Expect a snarled commute today: three cars and two trucks mixed it up on southbound 101 near 22nd Street at 2:19 p.m.. Only minor injuries, but Officer Cakebread of the CHP (awesome name) says there's no ETA on how long it'll take to clear the highway. That means more time with you and the light hits on KOIT.

A former San Carlos mayor is filing an appeal of his conviction for defrauding the Belmont-San Carlos Fire Department out of $13,000, by using public funds to pay for a political consultant who failed to win a campaign back in 2003.

As SFist Reader Marivi did in the past, SFist Reader Tim has some suggestions for Caltrain. Caltrain riding readers, any thoughts?

--They might make MUNI free!

San Jose institution Lou's Living Donut Museum is closing at the end of this month, due to an illness in the family of the owners, the Chaviras.

So much bike-on-bike violence -- a 64-year-old woman pedaling her bike off the sidewalk on Oak and Scott was broadsided by another biker going 25-35 mph down Oak. The woman (who wasn't wearing a helmet) is in the hospital with serious injuries. The other biker was found not at fault and won't be cited. The first murder of a paraplegic man in Foster City in almost 10 years, from last week, just got a little more complicated: the authorities think the murder might be linked to another weird incident llast week in the South Bay, where a man went to a gun shop in San Carlos, asked to see a gun, and then ran outside and shot himself. Turns out that man and the victim, Brandon Hepponstall, had recently been introduced to one another. Hepponstall was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident 11 years ago, was an avid horse gambler, and had a criminal record involving an incident where he brought an obviously-fake bomb to the Bay Meadows race track. And a couple who visited San Mateo from New Mexico for a church retreat back in June were sentenced in absentia to three years probation for child endangerment, after authorities found one of their eight children sleeping on the sidewalk behind the tailpipe of their SUV, with the car still running, at 4:30 a.m. No one seems to know why only seven of the kids made it inside the house, or why the car was still running.

SFist loves animals. But even we got a bit of an allergic sniffle when we read about the more than 80 cats taken from a home in San Carlos on Friday. Achoo! And, surely, pee-ew.

No, it's not just your eyes today -- there's a huge 25,000 acre fire north of Lake Berryessa in Napa and Yolo Counties, the smoke from which is hazing up the sky down here in San Francisco (today's inversion layer conditions are trapping the smoke low to the ground).
