first time I have ever seen the underside of the Golden Gate Bridge. Not as pretty as the side or the top, but amazing when you think this is what holds up all those cars, all that wind, all that fog, and all those camera flashes.
if you want to find a positive out of hurricanes, it is that generally the day after they pass there are some brilliant sunsets. Unfortunately I was stuck in the ATL airport for this one and couldn’t grab my M3 but still a great site to behold nevertheless. And fittingly for an airport picture, I am uploading this from 30,000 feet.
only one plot left in our community here – and this backhoe is positioned to start the digging. Glad to see that people are betting on the future and moving out here even if it is a bit sketchy today.
spent a weekend with my good friend from Japan in NYC but due to the incoming ridiculously crazy hurricane Sandy, both our flights tomorrow were cancelled, so we made a mad dash for the airport to find a flight to Tokyo and a flight to Atlanta today, otherwise we would be stranded in NYC, homeless and flightless till at least Wed… So far, it looks like the gods are on our side cause we both got booked on flights to our destinations – you’ll have to see if my picture tomorrow is from ATL or NYC to be sure if I made it or not… Anyway, had to do a quick double bed jump at the W Times Square before we ran out – as you can see, Saito-san is not as used to timed bed jumping as I am…
hit up a couple of clubs in NYC for some halloween parties. Knew I should have gone and gotten a costume but didn’t and felt totally left out – oh well. I went to enough clubs in Japan to last two lifetimes so I am planning to graduate to a club-free life in the near future. Still nice to get in with VIP treatment though 🙂
i ♥ ny.
actually, I’m not a Giants fan. Not even a baseball fan really. But it is awesome being in a city where the home team is killing it so far (at home) in the World Series – people are loving life here. Even buying SF Giants themed bicycles like this – and being hipster SF, of course it is a fixie…
ford mustang, top down, surfboard in the trunk. Well, laptop in the trunk, but a boy can dream can’t he?
the constant at every W hotel – the green apples. Ends up being my breakfast since W doesn’t do breakfast, which as I have mentioned before, is one of my favorite perks of travel.
completely exhausted day 1, but a good start. Ended the day with the Presidential debate and then the Giants Game 7 win. Obama won for the best comeback on a stupid assertion by Romney with the zinger that we have less horses and bayonets – i.e. the times, they are a changing. Anyway, took this picture driving to one of my appointments and hoped I’d have a reason to use it.
