This is how it looks like after 20:00 (see previous post) on a nice Indian Summer night.
Worth staying up late for, huh?

Since when did 20:00 become "late" for a meal??
The last time I experienced this was when I was 10 years old OR...whenever I'm home in San Francisco.
I mean, there's clues abounds. The dearth of good late night (or horrible) late night places to eat. When even dives like the Grubstake have queues on the deck, down the stairs and onto the Pine street sidewalk, replete with bums and gusty westerly winds. Its 4-star rating on Yelp BTW is for being open late more than anything else.
I guess it's this. Either its "ignorance is bliss" or I'm not dead old enough to be here in ess eff. For the former, since I've been to a lot of Asia, LA and New York, I've gotten used to living life and being sociable. If I never left San Francisco, I may have thought that running home before the sun went down and not staying out past 20:00 was normal too. For the latter, it seems like people can be full of life when they're elsewhere. Once they're in SF however, they mutate into TV watching homebodies with no souls. Bah!
This blows! Time to get back to Asia! Anyone hiring out there?
This year, I was invited to an event at SFO sponsored by United Airlines where the special guests were the Blue Angels. They were based nearby and those of use who attended were able to see the planes up (pretty) close.
This is a lot closer than when you usually see them!
The flagship of Fat Albert Airlines...
Just another day doing the job...
Usually this is as close as most people get!
The best thing about recent Fleet Weeks is that the gorgeous weather that we are supposed to have year round actually happens. It was really nice out! Besides the Blue Angels, the UA Open House also had a bunch of classic cars, vendors, snacks and some UA hardware open to view.
