purposes. i don't want my house to burn again. i don't want to go through all that. >> so they rebuilt exceeding fire safe standards with defensible space and more. >> this is fire proof paint that we have put on here. and then we have metal beams here, not wood inside. >> lisa says 80% of the walls are made of concrete. you know, they're solid. >> so they're basically as close to fire proof as you can get, she says. >> during the build state farm gave its approval, but on monday came an email. >> they basically said, we're sorry. state farm's made a blanket decision because of your location, you're out. >> state farm says starting this summer, up to 30,000 california policy holders are being dropped by the state's largest insurer, including zip codes in high risk fire areas. >> we were told in the beginning that that as long as we didn't drop them during the rebuild process, that they would continue carrying us. >> lisa says she never got that agreement in writing and chances of an appeal on the non-renewal are slim.

>> it's very, very frustrating that state farm won't even come to the table and talk to us. >> in a statement, the company says state farm general takes seriously our responsibility to maintain adequate claims, paying capacity for our customers and to comply with applicable financial solvency laws. it is necessary to take these actions now. nonprofit insurance advocates say they're being flooded with calls from homeowners facing non-renewal, looking for advice about next steps in the big picture, what we recommend is that first, people connect with a broker, a good broker who has access to many more policies. >> we're trying hard to fight to get some type of insurance reform. >> meantime, lisa, now searching for another carrier to insure her new home. >> you can't just blanketly say we're not going to insure this little area. i just we have no trees over our house. it doesn't make any sense. >> in santa rosa. cornell, bernard. abc seven news now our seven on your side team has been

all over california's insurance crisis and hearing from homeowners about their specific cases for months. >> and there are so many people affected by this. see how we've been able to help? check out abc seven news.com/7 on your side. maybe we can help you. >> fire crews are looking into what caused a fire to break out today in oakland's cleveland heights neighborhood. flames ignited inside an extended garage on montclair avenue, then spread into the home next door. firefighters chainsaw the roof of the home to make sure there wasn't any active burning. the oakland fire department says no one was hurt. well, warmer weather today, but we are not thinking of fire season this early in the year and not when there's more rain on the way. >> abc seven news meteorologist sandyha patel is tracking a sandy on the next storm. >> yeah, and the warmth that we have out there. dan and dion, let's take a look at the high temperatures for today. upper 70s in our warmest spots like livermore, concord today got up to 80 in ukiah, 58 in half moon bay and everyone else in between

. we had a lot of sun. temperatures came up. right now, we're still holding on to the warmth. san jose is at 75 degrees. same thing for danville. look at the north bay 71. in sonoma. it is currently 72 degrees in calistoga. here's a look at what you can expect this evening. if you are stepping out along the coastline. going from the mid 50s to the low 50s around the bay, still pretty mild at 7:00, low 60s and then dropping off into the mid 50s inland. we'll call it warm 71 degrees light wind and then the temperatures dropping down to the 40s by 11 p.m. we talk about the rain. the rain chances will be increasing by the end of the week. heading into the weekend, i'll be back with a closer look at not only your wednesday warm up, but the temperature trend and rain chances coming right up. dan and diane. >> okay, sandy, thanks so much. now this kind of weather means we could see super blooms. we'll get a look at whether the conditions are right in about 15 minutes time. so stay with us. >> all right? just into the newsroom now a recount has been

requested in that silicon valley congressional primary race that ended in a tie for san jose mayor sam liccardo secured a spot in november's runoff as the front runner in the march primary. but the competition for the second spot ended in a rare tie between santa clara county supervisor joe simitian and assembly member evan low. now, all three will appear on november's ballot unless a recount ends up with different results. at this time, it is unclear who filed for the recount. >> new details the suspicious death of a man in east palo alto is now a homicide investigation. police say they found the victim off newell road yesterday. this is the second homicide in east palo alto this year. a man died a month after being stabbed on february 8th last year. east palo alto had zero murders. a group of california lawmakers are introducing a package of bills aimed at decreasing retail crime. one key component would expand tools for police to arrest people for shoplifting.

