did want to mention too that in san francisco, there is no parking enforcement today. that means meters or tow-away

zones. james? thank you, george. we'll take a break, here is a live look outside as we take a look at our room camera looking that's good news that had been the threat over the past couple days but looks like things will set up nicely for a beautiful thanksgiving day. i love watching tv outside.

and why can you move the tv out here? the wireless receiver. i got that when i switched to u-verse. but why? because it's so much better than cable. it's got more hd channels, more dvr space. yeah, but i mean, how did you know? i researched. no, i-i told you. no. yeah! no. the important part is that you're happy now. and i got you this visor. you made a visor! yes! that i'll never wear. ohh. [ male announcer ] get u-verse tv for just $19 a month for two years with qualifying bundles. rethink possible.

we're back at 6:25. google has actually added a new feature to its maps designed to help travel res this holiday season and beyond and krontech 4 reporter introduces us to the new feature. take a look. >> reporter: good morning. google has added street view for airports and train stations. this feature works just like the street view of regular maps taking you up close and personal, navigating through highly trafficked airports and train stations can be very difficult if you don't know the layout. this can really help make traveling easier, especially if you have little time between connecting floats and planning out a quick run through an airport or train station. this new feature is just in the beginning stages they have only 50 major train stations and 16 airports so far, but they will be adding more soon and eventually they will have them all mapped out. this is possible by their new technology, which takes the google street view camera off their cars and puts them on

humans in backpack form. over the list year they have mapped out incredible places having their people literally walk them, like world famous landmarks, museums, they've done highly desired travel destinations like venice, italy riding the canals with their camera and walking the streets really feels like you're in venice if you go through their street view. they also have street viewed remote areas like parks, volcanos, hiking trails, mountains, places that are really hard to get to. they even put their gear on a skier and street viewed the most popular ski runs in the country, and they have been under water, documenting some of the more popular areas to scuba dive. you can see where this is going in a few years once they have covered the entire earth. that's pretty cool. gabe slate, kron4 news. >> we'll take a break and be back with your days headlines

and your thanksgiving forecast coming up in just a moment. here is a live look outside your approach to the bay bridge where it is holiday light.

it is 6:30 here on thanksgiving, black friday shoppers though already in line to get some of those great deals and kron4 jackie sissel is out there where they are already lining up at the best buy and you've been talking to some of them out there. they've been out there how long? >> well the first person in line got out here at 8:30 yesterday. not 8:30 last night, 8:30 yesterday morning. and you can see the line is continuing to grow out here, best buy set up barricades, people are in tents out here, people brought sleeping bags, and this is a tradition for a lot of people. a lot of people do it every year, traditionally they've done it on black friday but because so many retailers are opening their store on thanksgiving day everything got moved up. black friday, james for those

who don't know, traditionally was the day a lot of retailers would say that's the day they went into the black, the day they started to make a profit for the year so it was a huge deal and obviously the retailers thought why not do it a day earlier and this year, there are actually fewer days between thanksgiving and christmas, so a lot of people are lining up to get those doorbuster deals, and it's not just best buy. it's target, it's wal-mart, a lot of retailers are opening up their doors, early this year. now i had a chance to talk to a few people in line. this guy has his nose pressed up against the door. they aren't open until 6:00 sir so you still have a little time to wait but i actually talked to a person this morning that got here last night. him and his daughter decided they were making a day of it and asked them the question, why? >> sure, the, hannah immediately said yeah, let's do it, because we were kicking it

around and i thought well do i want to spend the time out there alone and she goes no, i want to go, so we said okay let's do it and we threw a couple sleeping bags in the truck and some water and food and bundled up and came out, so it's the savings and i'm thinking of the nice tv we're going to have on the wall and it's the adventure also, so it's a win-win. >> and you know, i have to admit, i'll be sensitive here. i always wonder why somebody would give up two or three days to sit here and save some money. it depends on how much you save. he said he would save about $500 but if you do the math you know it's what? 20 plus hours, that's about $25 an hour to sit out here in the

