AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>> THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

PROTESTS AGAINST THAT TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ARE TAKING PLACE.

JEN WANTS REPORTER ANDREW BOWEN IS LIVE.

>> Reporter: THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE HERE BUT THEY'RE CHANTING SLOGANS.

THERE HAS BEEN MUSIC PLAYING.

IN A SHORT WHILE, THERE WILL BE SPEAKERS.

THIS IS ONE OF SEVERAL PROTESTS THAT IS HAPPENING IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY TODAY.

THEY ARE UNITED UNDER THE SLOGAN, GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON.

>> HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE LINED THE SIDEWALK OF FLETCHER PARKWAY IN EL CAJON, HOLDING AMERICAN FLAGS AND SIGNS MENTIONING ISSUES LIKE DEPORTATION, CLIMATE CHANGE, FREE SPEECH, AND CUTS TO FEDERAL FUNDING FOR PUBLIC MEDIA.

LISA GATZ IS A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT WHO LIVES IN SPRING VALLEY.

SHE SAID IT WAS HER FIRST TIME EVER PARTICIPATING IN A PROTEST.

>> I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE THERE'S ENOUGH PEOPLE, AND SO I DIDN'T NEED TO GO, BUT NOW WE NEED MORE PEOPLE TO GET OUT AND LET THE PEOPLE KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT OKAY.

>> THE TROUBLE IS COINED BY JOHN LEWIS, WHO DIED FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY.

IT REFERS TO THAT NONVIOLENT RESISTANCE TO AUTHORITY THAT HE SAID WAS NECESSARY TO FIGHT INJUSTICE, PROTECT DEMOCRACY, AND ENSURE THE DIGNITY OF ALL PEOPLE.

>> IT'S OUR TIME.

MY PARENTS TIME WAS DURING THE DEPRESSION AND WORLD WAR II.

OUR TIME IS NOW.

TO STAND UP FOR DEMOCRACY.

STAND UP FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES.

>> MORE THAN 1600 PROTESTS WERE PLANNED ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO HONOR JOHN LEWIS'S LEGACY.

-- SAID IT IS ENERGIZING TO SEE PEOPLE TURNOUT IN THE RURAL PARTS OF EAST COUNTY WHERE SHE SEES AN OPPORTUNITY TO UNSEAT DARRELL ISSA IN THE NEXT YEAR.

>> WE ARE DOING ALL KINDS OF GRASSROOTS ORGANIZING BEHIND THE SCENES IN ORDER TO KEEP PEOPLE MOVING FORWARD.

AND WE ARE STARTING TO PULL AND THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN SITTING ON THE SIDELINES SAYING, OH, THAT'S NOT GOING TO DO ANY GOOD.

WELL, COME BE WITH US.

YOU KNOW.

JUST BE WITH US.

AND YOU'LL SEE, IT MAKES A LOT OF DIFFERENCE.

>> Reporter: WELL, MAYA, IT IS A VERY MIXED CROWD HERE.

THEY ARE ENERGIZED.

AND MIXED IN TERMS OF AGE.

I SPOKE TO THE ORGANIZER OF THIS PROTEST HERE AT WATERFRONT PARK IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO.

HE TOLD ME, HE IS FED UP WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

HE CALLED IT AN OLIGARCHY.

SPEAKING OF THAT, THE FACT THAT THIS IS A MIXED CROWD -- HE -- GET THIS -- IS ONLY 17 YEARS OLD.

PUTTING LIVE FROM WATERFRONT PARK, ANDREW BOWEN, KPBS NEWS.

>> THERE IS BEAUTIFUL WEATHER HERE AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

I'M ALSO CHECKING THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN.

IT'S MAINLY GOING TO BE TO THE EAST ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS, BUT SOME OF THAT RAIN COULD TRY TO MAKE ITS WAY TO THE COASTLINE.

I'LL UPDATE THAT FORECAST HOT COMING UP.

>>> DRIVERS MAY HAVE NOTICED SMOKE NEAR POMERADO ROAD.

>> SMOKE VILLAS OUT OF THE BUILDING AS RESEARCHERS WATCH FROM BELOW.

LAST MONTH, THEY TESTED HOW THIS BUILDING REACTED DURING A SIMULATED EARTHQUAKE.

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING PROFESSOR TYRA HUTCHINSON SAID THAT FIRE SPENDS MORE EASILY AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE DAMAGES DRYWALL.

