Why isn't Margaret accompanied on her long walks?

I received a text from the San Mateo County Alert system that she has been located.

I too am wondering why she goes out alone. Maybe she gets out when no one is around. At any rate, I know that caregiving is a very difficult task and it is difficult for the one "in charge" to even take enough care of themselves. I hope that something can be remedied here so this does not happen again.

Good question, cipiazza. This is probably related to a sewage pipeline replacement project takingRead More place nearby.

Vanessa and ctpiazza, Buckley Stone at Pete's Harbor says it is because some time ago the CityRead More dredged near muni and ran a pipe under to spill it out at Bair Island, so it is actually the remains of rotting sea life. He knows so much about this area having been at Pete's for 20 years and knowing so much about the area the tides and the nature and land around here.