cold on thanksgiving day. not worth it to me but a lot of these people say that this is an adventure. they do it every year. it's tradition to them, they love it. they think it's exciting to be out here doing it. it's kind of like waiting in line for a concert ticket i suppose but it seems like it's getting earlier and earlier every year and james it's cold out here this morning to boot. >> and some of those folks in like the east coast new york were standing out in line they've got snow to deal with. we don't have that but you're right. it is chilly and this is the scene we're seeing all throughout the bay area. it's part of the story now of thanksgiving. thank you, jackie. by the way if you are going to be enjoying a drink or two during the holiday, bay area law enforcement of course is encouraging you to find a designated driver or come up with some sort of alternative plan on how to get around thisweaken. they will be doing random dui checkpoints, sfpd one of the many law enforcement agencies out there. this is their maximum

enforcement period in place between now and new years day so the entire month of december, additional offers on the roads, keeping their eyes out looking for you if driving eradically. alcohol, prescription drugs doesn't matter to them, they will pull you over. >> there's so many other alternatives. you can get a sober driver, designated sober driver to drive. you have bart, you have taxi services. >> across the nation, more than 700 people died in dui related crashes last year so they want to get that number down, even if you're just planning on having one drink police say you need to stay off the road until you are fully sober. it's 6:34. let's find out about your thanksgiving forecast. erica is keeping an eye on that. >> you've got it. happy thanksgiving james. waking up to cloudy conditions and you can see the high clouds in san francisco right now not dealing with any issues related to visibility. as we head into the afternoon expect scattered clouds, partly sunny conditions, but

thanksgiving looking dry. we've taken the possibility for some rain drops ought of the forecast so really, pretty comfortable conditions, just a little cloudy as we head into the evening hours, and by tomorrow, we'll see more in the way of sunshine, it could be a few degrees warmer in the south bay. expect low to mid 60s for the most part, some of us could actually climb in the upper 60s and we'll go on to a similar pattern as we head into the weekend. now big changes into next week as temperatures will dramatically cool. i'll bring up that seven day forecast coming up at 6:45. here is george. >> well as you might expect doing traffic on thanksgiving holiday, it's a pretty easy job because there aren't any problems to alert you to. take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza on the westbound ride, that light traffic is indicative of what you'll find around the bay. your quick commute check shows we don't even see any slowing this morning on highway 4 or interstate 580. james? >> george thank you. on to more news.

san jose firefighters removed a body found inside a freeway. it was discovered overnight inside highway 87 near downtown. the fire department released the person broke a lot that allowed workers to go inside the freeway overpass which is actually hollow and it appears the victim might have been a homeless person. the fire department says that person was there for quite some time which is why they can't tell yet if it is a man or a woman that they discovered. in our stanley roberts actually recently went along with the highway patrol as they inspected those freeway caves as they call them and was surprised to find what he found inside. take a look. >> the california highway patrol has to deal with more than just traffic enforcement. they have to deal with this too. people who have made the inside of a 280 freeway their homes, and in this case they are removing the people inside.

and usually, the answer is no one, except this time, caltrans brought something just to make sure. it's a remote camera designed to look inside the freeway caves for people and any possible boobie traps. inside they can see all types of debris. this is a power trip that a pierce to be connected to a power source. inside the caves they found fully functioning air conditioning units, playstation consoles, laptops, and flat screen televisions, and many of the cases the people living inside had vandalized the electrical wiring to get electricity, all at taxpayers expense. oh, and did i mention that the space inside these caves are more than three or four feet hyatt best, but extend for hundreds of feet length wise. these holes were created by engineers and used for freeway inspection bus vandals ripped off the metal plates and moved in. the chp agents cleared out these holes the day before and as soon as they leave, people

return. >> you need to get out right now. >> so to keep from playing this cat and mouse game engineers have a plan to seal them up permanently, there are literally hundreds of these caves from san francisco to san jose so this location is sort of a test spot. >> engineers need to make sure they don't seal someone inside the freeway when they close the holes. in san francisco, stanley roberts, kron4 news. >> on this thanksgiving we'll let you know the bay area air quality management district is recommending that you don't burn wooden fireplaces today. it's not a spare the air day or not illegal to do so enrehoping maybe you'll opt not to do that today to keep the air as clear as possible. they had issued air alerts monday and tuesday which did require the banning of woodburning but that's not the case today. it's just strongly recommended that you don't. the winter spare the air season runs november 1-february 28. we'll take a break at 6:38 as we go we'll give you live pictures of macy's thanksgiving

day parade happening right now. don't see them in this shot but the balloons are actually running. there was a worry they wouldn't be able to put them up because the winds were too strong but they decided last minute that yes those 16 giant balloons will float in the parade so we have seen them although they are close to the ground, they are keeping them really close in case those winds do pick up. we'll be right back.