>> THAT IS A PATH FOR TEMPERATURES TO PASS INTO THE CAVITY AND OTHER SPACES.

IF YOU ARE IN THE OTHER SPACE, YOUR LIKELIHOOD OF YOUR PRODUCTION IS COMPROMISED.

>> TODAY, THEY ARE MEASURING SMOKE, HEAT, AND FIRE IN THE BUILDING'S LENGTH STORY.

>> WE HAVE DRONES TRYING TO CAPTURE SURFACE TEMPERATURE.

WIND INFORMATION.

PARTICULATE INFORMATION.

WE HAVE THERMAL CAMERAS AND RGB CAMERAS ON TOP OF THOSE DRONES, TRYING TO GET A WHOLE PICTURE OF WHAT THE ENVIRONMENT LOOKS LIKE DURING AND AFTER THESE FIRE TESTS.

>> THE BUILDING IS MADE OF STEEL.

IT IS A STRONG, LIGHTWEIGHT RECYCLED MATERIAL.

CURRENTLY, U.S. BUILDING CODE LIMITS BUILDINGS MADE OF COLD- FORMED STEEL.

FIREFIGHTERS WITH CAL FIRE WERE STANDING BY DURING THE TEST.

-- SAID IT CAN MAKE IT RISKY FOR FIREFIGHTERS TO ENTER BUILDINGS.

>> IT IS THAT RISK, VERSUS THE DATA, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, WHEN WE CAN DO TO HELP THE SITUATION WITHOUT HURTING OR INJURING OUR FIREFIGHTERS.

UC SAN DIEGO SAYS THE TESTS COULD DETERMINE IF THAT SIX FOOT HEIGHT LIMIT COULD INCREASE MAKING CONSTRUCTION FASTER AND MORE THE LESS EXPENSIVE.

RESEARCHERS AND TO CONDUCT ANOTHER FIRE TEST ON THE SIXTH STORY IN THE COMING WEEKS.

KATIE ANASTAS, KPBS NEWS.

>>> MARYBELLE GONZALEZ BREAKS DOWN THIS DECISION AND WHO IT COULD IMPACT.

STRIKE FEAR AND FOLLOWED AFTER THE SUPREME COURT RULED ON MONDAY THAT CUTS CAN CONTINUE AT THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.

HUNDREDS MAY LOSE THEIR JOBS IN TWO WEEKS.

PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS THE DECISION IS GOOD FOR SCHOOLS AND FAMILIES.

>> WE WANT TO BRING EDUCATION BACK TO THE STATES.

TAKE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OUT OF IT.

>> SUPPORTERS OF THIS MOVE SAY STATES AND PARENTS SHOULD BE IN CHARGE OF EDUCATION OVERSIGHT.

LINDA McMAHON SAID THE CUTS WILL PROMOTE EFFICIENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.

OPPONENTS ARGUE THIS ACTION WILL ONLY HARM STUDENTS.

AND THEIR ABILITY TO LEARN.

>> PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING FROM WORKING CLASS FAMILIES WANT A DIFFERENT WAY OF LIFE.

THEY WANT TO IMPROVE THEIR LIFE CHOICES THROUGH EDUCATION.

THIS ADMINISTRATION IS MAKING IT HARDER.

>> CURRENTLY, THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION HELPS FUND K-12 SCHOOLS, ALLOWING ABOUT 18.12 BILLION STOLLER -- DOLLARS PER YOUR BID INCLUDES THE TITLE I PROGRAM, MEANT TO HELP EDUCATE CHILDREN FROM LOW INCOME FAMILIES, AND THE IDEA PROGRAM WHICH PROVIDES SCHOOLS WITH MONEY TO HELP MEET THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES.

IT MANAGES STUDENT LOANS AND INVESTIGATES STUDENT COMPLAINTS AND PROVIDES RESEARCH AND DATA ON HOW STUDENTS ARE PERFORMING.

THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION HOWEVER DOES NOT DETERMINE WHAT STUDENTS LEARN.

THAT IS LEFT TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

NOR DOES IT CERTIFY TEACHERS OR ESTABLISH GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS.

>> I MARYBELLE GONZALEZ, REPORTING.

>> THE ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION SAYS THEY DON'T QUALIFY FOR MEDICARE RIGHT AWAY.

KPBS REPORTER HEIDI DiMARCO SAYS THAT SETS UP --.

