Ford's new sleeper bikes. Really funny to see one of these in San Francisco.  Sushi in Walgreens. We're not in Fort Wayne anymore.  The 12-year-old girl inside me is laughing and snorting with glee. Anne Perry rolled her eyes at me when she was sitting at lunch. I tried to talk to her, but it was very loud in the room and I couldn't hear her. However, I could hear the guy next to me just fine. #atleastigottotalktoafamousmurdererandlivedtotellaboutit #excuseme? #what? #begyourpardon? #myhearingisfine #mightiofferyouaspotofteaasconeandabullhorn?

There's a guy on the BART Dublin/Pleasanton Line giving another guy a tattoo with a Sharpie. Thanks Nicholas and Jay for letting me snap pics! #sanfranciscomoments

I know you all have been suffering from a so-called "drought", but why does it have to rain nearly nonstop during one of my rare trips here???? #fakedrought #itneverrainsinsoutherncalifornia #butthatdoesn'tmeantherestofthestateisexempt #iforgiveyoubayarea #thistripwillchangemylife

For some reason, the last one I uploaded, I couldn't see it in Chrome. I can't figure out what's going on. I just dragged the video from my desktop. I didn't format it on YouTube or anything, but maybe I should. Hopefully, you all will be able to see it. I just checked. You can see it in Explorer. Don't know what's going on in Chrome, but I guess I'll have to convert the videos on YouTube from now on.

This is a model of an amusement park made out of toothpicks. This is from Musee Mechanique in San Francisco. Check out the swing ride! If they went that fast in real life, talk about G forces! Cedar Point has one. It's called the Wave Swinger .

Because too much is never enough, I took three cameras with me on my trip in November. All three had video capabilities. But I have to say the camera I used the most was the one on my Samsung Galaxy III smartphone. I also got to try my Canon EOS T5 Rebel. I can't figure out why cameras are so macho. Even the box design is full of testosterone. Ladies and gentlemen, EXTREME PHOTOGRAPHY!!! Anyway, I'm going to label these photos. CP stands for cameraphone, T5 stands for my majorly macho photographic investment. I like the ease of using my cameraphone, but after realizing I've wanted a decent DSLR for the past ten years, I caved. There are worse addictions. For ease of use, I put the Rebel T5 on lazy program mode and shot away. This was helpful when I was on moving vehicles getting shots of the city. CP GNARLY DUDE!!!!!!!
