Antioch, CA

Last night the temperature dropped and we got snow. That isn't all that significant, but the fact that we got snow at about 500 feet above sea level is rather significant. We NEVER get snow that low around here.

I will try to take a better shot tomorrow, if it doesn't all melt away.

A trip to Point Bonita Lighthouse

Point Bonita Lighthouse, Marin Headlands, CA

Amy and I went to Point Bonita Lighthouse today for our Saturday Afternoon date.

Smoke gets in my eyes

Please note the smoke. These are supposed to be crystal blue skies, but with a fire in Plumas and another fire in Morgan Hill, all of the smoke has settled on us here in the Contra Costa County.

John Bowling

Oh and a picture of me being...well..me.

Christ

Or, at least a suplture that looks just like him.

Mirror Ball

Tonight John and I went to an OSA** dance and they had this cool mirror ball on the ceiling.

(Beyond the Cut)

**When it comes to dancing there are three age categories in the LDS Church:
18 - 30 or the Young Single Adults (or the grapes)
26 - 42 or the Mid Singles
30 - Death or the Old Single Adults (or the Raisins) (And I do mean death. I had a 93 year old woman flirt with me tonight)

Mirror Mirror on the ceiling - whose the worse dancer here

More from the mirror ball at the dance

Oakland and San Francisco

I know I could count three bridges, I'm not sure if you can see the fourth.

Missing Hubcap

So funny story, I was turning onto one of the canyon roads in Sunol when I saw something in my rear view mirror. There were no other cars around so I knew that it was from me. It was one of my hubcaps rolling away. It popped off at such a speed that it went rolling back, then turned left, then hit a curb and had enough turning to it that it cleared the curb and flew down a ravine - never to be seen again. I went looking for it, but to no avail. It is gone. So now I'm missing two hubcaps, both on me back tires.

Set Deconstruction

I helped some old co-"workers" tear down a theatre set tonight.

No Duh

Every time I see this sign I think "No Duh! polished rock with water on it - of course it's slippery."

Fremont Festival of the Arts

I went to a street fair today. The first picture is of some of the booths. The second picture is of the Jesus Freaks, who used to come to my high school and call people to repentance - including Molly Mormon girls.

***On a personal note, last night I managed to shatter my LCD display on my camera. So I can't see what pictures I'm taking anymore except through the viewfinder which doesn't really tell me if the pictures are blurry. It's going to cost me about $50 to fix - and it's going to take a couple of weeks. Please be patient with PAD. I'll still post everyday - we may just have some unintentional blurry pictures.

Friday night in Fremont

Baseball Stitches

Installation art at Fremont Central Park. These are supposed to represent baseball stitches.

(A note on this picture: It's really tailored to three people - Dun, who loves sports; My sister who loves modern art; and my girlfriend who told me I couldn't take any more crappy pictures like yesterday's)

More Perspective Shots

Bank of America Building

John & I went on a walk tonight after dinner. The first is the flag pole in Concord. The second is the B of A building in Downtown Concord.