YOU HAVE ALL YOUR STUFF SET UP.

YOU HAVE THIS AND THAT AND THAT.

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU LOOK UP, AND YOU'RE LIKE, I FORGOT MY GOGGLES, AND YOU FREAK OUT.

>> THAT FEELING, EVERY SINGLE DAY TODAY.

EVERY DAY.

>> MICHELLE HUGHES IS 59 YEARS OLD, AND LIVES IN SANTEE.

SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH EARLY ONSET ALZHEIMER'S.

>> HERE I AM, NOW, IN THE HARDEST RACE I'VE EVER BEEN IN.

>> SHE SPENT MONTHS NOTICING SOMETHING WAS OFF UNTIL ONE DAY AT WORK -- >> IT WAS LIKE I NEVER LEARNED THE SKILL I HAD FOR 28 YEARS.

FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I WAS STRUGGLING TO FIGURE IT OUT.

>> SHE EVENTUALLY LOST HER JOB AS A CARDIOLOGY CLINICAL SPECIALIST AND WITH IT, HER HEALTH INSURANCE.

>> YOU HAVE TO BALANCE, OKAY.

HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO LIVE?

HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAVE?

THOSE ARE REALITIES.

>> SHE WAS DIAGNOSED IN CHULA VISTA, WHERE SHE NOW RECEIVES INFUSIONS EVERY TWO WEEKS.

>> WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD.

>> IT IS THE FIRST FDA APPROVED DRUG THAT SLOWS THE PROGRESSION OF EARLY-STAGE ALZHEIMER'S.

SHE GETS IT THROUGH MEDI-CAL, CALIFORNIA'S MEDICAID PROGRAM, BUT APPROVAL WASN'T EASING DOSE EASY.

>> I HAD TO GO TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND WRITE A BIG THING ABOUT WHAT MY LIFE IS AND HOW IT HAPPENED.

>> MANY DON'T QUALIFY BECAUSE PEOPLE UNDER 65 WITH A DISABILITY LIKE ALZHEIMER'S MUST WAIT FIVE MONTHS TO GET SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY INSURANCE.

THEN, ANOTHER 24 MONTHS BEFORE MEDICARE KICKS IN.

>> BUT WE KNOW THERE ARE TWO EXCEPTIONS TO THAT RULE.

END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE, AND ALS.

>> JEN TAYLOR ADVOCACY GROUP, VOICES OF ALZHEIMER'S.

HE SAYS NEARLY 100 PATIENTS SIGNED A LETTER TO CONGRESS THIS YEAR ASKING LAWMAKERS TO ADD EARLY ONSET ALZHEIMER'S TO THAT LIST.

>> SO THEY CAN BEGIN TREATMENT AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE AND AS EFFECTIVELY AS POSSIBLE.

>> HE SAYS THERE'S NO CONGRESSIONAL OPPOSITION SO FAR, BUT IT WILL COME DOWN TO COST.

>> THREE YEARS WORTH OF THERAPY.

ONE YEAR OF STABILITY.

THAT IS ONE YEAR I CAN STAY AT HOME.

THAT IS ONE YEAR I GET TO KEEP DRIVING.

>> DR. ERIC PERKINS IS A NEUROLOGIST AT SHARP HEALTH.

HE SAID EARLY TREATMENT IS CRITICAL FOR THIS AGE GROUP.

>> THERE WOULD BE AN INCREASED SENSE OF URGENCY FOR EARLY ONSET BECAUSE IT DOES PROTEST FASTER IN YOUNGER PEOPLE.

>> THE TREATMENT COSTS MORE THAN $26,000 PER YOUR BID THE INSTITUTE FOR CLINICAL AND ECONOMIC REVIEW EVALUATED --'S VALUE AND FOUND IT IS TOO -- PRICED TOO HIGH FOR WHAT IT DELIVERS.

>> IT KEEPS YOU OUT OF THE HOSPITAL OR IT KEEPS YOU OUT OF A LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY, THEIR MONETARY SAVINGS THERE, BUT THERE ARE STILL COSTS IN PAYING FOR THE THERAPY.

THERE ARE COSTS TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT BLEEDING INTO YOUR BRAIN.

YOU ARE NOT GETTING SWELLING IN YOUR BRAIN.

>> HE SAYS A FAIR PRICE WOULD BE BETWEEN 9020 $1500 PER YEAR.

