It’s 6:50 a.m. 60° and headed to a high of 73°. Details are here.

Here’s a bit of nostalgia for your Tuesday morning. The cassette tape is no longer in the Oxford English dictionary, well the “concise” version anyway.

Are you stressed out? It looks like you’re not the only one. Forbes released its list of America’s Most Stressful Cities, and San Francisco ranks 7th. What’s stressing us out? The high unemployment rate, the cost of living, and expensive housing.

In restaurant tipping news, remember that story about restaurant workers demanding 25 percent tip? The Golden Gate Restaurant Association says it’s a “complete fabrication.”
