It ain't COSCO Busan, but it is a boat that hit a bridge. Yesterday the U.S. Coast Guard minimized the threat of a fuel-spill from the boat that crashed into the San Mateo Bridge earlier this week because of high-winds.

The wind is causing problems Coastside as well...

The Guaranty Bank in Burlingame was robbed on Tuesday for the second time in three weeks. It is unclear if the bank is one targeted on www.EasyBanksToRob.com...

"At the end of the day" Michelle Durand sounds off in today's Daily Journal on sin taxes...Which is appropriate "in this economy"...

The local part of $4.4 billion Hetch Hetchy water system upgrades will break ground today...expect lots of politicians, shovels, and the usual back-slapping...

A former Reporter/Editor of several local papers was arrested (again) on drug charges. Brian Bothun was picked up on April 5th in Palo Alto. This just proves that Reporters/Editors love writing about Reporters/Editors. Hell hath no fury like former newspaper rivals...

Assemblymember Jerry Hill (a.k.a. The Bearded One) will honor Nona's Kitchen in Pacifica on Friday...Watch Dog hearts Nona's Kitchen -- and shopping for NorCal gear next door...

The Peninsula Health Care District is headed for a Board shake-up. Sue Smith has tenured her resignation...the Board will decide how to replace her Board seat on April 23rd...David Lim -- get on it! (Thank you Bruce...)

Woodside (and Concerned Citizens therein) are giving props to the Woodside Library's 150th anniversary...they are not, however, taking Watch Dog's advice to cut out the corny puns.