AT THAT PRICE -- >> THIS ISN'T AN UNREASONABLE THING FOR INSURERS TO COVER.

IT'S A DRUG THAT WORKS.

IT STOP -- SLOWS THE DECLINE IN ALL TIMERS DISEASE.

YOU WOULDN'T NECESSARILY WANT TO GO THROUGH YOUR LIFE SAVINGS TO MILDLY TO MODESTLY SELL YOUR DECLINE.

>> MEDICARE ESTIMATES IT WILL SPEND $3.5 BILLION ON LEQEMBI THIS YEAR.

AND A 2022 CHICAGO UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO STUDY FOUND THAT IT COULD SAVE IN LONG-TERM CARE COSTS.

MICHELLE STILL RIDES HER BIKE AND RUNS THE RIGHT SIX MILES EVERY OTHER DAY.

AND HAS A SUPPLEMENT STACK THAT WOULD IMPRESS ANY BODYBUILDER.

SHE MANAGES HER BRAIN WITH A GIANT CALENDAR PINNED TO HER WHILE AND STICKY NOTES SCATTERED THROUGHOUT WITH REMINDERS.

>> WHEN SOMETHING IS DONE, I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT I DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK AND DO IT AGAIN.

>> SHE SAYS SHE FEELS BLESSED SHE IS ABLE TO ACCESS THE MEDICATION THAT GIVES HER HOPE, WHILE MANY OTHERS ARE WAITING.

>> I AM NOT A QUITTER.

YOU KNOW, I'VE DONE ALL THOSE IRONMAN RACES.

NEVER ONCE DID I GIVE UP.

I'M NOT PUSHING MY BODY, BUT I AM PUSHING MY MIND TO LIVE IN THIS WORLD.

WITH ALZHEIMER'S.

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN.

IF I GET LOST.

>> STILL CUT SHE IS DETERMINED TO STAY IN THE RACE, FOR HERSELF, AND FOR THOSE BEHIND HER.

HEIDI DE MARCO, KPBS NEWS .

>>> IT HAS LED TO EYE-POPPING PRICE INCREASES.

AS PART OF OUR PUBLIC MATTERS PARTNERSHIP, WILL HANSBERRY SAYS TWO CITIES ARE ESPECIALLY STARTLING TO BUILD.

>> CORONADO AND IMPERIAL BEACH ARE AS OPPOSITE AS TWO CALPURNIA BEACH TOWN CAN BE.

ONE IS WEALTHY AND REPUBLICAN LEANING.

THEY DO SHARE ONE KEY FACT.

NEITHER PERMITTED A SINGLE UNIT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING BETWEEN 2018 AND THE END OF 2024.

CITIES THAT WANT TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEED TWO THINGS.

THE MONEY AND THE WILL.

IMPERIAL BEACH HAS MORE WILL BUT LESS MONEY.

CORONADO, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS MONEY, BUT NOT MUCH WILL, ACCORDING TO HOUSING ADVOCATES.

THE CITY MANAGER TOLD ME THAT SOME AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS HAVE BEEN APPROVED IN RECENT YEARS, BUT THEY HAVEN'T MADE IT TO THE PERMITTING STAGE.

RICHARD BAILEY, FORMER CORONADO MAYOR SAYS THAT CITY IS EXPENSIVE, AND SO IT'S NOT AN IDEAL PLACE TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT PROGRESSIVE ADVOCATES DON'T LIKE THAT THEORY.

IF ALL AFFORDABLE HOUSING GETS BUILT IN POOR PARTS OF TOWN, IT CREATES A DISTURBING CYCLE.

POOR PEOPLE GET PACKED INTO PLACES WITH LESS GOOD PARKS, SCHOOLS, AND JOBS.

RICH COMMUNITIES GET RICHER, AND POOR COMMUNITIES, FOR HER.

WILL HUNTSBERRY, VOICE OF SAN DIEGO.

STRUCK HEALTH EXPERTS SAY THAT IMMUNIZATIONS ARE A CRITICAL KEY TO KEEP KIDS HEALTHY AND SAFE FROM PREVENTABLE DISEASES.

WHY NOW IS THE TIME TO GET BACK TO SCHOOL IMMUNIZATIONS.

>> YES.

WE KNOW.

IT IS STILL SUMMER, BUT BEFORE YOU NOTE, SCHOOL WILL BE BACK IN SESSION.

HEALTH EXPERTS SAY NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE SURE YOUR STUDENTS HEALTH IS PROTECTED.

