My daughter's about to graduate from high school, so she and my wife are taking some tours of colleges. This weekend they went to Chico State, which
is a party school almost as notorious as my alma mater; U.C. Santa Cruz.
Last night they went camping on Angel Island, where my wife took this picture of the Golden Gate Bridge:
We're looking toward the west. San Francisco is to the left; Sausalito to the right; and the Pacific Ocean is on the other side of the bridge. That
fog bank in the distance is the reason Mark Twain once said "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."

...I was about to say "Gosh, the Golden Gate Bridge sure has deteriorated since it starred in Vertigo"...

Started knitting a cape. It's a lot of stitches: knitting a needle takes about half an hour.

Both my brothers went to Chico State to take GST (General Studies Thematic) to get all their basic classes out of the way then went on to other state
schools. My oldest went on to CCAC and the other one went to SFSU.

Neither my wife nor my daughter was too impressed with Chico. So far it looks like San Francisco State is her #1 choice. Next weekend they're going to
San Jose State and then they're flying up to Oregon to look at a couple places.
She managed to get a D in chemistry. This actually turned out to be a good thing, because it ruled out a lot of schools we couldn't afford anyway.

Finding the right school for your children is a hard job. And by the time that you have found one, they complain afterwards. I did what was right in
my opinion that time. I hope someday they will understand.

"except".
Not much happening here, but today I'm going to hit the town, trying to find Dad some birthday presents. The only thing he asked for is "solder".
Thank you Dad.

Actually I had a very bad English teacher. Fortunately my English was always ahead of school, it was a bit of a snooze subject for me.

I'm watching a National Geographic documentary about the Japan earthquake and tsunami. It was compiled mostly from news footage and cell phone video.
There's very little narration: the pictures speak for themselves...

To me, i found it fantastic that they also search for picturealbums and personal belongings. People who lost everything are very glad that they found
some pictures and belonigings of the people they loved.

It's incredibly hot in here today, incredibly hot in here...
Decided to walk to the market, but I soon regretted the idea. I even bought some Slush. (that's ground ice with syrup)
