No one is sure what he's looking for, or why he's so far from home.

He may be in search of territory, mates or prey, but whatever OR-93 is seeking, it's taken him on an unprecedented journey that's gripped wildlife watchers for over two months now.

The most recent update from the young male grey wolf's collar reveals that he's closer than ever to the Bay Area.

"The last reading we received was Saturday and showed him to be in San Benito County," California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Jordan Traverso tells SFGATE.

"He has crossed both 99 and Interstate 5 while he’s been in the state."

How the 2-year-old wolf crossed two of California's busiest freeways is a mystery, as is much of OR-93's odyssey:

While wolf-lovers are excited that the animal's travels may be a sign of a resurgence of gray wolves in California, others are more wary.

Austin has something of a mythic reputation in the Bay Area.

It's come to represent a land of opportunity for those priced out of SF, and especially during the pandemic, an escape route for tech workers no longer bound by physical offices.
sfgate.com/tech/article/t…
“Silicon Hills,” a nickname seldom spoken aloud in the Lone Star State, has come to represent the city’s burgeoning reputation as a tech hub.

And every day more tech companies seem to be fleeing for triple digit temps and zero digit state income taxes.

As more and more Silicon Valley workers decamp for Austin, the expectation is that the grass will be greener.

Salesforce tower was built to stand for centuries.

But just a few years after the skyscraper at 415 Mission was completed, Salesforce announced that the majority of its workforce will no longer be working there, or in any S.F. offices, ever again.

When the Eye of Sauron beamed out over SF from Salesforce Tower, it struck @AndrewChamings as too close to the bone.

"When you’ve built a corporate monolith that forever changes how the city looks and feels, are you allowed to be in on the joke?"
sfgate.com/local/article/…
"Building the tallest building in a city was a common 20th century pissing match.

It was considered gauche when newspaper and sugar magnates tried to outbuild each other in SF in the 1890s, and it took an earthquake to end that ego-off."

Oakland California Highway Patrol introduced the world to a pigment-free procyon named Timmy on Friday.

The albino raccoon is reportedly living on the Bay Bridge, and by the looks of the video shared on CHP's Instagram, he's a friendly beast.
sfgate.com/local/article/…
"Timmy was first discovered by one of our Oakland Graveyard Officers about a year ago. We are unsure why Timmy is so friendly, but one thing is for sure, he’s always watching our six," the agency commented alongside the video.
sfgate.com/local/article/…
The footage shows Timmy living his best life, approaching the officers and inspecting their vehicle.

In the past few months, a new acronym has hit the internet that's been nearly unavoidable: NFT.

Some NFTs have been selling for astronomical prices, and now a San Francisco street artist has gotten in on the craze.
sfgate.com/sf-culture/art…
Best known for the ubiquitous honey bear posters seen all around San Francisco, artist fnnch recently created an image depicting three tech titans' appearance on audio social networking app Clubhouse on March 18.
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Spotify's Daniel Ek and Shopify's Tobi Lütke received the honey bear treatment, and the digital NFT version sold for the cryptocurrency equivalent of $64,610.78.

Within the span of an hour one March evening in 2020, the world changed dramatically.

Tom Hanks tested positive for COVID-19 and Donald Trump issued a travel ban. And then there was the Masked Singer.
sfgate.com/streaming/arti…
To sing the swan song for life as we knew it up to that point was former Alaska governor and former vice-presidential contender Sarah Palin, dressed in a pink-purple bear costume, stumbling over the words to Sir Mix-A-Lot's “Baby Got Back.”
sfgate.com/streaming/arti…
"At that moment," writes @joshua_Bote, "'The Masked Singer' wormed its way into history — the deeply wretched few hours in which Americans understood, at least culturally, that the coronavirus was not like anything most had witnessed in their lifetimes."

California is taking a big step in its vaccine rollout, offering the shots to the general population next month.

The state announced it will expand vaccine eligibility to residents 50 and over beginning April 1, and those 16 and over starting April 15.
sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…
The state opted to open up vaccines to the broader population as supply increases.

"The light at the end of the tunnel continues to get brighter," Gov. @GavinNewsom said in a statement.
sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…
Officials estimated that vaccine supply will flood the state next month, with supply reaching 2.5 million first and second doses per week in the first half of April and 3 million doses in the second half of the month.
