Just came back from Angel Island on a foggy Bay Area fall day, and saw a shark eat a seagull (not pictured)

When you’re a snail, can you move away at any speed other than “slowly”?

That was an intense episode— and also crazy that spot is a major spaceport nowadays

We just had some family visiting and did soooo many of the things on the list.
We rode the California Street cable car, and they just let you stay on at the end of the line so you can ride back to downtown. It’s awesome and there’s no wait.

Guillaume Pierre @legulm.bsky.social · Aug 9

Yeah we stayed around there a couple of times when the kids were much younger. Hopefully you can get around and visit the area — the Limahuli Garden and Preserve is amazing

It was for the Dulles to SFO leg of the trip, but still quite nice

Guillaume Pierre @legulm.bsky.social · Aug 6

This happened to us a few years ago when we were flying back from France, so we called the airline and they bumped us up to business class

I see so many people cutting on the left in West Berkeley, and like why do you think it’s called a roundabout??

It was special for my spouse since her grandpa was one of the first employees at Disneyland, where Roy Disney took his picture.
He was a mailman, a Tinkerbell catcher (look it up on YT), and even joined the boilermaker union so he could drive the steam train around the park 🚂
