Major delays to come amid big road closures on Highway 50 in Northern California
(FOX40.COM) — Drivers in Northern California are expected to face big road closures along Highway 50 amid Father's Day weekend and beyond, according to the California Department of Transportation.
Caltrans warned motorists of a scheduled 79-hour closure in effect from June 13-17 as part of the ongoing $280 million Interstate 80 and U.S. Highway 50 Pavement Rehabilitation Project in Yolo County.
What is No Kings Day?
Delays are expected from the Yolo I-80/ US 50 split to Jefferson Boulevard and west of I-5.
The closure is scheduled on a section of U.S. Highway 50 in West Sacramento from 9 p.m. Friday, June 13 until 4 a.m. Tuesday, June 17. The department urged motorists to plan, expect delays, and use the designated, signed detour routes.
The closures also include an A's home game scheduled for June 16 against the Houston Astros at Sutter Health Park. Caltrans said fans who are coming from eastbound I-80 will stay on eastbound I-80 to southbound I-5, and back down to westbound US-50 to access the ballpark.
How does ICE know who to deport?
'Please allow for additional travel time on game day,' Caltrans said.
Additionally, Caltrans said to be on 'work zone alert' and to slow down in construction zones for the safety of travelers and crews performing these improvements.
The extended full highway and ramp closures for pavement replacement work will reportedly shorten the expected project completion time and improve workers' safety. According to Caltrans, the construction schedule is subject to change or be delayed by weather, availability of materials, or other unexpected events,.

‘Looks Like We Both Winning:' Lyft Customer Gets Charged $80 for Ride. Then She Asks Her Driver This Question That Saves Her $40
Taking a rideshare like Lyft or Uber is easy and convenient, but it can also be expensive for some rides. A content creator says she has a simple trick to cut the costs of your next rideshare. Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . TikToker Valuable V ( @vistheway ) posted a video about how she lowered the cost of a Lyft ride in a way that benefited both her and the driver. The post went viral with 8.4 million views as of this writing. It prompted a thoughtful discussion among viewers. Many shared how this tactic can save money and even land you a private driver. How Did She Save $40 On a Lyft? In her post, Valuable V says she saved $40 by asking the driver a simple question: 'How much is Lyft paying you for this ride?' The ride was locked in at $80, she says. The driver informed her they were only getting paid $20, however. 'Cancel the ride and here is $40 cash,' she says she offered the Lyft driver. They accepted, she says. 'All these charges for these rideshare people… Let me make a deal for you!' she captions the post. Others claim they have done the same. 'I did this and found an everyday driver,' one commenter shared. 'This happened to me. They were giving the driver $50 and charged me almost $300. Canceled and gave him $150,' another rider said. 'I offered this one time and the rider hired me as his private driver. I work no other jobs and can afford my entire life,' a purportedly former rideshare driver said. How Does Lyft Pricing Work? Lyft operates using dynamic pricing. Dynamic pricing bases products or services' prices on evolving market trends, Harvard Business School reports. Trending Now 'I Listed It For a Fair Price:' Man Lists Jeep on Facebook. Then a Prospective Buyer Brings a Friend Named 'Tommy Roughknuckles' 'Do Not Leave Your Car Out in the Heat:' Woman Says It's So Hot Her Grandmother's Buick's Tires Exploded. Is That Possible? As Lyft Engineering explains, 'Dynamic pricing aims for optimizing the entire rideshare network by looking at both riders and drivers to improve the throughput of rides. The algorithm starts counting and gathering input signals, and then trying to find a reasonable balance between demand and supply.' On Lyft's website , the company explains that fares are determined by estimated time and distance to complete the ride and distance to the pickup. The fare also depends on what's going on in your area, such as the number of ride requests, how many drivers are on the road, and how busy it is at the destination. It basically means that a ride costs more when there's higher demand, such as during rush hour or after a large sporting event, or fewer drivers, like in the middle of the night. The former is referred to as surge pricing. How Much Do Lyft Drivers Get Paid? According to Glassdoor , the average pay for a Lyft driver ranges from $17-23 an hour. Business Insider reports the hourly rate can be as low as $9-12 and up to $23-28. The wide variance between hourly rates is because pay is based on a variety of factors, such as tips, expenses, and how Lyft calculates the fare and fees. The rideshare industry has faced criticism for purportedly underpaying drivers. Last year, over a hundred people commented on a Reddit thread asking about Lyft drivers' pay. 'I recently had a driver who told me that out of a $120 fare he was only paid $20,' a redditor asked. 'Surely that must be a lie? I can't see Lyft charging the customer $120 and only paying the driver $20, so I've come here to ask if this could be true?' A Redditor who says they drive for the company commented, 'I had a ride last week that paid $92 and I got $12. Lyft is straight thieves.' 'Not a lie. This Saturday they were charging about $100 for an airport ride and paying like $25' another purported driver added. Lyft told Motor1 , "Drivers are essential to our purpose. That's why we've released a series of new features aimed at increasing driver pay. This includes an earnings commitment that ensures drivers always make at least 70% of the weekly rider fares after external fees.' This means that if a driver's earnings fall below that threshold in a given week, Lyft will pay them the difference, minus the external fees. According to Lyft, these are all the external fees that can take away from the driver's pay: Commercial auto insurance & other risk-related costs, Airport fees, Data processing fees, Payment processing fees, Sales tax, Government fees, and Ancillary insurance fees. Lyft told Motor1 that there's yet another fee that impacts driver pay but is largely outside its control: Car insurance. "It's also important to remember that runaway insurance costs are taking up an increasing percentage of the total rider fares,' the company said. 'That's bad for both riders and drivers, and it's why we are working with state lawmakers across the country to pass common-sense insurance reform that will help get these costs under control." People concerned about Lyft and other rideshare drivers' pay can always opt to take Valuable V's advice. 'This lowkey is something everybody should start doing,' one person commented.

