We’ve suffering from the weather-related illness whose only cure is to spend every waking moment outside enjoying the warm temperatures…
We aren’t sure if this story makes us feel any better, but here goes… That shooting on Highway 101 on Sunday was “not random”…
We have a brewing controversy since last we wrote… Bonnie Eslinger discovered a junket-happy East Palo Alto Sanitary District. It turns out the public agency which nobody really knows about has Board members who like the go to meetings in nice places (Napa, Palm Desert…) on the taxpayers’ expense…
If you follow local school districts in the fancier parts of the County, you know that education foundations play an important role in balancing school districts’ budgets. That is very much the case in the Portola Valley School District where: The district, still trying to recover from the financial escapades of former superintendent Tim Hanretty, has managed to balance its budget in large part because of a major boost in funding from the Portola Valley Schools Foundation…
If you are coastside today around 10 a.m., you’ll hear a full-volume test of the tsunami warning system… Cover your ears folks, but it’s only a test….
Sadly, a fishing boat capsized over the weekend. The body of one man was found by family members near Pigeon Point and the other man on the boat is still missing.

Here is the big news: Facebook will go public on May 18th. Most us won’t be getting rich that day, but some of you really, really will. Realtors… on your marks, get set…
The DMB offices in Arizona are circulating this story this morning… Eslinger looks at Monday’s Redwood City Council meeting. The Saltworks project could “take a fateful turn“… Drumroll please… Could we all be looking at a divisive vote on the project? Political consultants on all sides can hardly contain them$elve$…
The Assembly race to replace Gene Mullin gets a look-see from the DJ… A good, long read if you have a few extra moments today.
Other political stuff coming out the DJ today is an endorsement for State Senate for Jerry Hill… Sorry Sally, we guess Fear the Beard in politics too…
Finally, if you are out late (very late) tonight, remember, Northbound 101 lanes will be closed between Marsh and Willow.

If this headline surprises you either A. you don’t have a kid or B. you never went to high school (or school high, as the case may be)… Sheriff: Woodside High School student caught dealing pot in school…
Not to be too morbid this morning, but here is the line-up on the Daily Journal today… Rape, strangulation, and mysterious death…
If you’re a late-night driver on 101 in Menlo Park… you’re SOL the next three nights…

Also earlier in the week, we learned that a Burlingame High School student was arrested for making threats against his high school…
he’ll be charged with a felony.
The 280 mountain lion apparently
had a deer snack this week near the Wooside Priory School in Portola Valley… Yum!
The Daily Fetch loves venison…
While we’re Coastside… Earlier in the week,
Pacifica Riptide noted that they had unconfirmed reports that the Rockaway Quarry had been sold. Today, the “
Rockaway Quarry status unclear…”

From San Bruno:
In other political happenings, we would like to point out the Google Ad that appeared on the Daily Journal Opinion/Letters page this morning… Someone thinks that right wingers read the Daily Journal…
Have a wet weekend friends…

Speaking of construction: ”
The Digging is Done” on Devil’s Slide Tunnels. Hat tip to

And even more construction:

More good news, there was a “security breach” at SJC yesterday that caused all kinds of flight delays. A woman went through security, left the secure area, and reentered the secure area without going back through security. At least SJC’s spokesperson was very truthful about the incident saying, “
I don’t know how that happened.” (Fetch loves Vossbrink…)
We’re not sure if this is good news or bad news, but Sal Pizarro at the
Merc let’s us know that Mayor Chuck Reed’s State of the City (see the previous two stories for a preview of the speech)
will be held at night. No runny Convention Center eggs this year apparently…
The
Merc Editorial Board is pushing State Senate Leader Darrell Steinberg
to appoint a Silicon Valley person for the High-Speed Rail Authority. (Remember, Rod Diridon, Sr. was not reappointed by the Governor.) Is there a more thankless job these days than sitting in community meetings in Atherton twice a week?
101 in Mountain View was an absolutely disaster yesterday. We wonder if consolidated city services would have helped clean
that mess up quicker…
Enjoy the looooong weekend…

A
devastating accident on
Sunday morning on 101. The details are too gruesome to write about, but if you were on 101 on Sunday morning (like
The Daily Fetch was) you know that traffic was messed up everywhere…
See you Tuesday…

Lots and lots of news today… actually, there are some updates on old news stories, which is just as fun…
Here’s a headline that will make your head spin:
Striking garbage workers paid overtime to catch up. That’s right… they were on strike, which screwed up garbage collection this week. To un-screw up garbage collection this week, drivers are getting paid overtime. Benefiting from going on strike, that sounds good…
The Redwood City sewage spill seemed simple enough and small enough – 5,000 gallons. Well, now it turns out
the spill was actually 48,000 gallons. What’s a decimal point between friends?
And from Atherton… Sequoia Union High School District (M-A High School) has “
a temporary solution” for the lights at M-A issue. Of course, this temporary solution is the face of a lawsuit from angry neighbors. Which neighbors in Atherton aren’t angry?
We’ll end with these two (related?) stories:
