New commission member jumps in with gusto

One of the things I love about Gilroy is the weather. I have a brother-in-law who lives in upstate New York (where I once lived) and we often compare the weather. While he describes extreme cold in winter or extreme heat and humidity in the summer – to say nothing of devastating rain and storms – I smugly describe mostly sunny days and pleasant evenings year round.

Cats now ‘top dog’ in our homes

There’s an old saying that tells us a dog is man’s best friend. But new statistics indicate that this just ain’t so anymore. Today, the pet dog population in the United States is more than 67 million. But listen to this; there are more than 83 million cats living with human companions. Those darn cats. Somehow, they snuck up and took over as the most popular pet in America. Only fish outnumber them (there are an estimated 170 million pet fish in the United States), but that’s only because a lot of fish can fit in one small aquarium.

NFL: Title games highlight four distinctly different quarterbacks

The San Francisco 49ers revealed something last weekend that maybe they knew, but was not a widely held belief around the NFL. Alex Smith can beat you. That's right, he's not just a game manager or space holder for a real quarterback. He has what it takes to win big games under pressure. He proved that Saturday against New Orleans, when he essentially won the game twice _ once on a 28-yard keeper around the left side for a touchdown, and again with a pinpoint 14-yard touchdown pass to Vernon Davis with nine seconds left.
