This, as you can see, is the Liberty Ship Jeremiah O'Brien. It is the only operating Liberty ship left today. Considering the average construction times for these guys was a rediculous 30 days its pretty sad this is the last one. Its based in San Francisco. You can tour it daily and it makes half a dozen or so cruises each year. Including one on the forth of July, and one during the yearly air show.

This was actually one of the highlights of our trip. It was like stepping to a part of history. I hope to be participate on one of its cruises sometime in the future

In San Francisco of course. This picture was actually taken on the last day of our trip. I like the way the light fog gives the bridge an almost ghostly look.

Sadly enough we where in Frisco for 6 days an did not get a chance to go over the Golden Gate. We had planned to ride bikes across but it didn't work out. About 2 miles down the road the wind kicked up something fierce. So we stopped took a few pictures (including this one) and went back. We did sail under the bridge on a harbor cruise for what its worth. Next time we will make the treck across.

Xbox Live spam

Is no messaging medium sacred? I remember a time when e-mail was young. I was wondrous, simple, and fun. Then a shadow came upon e-mail. This shadow, it was known as, advertising. But it was not any kind of advertising, advertisement for things you never new, or wanted to know existed. Loose weight fast, get rich in 3 months, make _____ bigger...Click to read more.


Soon we all came to see e-mail as a sort of Pandora's Box. We had been curious we all used it, evil came forth. Even with the evil there was good. Instantaneous communication. No stamps. Online shopping. But just as we started to except e-mail with all its woes, new digital communication experiences would emerge.

Soon, the internet became common place in all our houses, and cell phones where in all our pockets. As we should have expected the evils of advertising would follow. Text messages "Loose weight fast". Instant messages "Seee hot t girlz fre". Even in the most sacred of places the comments of our blogs "Make 300,000 in 2 months".

Now it has mad a more disturbing jump. It is now on Xbox Live. I pure world, corrupted with nothing more than gratuitous fictional sex, violence, language, and product placement has been violated by span. As i find my self solicited to "visit my website, it will be worth it"

Xion does not exist.

All we have left. Get glass for the front and rear winshield. Finish bleading the breaks. Install the interior. Finish calibrating the choke.
