already coming in toward the part of the city and the golden gate bridge can be a great gauge if you want to see where the ceiling is on the marine layer and when we talk about the ceiling we talk about the bottom layer of the clouds and the bridge is 740 feet high and right now the clouds are flirting with that and that means when they shoot those fireworks off, most of them go higher than that which means as this batch of marine layer builds in and the clouds spread out over the bay it will be a little bit too low and likely absorb the fireworks once they get shot into them. you never know but that is a likely scenario and meanwhile there is not a cloud in sight here and there is that cloud and there is not one in san jose but this is been the drill for the last seven days and this is classic for this time of year and you will get clouded over tonight and you will wake up if you are an early riser tomorrow. it will be gray skies areawide and it will stay that way and i will show you that on the future cast. right now the temperature is 81 in concord and 68 in santa rosa and 70 in s

it is pushing cars into golden gate park, which, in my goal, is to minnies car traffic into golden gate park. it doesn't matter which direction, be it north, south, east, or west. again, that are some of the thoughts i have. last, but not least, i want to add a note to the timed promenade. i see that one of the cons that you listed is schedule confusion. i disagree. i don't know if we really are -- if we actually do outreach in a way that is inclusive and transparent, and that is really inclusive to all of our communities and residents, and in the hearing that just took place on june 10th or 11th, it really was -- my constituents know about it. there was no mailing to goat out to them to tell them about the hearing. i think that comes back to the schedule confusion. i think if we do a better job of informing our constituents about not just the great highway, but all around where we live in our neighborhood, there will be less of a confusion all around, just the way we work. so i think schedule confusion speaks actually more about the way our city agency operates than actually about unde