>> we've given law enforcement the tools to fight this, and when they use these tools, they are very, very, very successful. bill. >> the legislation would also add railroad police to fight cargo theft. the package includes seven measures right now, and lawmakers expect to add about five more. no word yet on when they will vote on it. today, it was announced that the chp has confiscated 42 pounds of fentanyl in the tenderloin since the governor's special operation began last may. but how does that translate to overall crime reduction in that area? abc seven news reporter lena howland breaks down the numbers. she's in the newsroom with the story on this. lena. >> dan, both business owners and the city's district attorney. tell me the numbers are encouraging, but they also say there is still a lot of crime and that this is not the time for law enforcement to take their foot off the gas. progress in san francisco since chp began patrolling the city's streets last may, under governor newsom's orders, officers have

taken enough fentanyl to kill the entire city's population nearly a dozen times over, removing that much of it that many fatal doses that otherwise would be out on our streets being ingested by, who knows, that's a huge step forward that time. >> the chp has also issued more than 6000 citations, leading to almost 500 arrests, and they've recovered 15 crime linked guns. >> our focus from the beginning has been increased patrol in these areas of san francisco that have been identified as having higher crime. or, you know, we know that there are, for lack of a better terms, these open air drug markets. >> i probably see 1 or 2 of these a month, which is very unfortunate. >> renee colorado is executive director of the tenderloin merchants association. he knows the issue all too well and says this is the most progress this area has seen in a decade. >> if anything is showing people that, hey, it's not kind of a

free for all anymore. >> but he says there's more work that still needs to be done. >> i think we need to maintain our current intensity and probably even go further, because things have improved vastly in the tenderloin, it doesn't mean we're in a good spot, and it doesn't mean we're where we're at, where we're supposed to be. but we are definitely headed in the right direction. >> san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins says she's encouraged by these numbers. >> they are able to come in and do actually things that for a while, the san francisco police couldn't do. as far as stopping vehicles and issuing those citations. this simply tells us that we are on the right track in getting there, and says she's keeping her foot on the gas. i still see the same challenge that everyone else sees, and so i do recognize that this is only a sign of encouragement. it is not a sign that we are done. we have a long way to go to make sure that we get the tenderloin in the south of market area to what it needs to be. >> similar efforts are also

being made by chp in the east bay, with a focus on oakland since february. the governor's office says the agency has arrested around 200 suspects and recovered more than 400 stolen cars live in the newsroom. lena howland abc seven news. >> remarkable. all right, lena, thank you very much. >> coming up next from the abc seven news i-team, a warning about uber. and it's coming from someone who isn't even on the app. also ahead, what do we want to tackle wi we want to do mental illness. >> do we want to do cyberbullying. like. and miles actually was like let's do both. >> why not? they're making a difference by making soup. these kids are helping build a bet

safety concern to the rideshare company. >> and listen to this. she doesn't even use uber, but she's now hoping to point out the warning signs she saw. abc seven news i-team reporter melanie woodrow joins us with what more that person says she saw. >> yeah, dion and dan, this is pretty concerning. and in fact, the person i spoke with was so concerned for her safety in light of recent anti-semitism that she asked, we refer to her by the pseudonym rachel and not show her face on camera. rachel says she was disturbed to recently see a vehicle not far from san francisco international airport with an uber sticker and bumper full of 15 to 20 anti-semitic stickers, the one that that i specifically remember said f zionism. >> obviously fill in the f with

an expletive. i thought that if i were a writer using uber, i would be very scared if that was the car that showed up to pick me up for a ride, pick me up at the airport. >> the images and words were particularly concerning for her, given the recently announced federal hate crime charges against a former rideshare driver for an alleged october assault on a rider at sfo because he perceived the rider to be jewish or israeli. >> i'm not an uber user, so i went on their website to try to find contact information. i couldn't find any, so i went to social media. >> a friend shared a number for her to call, but she says the uber representative who answered refused to take down any information or connect her to someone who could. >> i kept saying, i have a safety concern. you need to look into this. i think i even mentioned the recent incident at sfo where where a jewish rider was assaulted by an anti-semitic driver and they just refused to take the report. and after a few minutes of repeating, repeating, going back and forth, i gave up and ended the call. they didn't transfer me to a different

department. they didn't give me another recourse. they just kept saying it has to be through the account. >> rachel took down the vehicle's license plate. she says she was afraid to take pictures of the bumper stickers because the driver was nearby. abc seven news shared the license plate with uber and asked if the vehicle was actively associated with someone on the platform. in an emailed statement to abc seven news in uber, spokesperson wrote, quote, everyone deserves to feel safe, welcome and respected when using uber. hate has no place in our society and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination on the uber platform. we have investigated the viewer's report and have taken appropriate action. if they took action. >> it doesn't sound like it was just some random person with an uber sticker on their car. >> uber would not say what the action was. we also inquired about the difficulty rachel says she had reporting what she saw. the uber spokesperson said the number she called was more for general inquiries for riders. uber does have a number of people not on the app can call if they require safety related assistance, specifically, that number is one (800) 285-6172.

