Kevin's Watch

They were going to see the blue angels. It happened to be the airshow time. I could have had some great shots of the blue angels but I refused on general principle since I think the amount of money our government spends on airshows is ridiculous. I could run my miata for a year on what one of those planes burns in a single airshow. I think it's a horrific waste. Sorry. I know I am unpatriotic but sheesh, how many boys died for that oil being frivolously burned in aerial display? Ugh.

Here are some pics for Binks....



This is the mouse I found in Igor's office garbage can this morning.



He was MUCH bigger than the first two. He could almost but not quite jump out of the can.



I took him up the street to the park and set him free.



There is a hole under the next tree indent to the left of where he was hanging out. That is where I sent his friends and he quickly found his way in there.

um...is that a gum tree?

Binks says to tell you he's ready for his snack, now.

Seabeejeebee, it's actually a redwood, a baby one. Binks, I regret to inform you but if I was to send that snack it would be dead, stinky and dessicated by the time it made it through customs. He was a feisty one though. He was like a crazy pogo stick mouse the whole walk to the park. He would barely hit the bottom of the skip before rebounding as high as he could go. Then when I tipped the skip over to give him his freedom he huddled in the bottom for a few minutes until I was forced to lift the skip bottom enough to slide him down a bit. Silly mouse. Then when he made his run for freedom I didn't get any usable pics until he got to the tree. He came out of the skip, ran back in, ran out and straight at me and under my knee. Crazy guy.

It's not my prettiest work but this is the view of the city from the top of Potrero Hill on DeHaro St just ten blocks from my work. I took these for you MM, hope you at least get to see what I see. The perspective in the ones that look farther away are disconcerting to me. It is literally a five minute drive from that spot into the heart of the city. I am also learning that my camera is a bit off, what appears to be close in my lense becomes further off when translated to photo. I guess I need to work on that or figure out what the eye to print diff is. Ugh.

Ok, so I look at that and realize that somehow the pics overlapped. They say different pics but the posting isnt. shise. No energy to fix it tonight.

Today at the beach with a collie dog ("Kate") who belongs to my friend Fe.

god i wish i was there...at the beach...roasting weenies over a beach fire...nappin to the lappin o duh waves....

Jenn: great pictures, very dramatic view!

Seareach: those are absolutely beautiful.

I took Binks for a swim at the dam this morning, and took a couple of snaps:

...wow, Edge...

One day I have got to visit other countries. The geography you and Sea show is just beyond anything I have ever seen.

...of course, I said the same thing when I went to Albuquerque...just touring the US will keep me occupied for years, if we ever get to travel...

Great pictures Edge and Seareach! Edge, you might think of asking Sea to use the last shot of SOS running to make a wallpaper compilation for "A Boy and His Dog." It's perfect for that!

I took some more shots today from a fishing spot. BGB got a new bait net he wanted to try so we wandered down for a short while.







The three above are all bay bridge pics.



A young seagull crying for Momma.



Baby Seagull and Momma.



Seagull in flight.



Bloodguard Bob hanging over the edge of the pier.



The Amazing Fishing Chihuahua.



The end of the pier across from us.




The dock pilings if you lean over the edge of the pier.

Here is some more....



Giant Sea Bass, however, it is still a baby even though it's huge.



Massive Chinese turtles.



Spotted Gar to the left, alligator gar to the right.
