Due to the refreshingly gorgeous weather we're having -- from the windows outside SFist headquarters on busy Third Street, it seems that many of you took the day off; it's practically barren outside! -- many folks took to boating in the Bay over the weekend. One incident in particular resulted in a family's boat being capsized. You see, during a Father's Day cruise in the water on Sunday, a father and his two kids had to be "rescued 500 yards south of Ballena Bay in Alameda when their 19-foot aluminum boat capsized before 11:40 a.m." more ›

If you're thinking about a casual, bucolic Sunday drive up to Sonoma this weekend, please be advised that the now annual Father's Day installment of NASCAR will be descending on Infineon Raceway, complete with a legion of loyal male fans and a possible repeat appearance by Tom Cruise and his son. That intersection of Routes 121 and 37, therefore, will be all snarled up and crazy by late afternoon/early evening, and you will be kicking yourself for not keeping track of such things as you sit, buzzed and tired, in your car trying to get back to the city.
