The highlights for the San Francisco 49ers during their 30-18 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday were few and far between.
Off the field, however, one fan’s outfit proved to be so entertaining that it garnered serious national attention. sfgate.com/49ers/article/…
In the third quarter of "Sunday Night Football," the game’s broadcast panned to a Niners fan in the crowd who braved the dreary elements brought on by an atmospheric river and wore just a swimmer’s cap and a pair of swimming goggles.
His dad, Dan Parish, tells SFGATE that not only was the outfit entirely his kid’s idea, but also that it was originally supposed to feature snorkeling headgear and pool noodles, the latter of which was vetoed by Parish.
Connor did not enter Levi’s Stadium shirtless with goggles on, so the question became when the best time would be to switch into his costume.
Dan suggested during the next downpour, which happened in the second half, right as he went to get food for his family.
Over and over again, for every selfie request, people asked Connor if he was cold. Parish recalls his son's response: “I’m cold-blooded. I’m fine!”
This Sunday was the wettest October day in downtown San Francisco since records began, as the deluge dropped over 4 inches of rain on the city. sfgate.com/california-par…
The "bomb cyclone" aka "atmospheric river" aka mega-drought-crusher drenched the Bay Area, but also brought life to the parched waterfalls of Yosemite and snow to the Sierra, resulting in some stunning imagery.

Data from the U.S. Geological Survey shows that water levels at the Tahoe City dam rose almost half of a foot in 24 hours. Meanwhile, more than 2 feet of snow accumulated on the mountaintops surrounding the Tahoe Basin.

"It was about what we anticipated," said @NWS meteorologist Sean Hayes of how the storm unfolded.
"It was a strong event, anomalously strong for this time of year."
Meteorologist Jan Null of Golden Gate Weather Services created a Bay Area Storm Index that ranks storms by strength, based on wind and rainfall totals, using data going back to 1950.
The recent atmospheric river tied with two other events for third-strongest storm in 71 years.
The city’s only In-N-Out location was closed by the SF Dept. of Public Health (@SF_DPH) last week because employees “were not preventing the entry of Customers who were not carrying proper vaccination documentation,” according to a statement from #InNOut: sfgate.com/food/article/S…
The location at 333 Jefferson Street has since reopened, but indoor dining is unavailable, a spokesperson for In-N-Out told SFGATE.
Though the restaurant had posted signage informing customers of local guidelines — which requires indoor diners to show proof of vaccination, per @SF_DPH's order — In-N-Out's Chief Legal and Business Officer Arnie Wensinger said the chain shouldn't have to enforce those policies:
SFGATE columnist Rod Benson, 6-foot-10, has a hot take... depending on your perspective. dlvr.it/S9sZvN
Columnist Rod Benson was at a bar watching a game when his phone vibrated. His friend had tagged him in a tweet about tall people standing in front of shorter people at a concert and blocking the view of others.
One reply to Benson said “Nah. At least go to the side at a show. If you don’t need to climb on a cabinet to get a cup in your own home, I’m not here for ya.”

It started innocently, with people sharing memories of the park on the "Vintage Disneyland" Facebook page with the phrase “My Disneyland had …” My Disneyland had the Welch’s Grape Juice stand. My Disneyland let you fly through the Matterhorn on the Skyway
But the internet being the internet, things took a dark turn, fast. “My Disneyland didn’t let wokeness ruin rides” was a common theme.