>> they need to make it easier to find the information on how to share this information and they need to accept the information. >> rachel has this advice for others be vigilant, be safe, and look out for each other. uber says its incident response team is available 24 over seven year round. also that they do accept safety reports from individuals, including those who don't have an account and did not take a trip. in those cases, they say they may require extra information in order to corroborate the report. >> interesting. all right. thank you melanie. >> all right. moving on to our weather situation. once again. >> things heating up heating up before they cool down. meteorologist sandhya patel is here with the forecast sandra. >> yeah. >> first we're all about pleasing everyone and then we can disappoint them and indian. i'm sorry. no, you know what we need the rain. some people love the rain. let me show you some live pictures right now. there are so many people telling me that they. hello, melanie. love the sunshine blue skies we have from all of our tower cameras right now. it's all good, melanie. you can come help me do

the weather. let's talk about high pressure building in. this is really going to be calling the shots the next couple of days. so today it was warmer. right now. still running a few degrees warmer. nevado san jose up seven. as you look at those temperatures in the 70s inland right now we have 60s coast side really just a beautiful day. and as we look at a live picture from our exploratorium camera, you can see the sun is shining the next two days, summer like warmth with those temperatures in the 80s in our warmest spots. end of the week, a dramatic drop in temperatures and then it turns unsettled. late friday night going into sunday. so tonight, if you do want to take the dog out for a walk, perhaps step outside at 7:00. it's still really nice. 60s and 70s for most of you. 50s along the coast and in the city. by 9:00, those temperatures are in the 50s and 60s. and then as we head towards tomorrow morning, just like this morning, we may have a few patches of fog. but for most of you, it's just going to be a few high clouds. and then by

noontime, we're bumping you up into the 70s. by 3:00, you're already seeing some of those 80s popping up. i'll show you where the ultimate high temperatures will come in 40s and 50s in the morning. patchy fog, a few high clouds, afternoon highs in the south bay 82, san jose 83. in gilroy, a good 5 to 15 degrees above average for many areas for this time of year, with the exception of the coast. 79 in redwood city 74. millbrae 66. pacifica. downtown san francisco 71 degrees south city 73. in the north bay. sausalito 70 degrees. i mean, you couldn't ask for better weather 79 in vallejo, 78 in san rafael, 79 santa rosa heading into the east bay, mid 70s. berkeley, oakland, 79 and castro valley and fremont and inland areas. this will be some of our warmest spots. 80 degrees in walnut creek, 82 fairfield and livermore. now, just as you get used to this idea, we start to cool the coast on thursday. but inland areas are still warm. and then look at the temperature difference. i mean, by friday we're talking 50s and 60s.

you'll need those sweaters by saturday. and an umbrella as most areas will be in the 50s. so accuweather seven day forecast will feature summerlike warmth for wednesday thursday at least. inland coast and bay. you start to notice those temperatures coming down and then it's a big drop in temperatures friday. you will notice that rain chance coming in late in the night time hours. level one for saturday. it's going to be chilly, wet, breezy, a level one for sunday with some scattered showers and then we'll switch that pattern back up closer to springlike levels early next week. >> deonandan chilly, wet, breezy . >> the 58 on that 85. >> let's switch the numbers i know right you want to see the warmth. >> yeah you want to feel it i get it a lot of us do. >> yeah. thank you. >> all right. well, everything is coming up. wildflowers in the bay area this week. so are we on the verge of another super bloom? abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley got out into the open space in the east bay to find out. you can see that lovely backdrop behind her.

