San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose have NEVER seen a 90° day in the month of March. Next week we could have several days of 90°+. This will be an unprecedented March heat wave beginning Monday. For context, temperature records in SF go back to 1874.

I feel foolish and dumb that they got as far as they did. But, rightly or wrongly, I consider myself pretty hard to fool. [Maybe I need to reconsider my own abilities (clearly, I do)]. But, this was sophisticated enough I figured I should warn others. (16/16)

#ScamWarning: someone id'd themselves on the phone to me as being a part of the San Mateo County Sheriff's office. He said there was a warrant for my arrest for failing to appear in court. He said I'd been summoned for jury and didn't show up. (1/16)

[Susanne Rust @susrust]

Here's the thing: I googled the guy's name. It checked out. There is a SMC Dep sheriff w/same name. I asked for the judge's name: Check. The address for the sheriff's office: Check. Even the phone # they called from shared the first 6 digits of the real SMC office. (15/16)