Top California Winery Releases Cool Climate Chardonnay And Pinot Noir Wines
Hawaii getty As the sun glistened off the crystalline, turquoise-colored water, it consumed the young man with its sheer exquisite transparency, knocking the wind out of him as he couldn't fully imagine its effect on him, as the pictures couldn't do it justice. Then, a quick, deep breath filled his lungs with the unadulterated air, which gave his weary bones, subjected to too many harsh winters, a jolt of renewed life that was much needed. Jeff Crawford, when recently graduated from high school in Minnesota, sought a different type of life experience and ended up living in Hawaii, working for an artisanal oyster mushroom farmer. Although he initially thought it would be an ideal way to briefly recharge after the intense pressures of having to map out his future, he ended up staying a lot longer than he intended. Sonoma vineyard getty It turned out that the man who ran the mushroom farm had once been a winemaker in Sonoma and introduced Jeff to many of California's great wines. The aromas, flavors and textures blew his mind, and it opened his eyes to the transcendent experience these wines can have on the drinker. Wine quickly became a passion of his, especially since his boss, also a man he calls his mentor, would occasionally return to Sonoma to make wine as a hobby at one of his friend's places. At a certain point, Jeff moved from Hawaii to Sonoma, where he assisted his mentor with winemaking to learn as much as possible. He became fascinated by every nuance involved in vineyards and wineries. Jeff ended up working at a top winery in Napa Valley, Merryvale Vineyards, and through time worked himself up to the head winemaker position. One of the projects he is currently overseeing is relocating their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay production from Carneros to the Sonoma Coast, making a stronger commitment to Merryvale's goal of crafting refreshing wines in a European style. Merryvale Merryvale Vineyards Merryvale Vineyards has a long history dating back to 1933 when it was established in St. Helena, Napa, under the name of Sunnyhill Winery, and a handful of wine legends made wine there. Its modern history began in 1983 when a small group of partners purchased the property, renaming it Merryvale. In 1991, Swiss-born Jack Schlatter joined that partnership, bringing his son, René, on board a few years later. The Schlatter family eventually became the sole owners of Merryvale, and put an intense focus on elegance-driven wines that possessed an overall European finesse. Jeff Crawford Merryvale Vineyards As one would expect, Jeff Crawford ended up at such a leading Napa producer after attending one of the best universities for winemaking, U.C. Davis. However, what was unexpected was that he pursued a degree in economics, as wine had become such a wonderful passion in his life that he didn't want to lose that passion by turning it into a career. But going to Davis allowed him to take a few viticulture and winemaking classes. As time went on, he started spending more time thinking about winemaking than he did economics. One day, he noticed an announcement for a job fair for viticulture and winemaking, and since they weren't checking one's degree at the door, he walked in and started talking to a bunch of different producers, telling them his story. He ended up getting hired by Merryvale for their sister winery, Starmont, which makes varietal wines from the cooler Napa sub-region of Carneros at an affordable price. First, he worked in their lab, making several small-batch fermentations and finding all the subtle adjustments that ideally conveyed the character of that particular grape from that area. Jeff has always been a detail-oriented person, which helped him in his degree in economics, but it gave him an incredible talent for zeroing in to the most minute qualities and having the passion to never stop trying to bring a precision, for example, such as learning to blend different plots by truly knowing the plots in a given vintage. Sheep in Merryvale's vineyard Merryvale Vineyards Jeff was quickly promoted to cellar master of Starmont, and then, through time, he became the assistant winemaker and, finally, the winemaker. Early last year, he was promoted to the head winemaker position at Merryvale, as well as Starmont. In total, he has been working for Merryvale for 18 years, which is highly uncommon nowadays as the California wine industry typically experiences a lot of movement. But Jeff couldn't be happier working for the Schlatter family as they are just as detail-oriented, and Jeff also shares their mission to express the most elegant aspects of Napa and Sonoma wines. Previously, Merryvale made their ultra-premium Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines from their Carneros vineyards, but they are now ready, with Jeff at the helm, to move closer to creating the epitome of elegance with these wines by relocating the production to the much cooler Sonoma Coast. They have released the inaugural vintage of their Sonoma Coast wines, 2022, and Burgundian techniques are employed in the winery, including the use of native yeasts for both wines and sur lie aging for ten months for the Chardonnay, as well as hand punch-downs for the Pinot Noir. A Resume Only Says So Much Schlatter Family Merryvale Vineyards Every employer