she's live from the foothills of mount diablo in walnut creek at a trailhead for shell ridge. hi, leslie. >> hi, dan. it was a great day out here on the trails at every turn you see a rainbow of colors. all the wildflowers are out. and as sandy was just saying, if we do indeed get more rain rolling through, it could extend our wildflower season well, well into may. so the buzzword is biodiversity. the bay area is blessed and this spring showy wildflower display is now exploding in the sunshine on after late season cool rainfalls. >> we're really starting to see kind of this peak of the bloom right now. i think the sun that's helping this week, is really starting to make those colors pop. >> poppies are popping up everywhere, along with lavender lupine experts say it won't rival last year's super bloom, but it will be a pretty spectacular season this year. >> two is very similar to last year, and we're seeing a lot of

blooms start kind of a little bit later. again, this year, which is honestly a little bit better too, because we're noticing the blooms to be longer lasting, which is nice. >> when you have a nice year like this, it's a real it's kind of a race between the wildflowers and the grasses. >> this you see. davis ecologist, says this year, the tall grasses might beat out the blooms in many places. >> if you were here 150 years ago, this and you had a weather year like this year, you'd probably see wonderful wildflowers all over the place. but now a lot of what you see are these very tall grasses, which aren't natives. and so when you go to the desert, what you're seeing is just pure wildflowers responding to a nice rainfall year. good places to see, wildflowers within driving distance, table mountain near chico, sugarloaf state park in sonoma county. >> skyline ridge on the peninsula just don't trample the flowers. >> stay on established trails and only take photos of flowers. don't take flowers themselves.

>> we can have more places for bees to be pollinating and spreading the flowers, and you know it only does good things visually and environmentally. >> so again, all these spring wildflowers peak time the next couple of weeks into the month of may and the experts i talked to today mentioned that it won't end there, that we're going to have a bumper crop of summer wildflowers. something called mariposa lily is apparently the conditions are just ideal this year to have a proliferation of those come summer, early summer reporting live in the east bay. i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> well, more of what we have behind you is going to be great. thank you very much, leslie. just beautiful. >> coming up next, what's blocking women from getting health care that could help save their lives? see what the

and today, health and human services secretary xavier becerra was in oakland speaking with patients at la clinica de la raza who say their services save lives. abc seven news reporter ryan curry was there to spotlight some of the people working to build a better bay area uh- at this round table. >> these patients share traumatizing stories. >> one time i got a knife and i

told my mom, i'm going to kill you. >> they didn't want their faces shown or names shared, but they battled mental health issues. >> it was very important for me to know that later on that i did that to my own mother and that happens every every year. two times a year. >> this woman says her violent episodes are less frequent. after receiving life changing care at la clinica de la raza in oakland, and helping more people like her is what health and human services secretary xavier becerra wants to accomplish. >> we think that what we can do is show that everyone can have access to the care that they need, because health care is not a commodity. he was in oakland tuesday as part of a nationwide tour to expand mental health care in hispanic and latino communities, a mission he says is crucial. >> after hearing stories from these patients. >> what we want is for families to understand they should not wait until things get so bad that they have to go to an emergency room. >> but how do they expand to help more people? he says it starts with outreach. more people need to know. places like la clinica de la raza exist.

>> there are fabulous centers of health care that are waiting to connect with you and they're waiting to help you get back on your feet. >> la clinica ceo jane garcia is already working on it. she says they are expanding to another location and will soon be able to serve more people. she says they have been around for over 50 years, but are frequently telling people about their services, which include helping people sign up for health insurance. >> because of our 53 years, people know about our services, but we have community workers that do the outreach and connect people to not only services, but if they are eligible for medi-cal or other insurance. we help them with that process, she says. >> the more people they help, the more lives they can change in oakland. ryan curry, abc seven news. >> the arizona supreme court is reinstating a 160 year old law criminalizing all abortions, except when a mother's life is at stake. the law makes no exceptions for rape or incest, and makes performing an abortion

punishable by 2 to 5 years in prison. the ruling will take effect in 14 days. arizona's democratic attorney general says her office won't enforce the law . a new cdc study finds many women aren't getting regular mammograms because they can't afford them. breast cancer causes more than 40,000 deaths in america, each year, and it's estimated that routine mammograms can help reduce that death rate by more than 20. research shows. deaths are more prevalent among black women and women of lower socioeconomic status. >> coming up next, more from our closer look at the ongoing push for reparations here in california. >> people, when you talk to them about this, repairing the harm framework, you see, you see the fire here, what's being done to grow public support for the cause and whether there's enough political will in sacramento to pass the legislation being cons

