Today's headlines are rife with sex scandals and sex crimes, the prospective collapse of the European currency and European economies, the crashing stock market (the Dow is down 400 points), and the occupation of urban centers by legitimate protestors or violent criminals, depending on one's perspective.

In our quiet middle-class suburb of 30,000, however, it's another slow news day.
Last night Foster City elected three members to its five-person City Council. The
tae kwan do teacher and Olympic medalist got in. Like current and former military men and football players, he radiates toughness. Fiscal
and physical discipline, that's the ticket.

| By 7:20 it warmed to 41. |
Overnight temperatures have fallen to the 30's. After several days of trying to outlast the "temporary" cold spell, I re-lit the pilot light and let the furnace run a couple of hours. Our natural gas consumption has been reduced dramatically because of the
tankless water heater installed three years ago. We have much less guilt, and our bills are a lot lower due to the graduated rate schedule, when we raise the thermostat.
A Foster City woman did float to
the top of the national news, however briefly.
A Bay Area woman said she lost her sense of taste for more than a week after using a popular alcohol-free mouthwash....The Foster City woman said her sense of taste didn't return to normal until eight days after using [Crest Pro-Health Complete mouth rinse].
Maybe our City Council can look into this.
