Description

Sounds like another beautiful day in Oregon's Bay Area... Mostly sunny skies along the South Oregon Coast with highs in the mid 50s and winds out of the Northeast at 5-10 mph. Mostly clear tonight with lows in the mid 30s and winds from the Northeast at 5-10 mph. Mostly sunny Thursday with highs in the mid to upper 50s. Nothing better than blue skies and a Bay that has laid down, yes, it all beckons one to the outdoors. Let's get to the news...

Very curious to see what this Homeless Count in the Bay Area turns up. Not sure how deep the stats will go, but it should give local officials a better understanding of how many we are actually dealing with and what led to their homelessness. Hopefully it will also differentiate the individuals to see who wants help, and who wants to be left alone. So far, we are working from the problem. This might get us down to the bottom floor where one can find the maligned, but not broken, "pillars of society."
