Never seen anything like this... @AlaskaAir turned plane around, lit. about to takeoff, only to boot a passenger & get one of their own pilots onboard. PVR -> SJC. It's been a wild few days. Capstone. They wouldn't turn around for me. Just saying. #PuertoVallarta #Mexico

At bare minimum @AlaskaAir should give everyone on this flight their heartfelt gratitude. At most, a little kickback. For sure, the person who got the boot should get taken care of. Food, hotel, first class, and two years of high level status. Make it a good story #AlaskaAirlines

Well, "they" (@NWSBayArea) said it would come and here it is. Even a lightning strike off the #SonomaCounty coast with these showers. Be safe out there everyone! #cawx

This is what happens when you end up working when you least expect it. Sweatpants, slippers, and a hat 😂 #lovemyjob
Stay out of the water today. Long period swell and big tidal swings means a lot of water will be moving at the coast and in the Bay. Enjoy from a safe distance and keep our rescue swimmers safe. Never Turn Your Back On The Ocean #cawx
