GOLF: Woods to play AT&T Pro-Am

Next for San Francisco, Saints, Brees

Visit Long Ridge Open Space Preserve for views that vary year-round
Skyline Boulevard traces the crest of the Santa Cruz Mountains down the peninsula from San Francisco to Highway 17. Rain that falls on the southwest side of the road collects underneath Douglas firs and redwoods on its way to the Pacific Ocean. Just across the road, runoff goes the other direction, down through the various peninsula communities and into San Francisco Bay.

Warm start to New Year; good time at Willow Heights
New Year's Day in Gilroy 72 degrees ... so strange, next thing you know I'll start to like rap music or, heaven forbid, duh Raiders. Naw. Weird weather, though, freezing nights - like 25 degrees on the westside for nights in a row - and zippo on the December rain meter. And on the horizon 'tis clear skies. Good for golf tee times, but lousy for ski resorts.
