Brrr. On The Cold Side…
Hope your Thanksgiving was a good one. Bit of drama, a touch of tragedy here and there. But we made it.
Bad Night On Area Roads Overnight
A rough night on the roads overnight and on into morning with crashes of all types taking their toll. This one, at Civic and N. Main in Walnut Creek last night, took some time to free the driver of the sedan and to clean up – with lots of debris in the intersection. Sadly, things…
Burglars At Work In Danville Overnight
Danville residents reported at least two burglaries within a short distance and time period of each other in their town overnight. We were made aware of break-ins on Volterra Court (approx 10:15pm) and the 1000 block of McCauley Road (at 10:35pm) with specific items targeted and taken. While we sometimes hear firsthand details of similar…
Weather Outlook In Contra Costa County: Preparatory
Dramatic skies making for some nice photos and friendly tow truck operators sending in photos of yesterday’s casualties. Hopefully we do a bit better today…
The Monday Meanderings
Fresh back from the Morning Walkabout and listening to the joints crackle and pop like that breakfast cereal. Not exactly Force 10 winds out there but so cold our garden plants held their limbs up like needy children when we made it back – begging to be taken inside.

Watching Our Seasons Change And Easing Into A Fresh News Cycle
The 24/680 is transitioning from an Autumnal mode into full-blown Winter as our trees begin to put on their yearly show and snow pelts the Sierras. We get that folks are sitting back a little and taking time away from their keyboards and that’s cool. This is our favorite time of year and we’re trying…
A Little Trouble At Modern China… Fire On Saranap… And, Oh, A Presidential Election
Bit of a riff off the 1986 film but a report of an armed man brought police on the run to the N. Main Street location Sunday night and the long hardware came out. Not sure if anyone was detained/arrested ’cause the police don’t alway inform us of these things but the response got our…
Stolen Lexus Tours Lamorinda, Walnut Creek Sunday
This car apparently attracted the attention of Flock cameras and then police as it cruised through Moraga, Lafayette and on into Walnut Creek a few moments ago (5:25pm). Police were trailing the vehicle back out Highway 24 through the Caldecott (please refrain from posting those ever-ready Tunnel comments, please) before they lost it in Oakland-Berkeley.…
