69-year-old Marilyn Hartman was arrested for attempting to sneak onto a flight at Chicago's O’Hare Intl. Airport.

This is the 22nd time she's been arrested for attempting to sneak onto a flight or otherwise violating orders to stay away from airports.
sfgate.com/travel/article…
The arrest came two weeks after a judge rejected a plea deal that would have given her probation for a previous attempt to stow away on a flight.

Hartman is being held on a trespassing charge.
sfgate.com/travel/article…
Her first documented try was in February 2014 when Hartman made it all the way through SFO's security and onto a flight to Hawaii.

She was busted when the seat's real occupant got on board.

Three days later, she tried again at SFO, getting stopped at the security checkpoint.

Two days after that, she was found at SFO in possession of someone's discarded boarding pass.

Amazingly, two months after that, she made it all the way onto a flight.

In April 2014, Hartman boarded a flight at Mineta San Jose International Airport and landed at LAX, where she was apprehended.

Since stepping away from Google, the focus of the 9th richest person in the world is this: building a giant “sky yacht.”

According to reports, a prototype could be ready to take off from Silicon Valley as soon as this year.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin loves airships.

He loves them so much that his 2012 debut for Google Glass involved a skydiving stunt where a team of jumpers leaped out of a zeppelin floating over downtown San Francisco.
sfgate.com/travel/article…
Media first caught wind of Brin’s massive airship project inside the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View in 2017.

At the time, it was all very secretive, but in the past few years, more details have emerged.

For the first time since Cal Poly student Kristin Smart disappeared nearly 24 years ago, police have officially named a "prime suspect" — and are searching a home he once lived in.
sfgate.com/crime/article/…
The San Luis Obispo Sheriff's Office began a search of a home on the 700 block of White Court in Arroyo Grande that belongs to Ruben Flores, father of Paul Flores, on Monday.

Flores was the last person to see Smart alive on Memorial Day weekend 1996. 
sfgate.com/crime/article/…
Until Monday, Flores was never named as a suspect, but he's long been the only person of interest for law enforcement.

Smart's family also believed Flores knew more about their daughter's disappearance than he was letting on.

It's not every day a whale is seen venturing into the SF Bay to feed on anchovies, and until this week, it's never before happened in March.

Multiple reports reveal that a humpback whale has been swimming around the bay for a week now.
sfgate.com/local/article/…
"What's very unusual is it's a month early," Bill Keener, a field researcher with the Marine Mammal Center, told SFGATE.

"It's normally late April they come to feed. This guy shows up on March 9."
sfgate.com/local/article/…
The massive mammal is reportedly over 50 feet in length and was first seen last week near Sausalito, and later Tiburon, feeding on fish.

Whales taking a detour from their migration to San Francisco are a very recent marvel, Keener says.

Oakland has been locked in an ongoing battle with abandoned vehicles.

How did they get here? And more importantly, why is the city allowing them to accumulate?
sfgate.com/local/article/…
Just beneath the bustling Nimitz Freeway, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of cars.

They’re gutted and stripped, covered in graffiti, burned to pieces and exploding with trash.
sfgate.com/local/article/…
In the past year alone, there have been nearly 1,000 reports of abandoned cars.

They often pile up in West Oakland and the flatlands of East Oakland, clogging up streets and sitting for months at a time.

For bird-watching enthusiasts and amateur naturalists across the Bay Area, backyard feeders have provided a sense of solace and a much-needed connection with the outdoors.

But the @CaliforniaDFW is urging residents to take them down as soon as possible.
sfgate.com/local/article/…
Since mid-November, scores of songbirds have died as a result of salmonellosis, a gut disease that is quickly transmitted when they gather at bird feeders or birdbaths.
sfgate.com/local/article/…
The CDFW said bird rescue centers in the San Francisco Bay Area, Central Coast and Sierra Nevada have been “inundated with calls” from residents who have discovered increasing numbers of sick or dead birds at their feeders.

"The pandemic is boring as hell, but I didn't want to live like this," said @madwells22, who had seen her screen time creep up over the past year.

"I decided it was time to actually do something extreme about my smartphone addiction."
sfgate.com/sf-culture/art…
According to a poll of 1000 adults in July 2020, 59% of them admitted they have been spending more time on their mobile phones since the pandemic began.

In April, another report found that the average user had an average screen time of 4.3 hours.

Wells picked up “Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World” by Cal Newport.

It encourages readers to focus online time on a few specific activities, "and then happily miss out on everything else.”
