Mark Twain, no words are more true my good man. Though a balmy 75 degrees today, coming from the humidity-filled, sweat-soaked 95 degree temps of the swamp that is Washington, D.C., I'm still getting used to how cold it is here. That being said, yesterday I took a boat over to Angel Island, the so-called Ellis Island of the west coast. I kid you not, it was about 40 degrees on the bay...and people were sailing! I couldn't believe it. The great part was the immigration station (the main attraction, err...only attraction on the island) was closed. So, I deci

decided I'm not going to relive those tourist things again. I saw a bar called Ho's. Took a picture of that. I kid you not there was a massage parlor above it. And, no, I did not visit either. The other event I took a picture of was these two dudes in a park. I spent about an hour eating pizza and watching these Rastafarian-looking guys do thai chi or martial artsy things on a basketball court. At one point, they had samari swords and were "play fighting." They did not mind that I played paparazzi because they kept doing what they were doing. I did find it interesting that a guy who lives out of a shopping cart had 2 massive swords with him.