6:42 is the time on this thanksgiving. here is a story, faced for cash. yeah, desperate to raise funds for a new squad car, more than one police chief in indiana takes on a shocking challenge i guess you could call it. drew smith explains. >> i love my job. >> i'm not responsible for anything that comes out of my mouth or anything of my body. >> reporter: so much so he's

willing to get tased for it. police chief danny baker has done it before. >> if you get hurt i'm going to kill you. >> [laughter] >> twice. >> if i get killed you'll never speak to me again are you? >> and he would do anything. >> i grew up in this town. this is my hometown. my dad died when i was nine years old. he was a buzz day man here in town. after he died, hi didn't have one parent. i had 2000, okay? this is my way of repaying the town. >> so chief baker worked out a deal with a friend in town he would get tased if together they could raise $5,000. >> wrote a check for $50, i got another envelope with another $50 in it. >> they need the money for police cruisers. this is the only squad car they have that runs. the others have nearly 200,000 miles on them, but the money is now flowing in, including a $25,000 gift confirmed today. things are looking up now for

the pd. this is what they plan to buy as their next vehicle. >> are you ready for this guy? are you ready for this? >> don't do that. >> as ready as i'm going to get. >> hi, buddy how you doing? >> the 63 year old chief went through with it. it's why they came tonight. >> taser! >> i've got a cramp in my leg. >> [laughter] >> and the crowd loved it. it's off just they love their chief. people contributing what they could as they passed the donation buckets. >> nice to give thanks to all of the donations. we really appreciate it, and i think that's just an example of how small town communities people stick together. >> wow. well they've got the money they need so i guess it was a success. we'll take a break, before we go though here is another thanksgiving fun fact for you.

gobblex gobble right, we typically associate that with turkeys right? but only male turkeys called toms make that noise. females called hens make a sound that's more akin to cackeling. i love having a free checked bag with my united mileageplus explorer card. i've saved $75 in checked bag fees.

6:48 is the time. we are one day away from black friday but already the shopping season has begun. many big box department stores like wal-mart and toys r us macy's, target are all opening today, thanksgiving day with hours of operation beginning this evening. kron4 went out to find out if this is putting any extra pressure on small businesses which are trying to compete for holiday shoppers. >> do you want a gift bag? >> your total is 40.22. >> a busy front counter and full store just what boutique owners want to see during the

holiday shopping season. little sticks sells kids clothes, toys and books, and prides itself on helping customers find the perfect present. >> if you don't like to shop downtown or go through the hassle of that kind of thing, i mean small shops are the way to do it. >> toy buyer kaitlyn crandall tells me the store is not worried about losing business to department stores that are open on thanksgiving because they attract different customers. >> the people who don't shop black friday shop boutiques, because they find the general experience more satisfying. >> just down the street at lavish, the store is stocking up on christmas items, from ornaments and holiday cards to gifts for everyone on your list, and while the bigger competition might be open, owner nicole bald says she would never make her employees work on thanksgiving just to make a profit. >> have a great day. >> taking them away from their

families would completely go against all of my values as a business owner. i think giving people those time with their families is what makes them the people they are for the rest of the year. >> some store owners also tell me they are looking forward to small business saturday, a day where they can offer some discounts and possibly entice new stomers. in san francisco, justine waldman. kron4 news. >> let's get our holiday forecast, thanksgiving upon us, erica what can we expect outside? >> happy thanksgiving, james. well we can expect cloudy conditions but dry weather on this thanksgiving thursday, live look outside from our roof camera, we are seeing thin higher clouds out there but temperatures not too bad. waking up to 50s in oakland and san francisco, 42 degrees in concord right now, santa rosa one of the colder spots at 39 under mainly cloudy skies but visibility at 10 miles, so looks like you don't have any problems on the roadways this morning. future cast shows 60s by lunch