>> MAKE SURE THEY ARE UP-TO- DATE ON THEIR VACCINATIONS BEFORE HEADING INTO SCHOOL.

IT IS SOMETHING TO START THINKING ABOUT NOW, SO WE ARE NOT, AT THE LAST MINUTE, TRYING TO GET THIS ALL DONE PRETTY >> FAMILY PHYSICIAN GRETCHEN LaSALLE SAYS IT TAKES A COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR CHILDREN TO BUILD UP IMMUNITY AFTER IMMUNIZATIONS, DEVELOPING IT BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS, REDUCES THE RISK OF A CHILD CONTRACTING PREVENTABLE DISEASES DURING THE SCHOOL YOU'RE PRETTY >> OUR 4 TO 6 EUROS WHEN THEY ARE STARTING KINDERGARTEN OR FIRST GRADE, HAVE A VARIETY OF VACCINES THAT NEED TO BE CAUGHT UP ON SO THEY ARE PREPARED TO ENTER SCHOOL IN A HEALTHY WAY, AND NOT HAVE TO MISS SCHOOL DUE TO VACCINE PREVENTABLE ILLNESS.

>> BENEFITS VACCINES FOR DIPHTHERIA, TETANUS, CHICKENPOX, POLIO, WHOOPING COUGH, MEASLES, MUMPS, AND RUBELLA, AND AFTER SCHOOL STARTS IN THE FALL, LaSALLE SAYS THERE WILL BE SEASONABLE VACCINES TO CONSIDER, THOSE INCLUDING FLU AND THE UPDATED COVID-19 VACCINE.

DESPITE THE VERY LARGE MAJORITY OF PHYSICIANS AND SCIENTISTS STILL STAND FIRMLY BEHIND OUR TRADITIONAL VACCINES AND OUR TRADITIONAL VACCINES.

THE BEST WAY TO KEEP KIDS SAFE AND HEALTHY THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR.

>> FOR HEALTH MINUTE, I AM MANDY GAITHER.

>>> WENT HISTORY RICK CRAWFORD WAS IN CHARGE OF PUBLICATIONS, HE BROUGHT IT OUT FOR KEN KRAMER AND ALL OF US TO SEE.

>>> IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT, YOU COME UP HERE TO THE NINTH FLOOR OF THE DOWNTOWN CENTRAL LIBRARY TO THE HERBIE FAMILY RARE BOOKS ROOM.

THERE'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC DURING THE DAY.

WE LIKE TO SEE ALL THESE EXAMPLES OF FINE BOOKS.

DESPITE REALLY RARE AND WONDERFUL BOOKS FROM THE COLLECTION OF JULIUS WANGENHEIM.

>> WE HAVE BABYLONIAN CLAY TABLETS THAT ARE FOR THOUSAND YEARS OLD.

WE HAVE BOOKS FROM THE 1100S.

THE 1400S.

THE INFANCY OF PRINTING.

>> THESE ARE BOOKS THAT I DON'T THINK YOU COULD PUT A PRICE ON, JUST TO SHOW YOU ONE THING -- HERE IS A BOOK WITH A GILDED EDGE UNTIL YOU JUST SPREAD THE PAGES EVER SO SLIGHTLY ENDED REVEALS AN ORIGINAL TAINTING.

>> YOU CAN TURN IT OVER AND GET TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PAGE.

>> ANOTHER TOTALLY DIFFERENT PAINTING.

THIS ROOM IS SO FULL OF ART AND SCULPTURE AND TREASURED BOOKS, BUT WHAT WE HAVE COME TO SEE, AND IT IS HERE, IS THE SMALLEST PUBLISHED BOOK IN THE WORLD.

>> MANY PEOPLE COME IN LOOKING FOR IT.

THEY HEARD ABOUT THIS.

WE HAD TO THAT CORNER.

WE SHOW THEM WHERE IT IS PRETTY >> IN THE CORNER DISPLAY, THERE ARE MINIATURE BOOKS.

NOT MUCH BIGGER THAN YOUR FINGERTIP.

TINY LITTLE BOOKS.

EVERYTHING FROM KIDS STORIES THE GROWN-UP NOVELS.

HERE IS A BIBLE FROM THE YEAR 1780.

>> IT IS NOT A COMPLETE BIBLE.

IT IS A CONDENSATION OF A BIBLE.

>> THESE ARE SOME ON DISPLAY.