wants to find ideal employees, especially if they are eyeing a person who could fill one of the most critical roles in the future. Although there are obvious markers on one's resume to look for, that doesn't necessarily mean it will be a good long-term fit. The Schlatter family has, in the past, walked an unconventional path, as when they took over Merryvale in the early '90s Napa was still young and the consensus among many other producers was to make big, bold wines. But Schlatter believed in Napa's elegant beauty and stayed true to their values, and they were willing to invest more time and resources into seeking and preserving those graceful qualities. Profile Estate Vineyard Merryvale Vineyards Perhaps they saw that passion in Jeff, not only a passion for drinking wine, but also for going beyond what is expected to achieve finding an ideal balance. This balance should have plenty of concentration yet harmony and nuanced complexity and texture, bringing an overall refined quality to the wines. Perhaps they saw someone who loved the details so much that he would be meticulous at every step of the way and thrived from such conscientious work that it filled him with enthusiasm. As Jeff explained perfectly, "There is a reason I have been here so long," as he beamed with a genuine smile that showed a man who was right where he wanted to be. It is interesting to think back to Jeff's early life, the beginning of his journey into the world, and how afraid he was to lose his passion for wine if he made it his career. While he noted that U.C. Davis has a great economics program, there are many other universities he could have attended, and he chose the one with the prestigious winemaking program as well. But he could have never guessed that his own tendency to want to delve into every facet would significantly increase his love for wine as a winemaker rather than destroy it. Sometimes, looking beyond the resume and getting to know the person can be extremely beneficial to a business, especially one that is near and dear to family owners, such as the Schlatters. And sometimes, it is the right step to take that leap when one is young so there are no regrets down the line. What destroyed others' love for wine once they became a winemaker might be the very things that intensify that love for others. Merryvale, Sonoma Coast, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir Cathrine Todd 2022 Merryvale, Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, California: A multifaceted Chardonnay with wet river stones and lemon curd with a hint of spice that has lots of finesse on the palate with pristine nectarine fruit and lots of vitality with marked acidity that has a long, expressive mineral finish. 2022 Merryvale, Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, California: A strong sense of place from this Pinot Noir with broken earth and dry bark mingled with a juicy core of wild blackberries that is framed by fine tannins and finishes with delightful notes of grated nutmeg and sandalwood along the long length of flavor. Merryvale, Sauvignon Blanc Cathrine Todd 2023 Merryvale, Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley, California: Blended from different Napa Valley sub-regions that are harvested at different times to give a lot of layers and an overall harmonious quality to this Sauvignon Blanc, such as mouthwatering acidity with lots of fleshy fruit of peach cobbler flavors and honeycomb with a floral lift and exotic note of lychee syrup that brings another dimension. Merryvale, Cabernet Sauvignon Cathrine Todd 2018 Merryvale, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec. Sourced from different sub-regions within Napa Valley to achieve a seamless balance, a truly class act with this meticulous, expressive Cab with blackcurrant fruit infused with tobacco and violets that becomes expansive on the palate with manicured tannins. 2018 Merryvale, Cabernet Sauvignon, St. Helena, Napa Valley, California: Sourced from Merryvale's renowned hillside Profile Estate Vineyard, located at 800 feet in elevation, which solely sources their flagship wine 'Profile.' The grapes from this prestigious plot that make wine for long-term aging go into their top wine 'Profile' while the grapes that are more accessible in their youth will go into this St. Helena Napa Cab. Intriguing aromas of smoldering earth, cassis and graphite with a muscular, broad-shouldered structure balanced by mouthfilling fleshy fruit layered with olive leaves and slate with a prolonged length of flavor on the finish. Starmont wines are single-varietal wines made in a fresh, classic style from cool climate regions in the North and Central Coast regions of California. Starmont, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay Cathrine Todd 2023 Starmont, Sauvignon Blanc: Even though this wine retails around only $20, it is impressive and shows Jeff's attention to detail when blending as it has the brightness and zesty lift, the ideal amount of fruit and a touch of structure, giving it drive with lemon confit, apricot skin and kaffir lime leaf flavors, and it is simply just really delicious. 2022 Starmont Chardonnay: Priced similarly to the Sauvignon Blanc - another impressive bottling for the price point as it has a touch of complexity with chalky minerality, almonds and mandarin oil aromas merging with a hint of spice and lemon confit.

