Trip to the ballpark

Today Serenity and I went to the Giants game in San Francisco along with Kathy and her son Danny. It was not nice and cool the way it normally is, instead it was 99 degrees at China Basin today!

China Basin Landing, San Francisco, CA — Current Conditions

Daily Summary for May 15, 2008




Current: High: Low: Average:
Temperature: 83.8 °F / 28.8 °C 99.9 °F / 37.7 °C 64.3 °F / 17.9 °C 81.3 °F / 27.4 °C


We had a good time anyway, lucky for us we were in the Club Level that has an enclosed and air conditioned concession area behind it, we were in our seats for about an hour, then at the play area for the kids for about an hour then we fled inside for the duration. Kathy gave me a ride home because I discovered that BART was FUBART once again with 45 minute to and hour delays all over the system.

Here is Serenity with the giant spider that lurks along the Embarcadero

Serenity and Danny before it got too hot to stay in our seats.

Ice cream please!


As usual you can go to my Flickr site and see a whole extra slew of photos. This set is here.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX.

The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,...
