My day in the bay

Market Street

This is exactly where you end up. The steps down to BART are right behind those newspaper stands. Umbrellas, shoe shiners, laptops, ipods, trolley cars, hot dogs, birds, street musicians, the occasional whiff of pot & homeless people consume the spaces between the sky scraping monsters of the place known as the financial district of San Francisco, California.

The weather was a sunny 70 something degrees. Perfect. Closer to home, my family suffered through 100 degree temps.

I arrived with 1.5 hours to spare. I decided to set off in search of my favorite place to shop...The Apple Store.
Walking in that sea of faces, you have to maintain a good pace. You have to cross the street with everybody else...even when the light is against you. It's a good idea to wear headphones and comfortable shoes.

I didn't quite know where the store was, but I had a feeling...as if it were magnetically luring me on toward it. After some help from Michael, which ended up taking me way out of my way...I found it. A large white apple shined like a becon, proudly welcoming all who appreciate the workings of a fine computer. Its black box figure stuck out slightly onto the walk, separating itself from all neighboring structures.

I bought a new set of headphones. They sit inside my ears (like most these days) , but wrap around my neck with the wire hanging down my back. They are made by Nike and are suppose to be great for running. All of the headphones are packaged, which makes it impossible to try them out prior to purchase.
I immediately asked for scissors and tore into the plastic packaging.
I am overall...small. My ears, my neck...
These headphones might not work for me. However, they have GREAT sound. Hopefully I'll get to run with them this weekend in Arnold.

Arnold?
Yeah, Arnold.
That is the name of the town we are leaving for in about 3 hours from now and I haven't packed yet!
We have a vacation cabin there.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Real quick...I'll leave you with a few things I saw yesterday...

Three people getting arrested with a mile radius.
A license plate that read "Mr. Luv".
A ghost fleet of retired military ships.
A lady with white paint all over her...including her hair.
A large conference room filled with nervous middle aged adults.
A black couple arguing and a security guard trying to make them stop.
Thousands of bats leaving their home under the Yolo cosway to eat mosquitos. GO BATS!
On my way home, a single firework shot up in the sky near Roseville.