NFL legend Steve Young drives a 2011 Toyota with 132,000 miles because of his dad — here's what you can learn
Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. Legendary 49ers quarterback Steve Young earned nearly $49 million playing football, according to Spotrac, but you'd never guess it from the beaten-up 2011 Toyota Sienna he drives. In a recent interview with journalist Graham Bensinger, the two-time NFL MVP admitted he could easily afford a replacement for the car, which has racked up 132,000 miles. However, he's reluctant to let it go because of advice from his father, who always told him to 'get the most out of it.' And he's not the only Young family member who's emotionally attached to the vehicle. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 4 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) You don't have to be a millionaire to gain access to this $1B private real estate fund. In fact, you can get started with as little as $10 — here's how 'This is a car that the kids all grew up in,' Young told Bensinger. 'My youngest Laila — that seat over there with the camera is the seat that she won't give up. That's her seat for life … she's like, 'No, I love this car [and] how it smells.'' Surprisingly, multimillionaires driving modest cars isn't as unusual as some might think. Contrary to the stereotype, many wealthy people aren't driving around in flashy Ferraris and bright orange Lamborghinis. The top car brands for households earning over $250,000 were Toyota, Ford and Honda, according to a 2022 study by Experian Automotive. Even billionaires opt for relatively inconspicuous cars. Warren Buffett reportedly drives a Cadillac XTS — no Bugatti for the Oracle of Omaha. While most affluent people who can splurge on luxury vehicles simply choose not to, many ordinary consumers are already stretching their budgets to the limit. A recent survey by CDK Global found that 57% of car buyers said they hit the top end of their budget, while 7% exceeded it. The strain on consumers is also reflected in auto loan data. As of mid-2024, one in 24 drivers with a car loan was paying more than $1,000 in monthly payments per vehicle, according to Experian — a ratio that has nearly quadrupled since 2020. For many, the family car is becoming a significant financial burden. Here's how you can avoid the growing auto loan crisis.

For most consumers, cutting transportation costs is one of the most effective ways to improve their finances. After all, transportation is the second-largest annual expense for the average household, according to a 2022 report by the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics. One way to reduce this expense is by purchasing a car that's within — or even below — your means. To figure out whether a vehicle fits your budget, consider the 20/4/10 rule. Put at least 20% down Choose a loan term of no more than four years Keep all car-related expenses below 10% of your gross income If you find yourself shelling out a significant portion of your salary in car payments alone after running the numbers, you could try to refinance your car loan at a lower interest rate. By setting up firm financial guardrails, you can avoid the auto loan debt trap many consumers drive into. LendingTree is an online marketplace that allows you to compare auto refinance rates from leading lenders near you for free. Once you answer a few questions about yourself and the vehicle you want to refinance, LendingTree will connect you with three to five lenders from their network of over 300. From there, you can read reviews and compare the loan terms at your discretion — all without impacting your credit score. What's more, you may be eligible for refinanced loans as low as 5.03% APR through LendingTree's network. You should also consider the hidden costs of car ownership. It's not just the monthly car payments you should budget for — you'll be shelling out for gas, maintenance and insurance. Out of these three factors, insurance is the one you likely have the most control over. It can also be a big cost. The average American spends $2,692 per year for full coverage auto insurance, according to a study conducted by Bankrate. And, if U.S. tariff policy holds, insurance premiums are likely to rise. Tariffs on imported car parts and rising climate-related repair costs are expected to drive car insurance premiums to rise 60% faster in 2025 compared to last year, according to a study from Insurify. But there are ways to save. LendingTree found that 92% of Americans saved money when they switched insurance providers.