AN ARTIST NAMED JULIE TIM PUT TOGETHER A PICTURE BOOK OF CLIFF GOYANG'S IN NEW MEXICO.

DESPITE THE COVER IS MADE OUT OF CLAY FROM THAT AREA.

IT HAS AN ARROWHEAD EMBEDDED IN IT, AS WELL.

DESPITE ALL OF THESE ARE GIANTS COMPARED TO THE SMALLEST ONE HERE, THE SMALLEST PUBLISHED BOOK IN THE WORLD.

AND BY THE WAY, YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING, WHY DID THEY MAKE THESE TINY BOOKS?

>> MINIATURE BOOKS WERE QUITE USEFUL IN THE PAST.

IF YOU'RE A TRAVELER -- YOU WOULD LIKE A MINIATURE BOOK -- PEOPLE CARRIED IT ON A TRIP.

YOU CAN HAVE A BOOK OF VERSES.

THEY WERE QUITE POPULAR LONG AGO.

>> AND DELIGHTFULLY SMALL THEY ARE.

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SMALL, THERE IS ONE HERE -- A MORE RECENT ADDITION.

30 YEARS OLD.

THAT IS THE SMALLEST IN THE WORLD.

>> IT WAS CONSIDERED THE SMALLEST PUBLISHED BOOK.

YES.

I BELIEVE THAT STILL IS THE CASE.

2.9 MILLIMETERS.

IT LOOKS LIKE IDOT, BUT IT IS A BOOK.

IT REALLY IS PRETTY >> IT IS A 24 PAGE BOOK.

824 PAGE ABC BOOK.

IT IS QUITE UNIQUE.

>> OKAY.

WE DON'T HAVE A MICROSCOPE BUT UNDER A MAGNIFYING GLASS, IF WE ZOOM IN, YOU CAN JUST KIND OF SEE IT.

IT IS SITTING IN A HOLLOWED OUT SPACE.

SEE THE COVER AND THE PAGES?

IT IS REMARKABLE, AND AS TO HOW ON EARTH IT WAS DONE, WELL, A MICROSCOPE, INTRICATE DIGNITY, AND THE ABILITY TO THINK SMALL.

>> I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO DO THAT WITHOUT SOME SPECIAL EQUIPMENT.

>> YES.

YOU WOULD REALLY NEED YOUR GLASSES TO READ THE TINIEST PUBLISHED BOOK IN THE WORLD.

AT THE HERBIE FAMILY RARE BOOKS ROOM AT THE CENTRAL LIBRARY.

IT IS A COLLECTION OF BOOKS BIG AND SMALL GOING BACK CENTURIES, AND IT IS SOMETHING WE JUST HAD TO SEE WITH OUR OWN EYES ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

>> KEN KRAMER HAS STORIES EVERY WEEK ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

YOU CAN SEE THEM RIGHT HERE ON KPBS.

>>> I TALKED ABOUT RAIN CHANCES IN THE FORECAST.

WE WILL SEE SOME OF THAT RAIN, POSSIBLY EVEN A RUMBLE OF THUNDER OR TWO AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

LOW CLOUDS NEAR THE COAST WITH SOME SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST.

OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MID 60s.

HERE IS YOUR HEADING OUT THE DOOR FOR EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.

MOST OF THE RAIN CHANCES EVEN THE RUMBLE OF THUNDER WILL BE ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS, SO IF YOU LIVE ALONG THE COAST, DON'T BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME SPRINKLES, SOME LIGHT RAIN, OR EVEN HEAR RUMBLES OF THUNDER AS YOU HEAD OUT THE DOOR FOR FRIDAY MORNING.

WARMER CONDITIONS PERSISTING IN THE FORECAST.

HERE IS AN UPDATED LOOK AT THE EXTENDED FORECAST.

IF YOU LIKE SUNNY SKIES AND HIGHS IN THE 70s, YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE MY FORECAST AS WE HAD THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND.

BEST CHANCE OF RAIN WILL BE EARLY ON FRIDAY.

AFTER THAT, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WE ARE GOING TO SEE MUCH RAINFALL CHANCES HERE AS WE HAD THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND.

OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE MID 60s.

IN THE FORECAST IS GOING TO BE WARMER.

TEMPERATURES WILL PEAK DURING YOUR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL DIP INTO THE 50s.

AS WE HEAD INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.

HEADS UP FOR THAT.
