Some Pictures of Vegas, San Diego etc.

Here are some pictures I've had sitting in my iPhoto library, if you want them.

A little patch of grass for seeing-eye dogs to use for peeing at the San Diego airport.

Getting ready to fly. My wife did not expect them to say things like "If oxygen should be needed, a mask will drop down. Please insert 25 cents for the first three minutes" and was totally surprised. I should have warned her about Southwest first.

We had fun at Vegas. Just stayed at Ceaser's Palace since it's fun to be central to the Strip when in the city. Plus we'd never stayed there.

About the funnest thing to do is...nothing. We spent many hours lolling (not LOLing) by the poolsite.

The passing of George Carlin let me know that it was time to get out to see all the commedians that I respected before too much time passed, so I made sure to catch Penn & Teller this time around. It was a fabulous show, and I recommend everyone hit it. They've come a long way since season 5 of Babylon 5, haven't they?

As I am wont to do once a year or so, I took my Miata out to the desert for some power driving.

I have one of the most recognizable cars in San Diego, I'm pretty sure. If you ever see me, say hi, although it will most likely be my mother driving since I'm not in country most of the time.

The open road and a Studio Ghibli watch.

One of the key destinations out here is Dudley's Bakery, a really good bakery. Also, the city of Julian, of course, which has great apple pies when it isn't under threat of burning down every other year.

Last night I even found time to go see the Batman movie. It was good!