originals documentary, california's case for reparations. >> our abc seven race and social justice reporter julian glover examines the amount of public support for reparations and if there is the political will in sacramento to pass the legislation currently being considered. >> it's powerful reporting, and julian is here now with some of the insights from today's piece. >> today, it's all about looking at the movement. and we've certainly been documenting that growing movement for reparations to repair the harms of slavery and discriminatory policies. while california is the first to study this, it's not alone. now the city of san francisco, as you've seen me report right here, and a number of other cities and counties are joining in on this movement. >> we have much more work to do. but this apology most certainly is an important step. and one of the over 100 recommendations made by the african american reparations and advisory committee. thank you. this resolution is approved. >> same house, same call. the resolution is adopted unanimously. >> when i see the way that this

is spreading, when i see that a spark has been lit and that people when you talk to them about this repairing the harm framework, you see, you see the fire. and that tells me that will prevail. >> let's be clear about what reparations means. >> a growing number of states, counties, even cities have set up groups to study the lingering effects of slavery and anti-black racism. the creation of these groups has not guaranteed support for reparations, however, and to those who think that even having this conversation is unfair or wrong, i say it would be wrong not to have it. though there has been some momentum in recent years. in 2020, california was the first state to create a task force to study the harms of the state's anti-black policies and develop a plan to make those

affected and their descendants whole. in 2021, evanston, illinois, became the first city in the country in modern history to pay out some form of reparations $25,000 to eligible black residents for home repairs . 16 lucky residents received the money out of more than 100 applicants. funds were raised in part by a cannabis tax. in 2022, the city and county of san francisco became the first major u.s. city to study the effects of anti-black racism, and released an extensive plan to repair those harms. three other counties alameda in the san francisco bay area, fulton county, georgia, and shelby county, tennessee have developed task forces. nearly a dozen cities from los angeles, philadelphia, detroit, saint paul, minnesota, boston, and providence have done the same in 2024, new york is poised to become the second state to form a task force to study and develop reparations. black lives

matter, black lives matter. the momentum for establishing committees to study reparations is largely in response to the movement for black lives that exploded in the summer of 2020 following the murders of george floyd and breonna taylor, when millions of all ages and races marched in the streets to proclaim black lives matter. >> the report recommendations provide us the tools. >> the question now how do you repair those black lives? how do you make them whole? people are split harm and to finally begin to heal. >> that's why lisa holder of the california reparations task force, believes public education will be key. so the public education campaign is going to be critical. >> holder launched the alliance for reparations reconciliation and truth with the help of some of the other task force members to build a public awareness campaign. so far, more than 500 local, state and national organizations have signed on to show their support of the

reparations task force. >> obviously, from a numbers game, it is mission critical, right? because if you're only 5% of the population, it's going to be very difficult to get the legislators to pay attention to you. so you need a critical mass of the public to stand behind and lift up reparations. and in order to get a critical mass, that's going to have to be across sectors, across races, across religions and across issues. >> so, so many folks are wondering, where does public support stand? one california poll showed less than half support the work of the task force. another showed more than 60% of people surveyed support both cash payments and a formal apology for the atrocities of slavery and decades of discrimination policies enacted by state and local government. still to be told whether that support actually translates into legislation, into something happening in sacramento of

course, we'll be following that every step of the way. >> there's real movement, but we have a long way to go. >> exactly. >> so thanks, julian. appreciate it. >> now you can get the full picture when you screen the documentary california's case for reparations is available on demand. you can watch it on abc seven news.com and wherever you happen to stream abc seven news coming up, here are california's efforts to help the homeless making a difference. >> the truth is, the state might not even know. >> plus, building a better bay area through some good old fashioned home cooking, we introduce you

using our brand new grocery outlet app. it's been really fun seeing what everyone's doing with the extra money they save. nice shirt. just got back from vacation. a butler? super nice guy. i got to start using the app.

also evaluated, including one here in the bay area. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes has the story. >> just validates everything that advocates have been saying for a long time. we've been saying, where's the responsibility? where's the accountability? and we were right. >> reaction tuesday from an advocate to the unhoused. after this state audit was released, it found that california spent $24 billion over five fiscal years in efforts to end homelessness, but didn't consistently track the outcomes of the work or effectiveness of the programs. state senator dave cortese requested the audit in 2023, after he said he was getting questions from constituents about why the state wasn't doing more. >> i talked about the billions of dollars that have been included in the state budget, appropriated and forwarded to the cities and to the counties to some degree, but obviously people are looking for more specific responses than than generalizations. >> so cortez said he reached out to the city of san jose to see if it had more specific information. >> we weren't able to get that

information readily, thus leading to this this audit, as part of the look into the state's performance, cortez asked the state auditor to look into san jose. >> it was audited along with san diego. the report found that both cities failed to effectively track revenues and spending due to lack of spending plans. san jose mayor matt mehan reacted to the report tuesday. >> state, county and every city should have a uniform program for measuring the efficacy of these programs. we're committed to that in san jose. that's why we've stood up. dashboard boards to track our spending. and i'd like to see a uniform system statewide. >> cortez says the new information brought to light by the audit can help lawmakers form solutions. we think that in the days ahead, this audit will establish some somewhat of a blueprint for legislative direction and guardrails going forward, you know, to improve upon, you know, some of these areas, these deficiencies and these systemic issues that that the audit, calls out in san jose, zach fuentes, abc seven

pivotal game for the warriors tonight in l.a. as they face off against a lakers team they might meet in the play-in tournament. steph curry back for the warriors after one game against anthony davis. you know he had the eye injury, but he's out tonight because of a headache and nausea, lebron james said to be a game time decision nursing a sore ankle. but the expectation is he is going to play klay thompson. he's definitely playing coming off a 32 point game against the jazz on sunday with only four games left in the regular season, the dubs basically need every win if they want to get to the ninth or

maybe a stretching it to the eighth spot. after a season that's been filled with ups and downs, warriors have discovered some chemistry. the young guys have figured out their roles playing well, and klay says a visit to the beach in miami two weeks ago helped the dubs spirit. they've won seven of eight since. >> you just get to go to the ocean and you get to go to the beach and you can throw a football, you get to swim, you get to, just be free and have fun. i think that really just sets your mind free and it was just so fun to be down there with the guys and just have a day away from the court that really, i think had us bond well together. and i think that was a huge turning point. i'm sure everyone got their feet in the sand, which is a form of grounding, which is very important. >> yes, it is jumping in the water to blake snell's giants debut, and it didn't go as planned. after signing a $62 million contract very late in the spring. that's part of the problem. the two time cy young award winner, essentially, he had no spring training, and it showed in an eight one loss to the nationals. snell got off to

a good start, actually struck out the first batter he faced as a member of the giants, but then struggled with his command, which has been an issue through the years. overall, allowed three runs in three innings. he threw only six more strikes than balls. snell limits he was too amped up for his first giants outing. >> i just said i was pretty amped up and i was trying to nitpick the zone too much and made the bullpen have to cover a lot of innings that they shouldn't have had to cover. i'm excited where i'm at, how the ball is coming out. i'm only going to get better. it's going to get more crisp, so first game happy. it's out the way. a lot to learn from it. and, really looking forward to what i'll be able to do sunday against tampa giants. >> and that's tonight. baseball's uniform issues continue. you know through pants now they have tearaway pants. this is riley green of the tigers slid into home. and you see his his pants seam didn't really it didn't withstand the slide a massive rip fanatics has been under fire

all season long, since they started making these uniforms. it's just kind of comical that you can't slide in without ripping your pants, tiger woods, five time masters champion. and after a second practice round today, feeling kind of confident despite being 48 years old and only playing 24 holes on the tour this season, tiger thinks he's got one more green jacket in him. >> if everything comes together, i think i can get one more. want me to describe any more than that or pretty good i heard every day. yeah yes, i ache i ache every day. and, i, i prefer it warm and humid and hot and, and we're going to get some thunderstorms, so at least it'll be hot. >> he aches every day. sounds like me and dan. oh. abc seven sports. sponsored by your northern california. funny how that has. >> yes. yeah. >> and, you know, maybe we have

one more green jacket left in us, too. possibly. but hope springs eternal. but we'll have to buy it from macy's or something like that. >> oh, my gosh, the way you guys talk, we're going to be the only ones standing. sandy. right. that's what it sounds like. yeah. >> ravages of time. oh, my. it's the business, ladies. it's the business. >> what to look forward to in my life. all right. tonight on abc seven at 8:00, it is will trent that is followed at nine by the rookie at ten. the good doctor then of course, stay with us for abc seven news at 11. and of course, reminder that abc seven news is streaming 24 seven. get the abc seven bay area app and join us wherever you want, wherever you happen to be. and that's it for this edition of abc seven news. >> i'm diane lim and i'm dan ashley for sandyha patel. larry biel you're all right struggling through it. we appreciate your time. we'll have a great evening. we'll see you again in a little. >> i almost choked on a piece of coconut earlier. what bad shape?
