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

Ice cream please!


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

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.
