I heard the news on NPR this morning, and they described it as a "suburb south of San Francisco" without mentioning the actual city. Since I know several people who live in various suburbs south of San Francisco, I really wanted to know more. I mean, 60 houses gone. Another couple hundred damaged. It's a big deal. Tell us the freaking city. A "suburb south of San Francisco" includes how many millions of people? Not helpful.

So I had to look it up on the computer before I jumped in the shower.
