Eastern Airlines
Probably the last Eastern Airlines' plane in existence, and it was probably one of its first.

Hirshhorn Museum
This was one big something. I like modern art, and thought this interesting, but in a museum? The lighting was weird because of all the neon built into the sculpture.
The number of objects attached to this is rather amazing.

My Grandfather
A scan of a wrinkled print of my grandfather at the Civillian Conservation Corps. This was taken when he was in his teens, 14 thru 16 most likely.

What?
What they did was horrible. But I did find humor in the last paragraph.
[Raymond] LaFountain was originally described by police as Samoraj's live-in boyfriend, but the gender classification at the jail was changed from male to female following a routine strip search, Pinellas sheriff's spokesman Mac McMullen said.
Oops. I can hear the guards, "Okay, take off your clothes. Now turn around and.... Hey, wait. He ain't got no dick. Sarg!"

Peloton
With all the talk about Landis, here is a shot of him being led up through the Georgia countryside by his team during the Tour de Georgia, which he won. I believe he is 9th wheel in this shot, with 7 team riders iupfront, and somebody from another team sitting eigth.

Landis and Danielson
With all the talk about Landis, here is a shot of him leading Tom Danielson, of Team Discovery, up Brasstown Bald during the Tour de Georgia. (Not a great picture, but it with a little, teeny camera I carry in my bike jersey pocket.)

San Francisco The Last Day
I had to be at the airport before noon, and had a little packing left to do, so my final morning was going to be short. I had no desire to miss my plane.
I had to pick up a few gifts and raid the ATM. The only ATM for BOA I had spotted was Ghirardelli Square, a few blocks away from the hotel and the waterfront. So I headed there and visited the ATM. Then I stopped and snapped a few shots of infamous fountain with turtles and breastfeeding mermaids. It caused quite a stir when it was first unveiled. although there seems to be little information on it online.
Leaving the square I stopped on a stair case leading down from Ghirardelli Square and was attacked by a bird. He went right after my head. I ducked down and looked around, but could not see anything. I stayed there and fiddled with my camera, and the damn bird attacked me again! I finally spotted him, and figured he was protecting a nest, so I just left the area. I had seen a biker get covered with bird crap my first day in town, and while I did not mind getting attacked so much, I would mind a bird dive bombing me.
I picked up a few souvenirs and then snapped a few last pics before heading back to the hotel and then the airport.
My trip home was uneventful, for the most part. My luggage arrived intact, although they did open, search and repack my bike case. The only bad part was arriving at the economy parking lot at midnight and realizing I could not remember where the hell I parked my truck. I ended up walking up and down the rows of cars for an hour before I found my trusty Ranger.
Overall, this was one of the best trips I have taken. I hope to go back.

San Francisco Day 5
Day 5 was going to start with a bike trip to Haight-Ashbury and the Golden Gate Park, a small part of which I cycled during the race. Sadly, I awoke to a flat tire on the front of my bike, mentioned previously. I did not want to risk a flat so reluctantly decided to skip Haight-Ashbury until another trip. I headed, instead, to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
I had been looking forward to SF MOMA. I like modern art and so this little trip had been on my calendar from day one. Sadly, about 40% of the exhibits were closed, including the Picturing Modernity photo exhibit I had been looking forward to. I still did get to see some interesting stuff.
• The Art of Design – The architecture and design collection was a wonderful collection of how artistic design can be useful in architecture, industrial and household design. From buildings to motorcycles to furniture. This was probably my favorite open exhibit, but I did feel it should be bigger.
• Shomei Tomatsu: Skin of the Nation – An exhibition of a Japanese postwar photographer who documented the aftermath of the atomic bombing, the influence of the American military, the 1930’s economic boom and pop culture. So many fascinating photographs with a nuanced insight into life in Japan. The exhibit really gave a fascinating glimpse into postwar Japan.
• Beyond Art and Life – The contemporary painting and sculpture collection was a diverse collection. I think I appreciated the paintings more than the sculpture.
No photography was allowed inside, so no pictures for you!
After MOMA I wondered around the Market Street area taking pictures.
Then I walked towards Chinatown, to get a photograph of the front gate, which I had not seen on the previous trip.
Then I just headed back towards the bay, taking in what I could. I passed the “seedy” part of town, then the “churchy” part of town, and then made it back to the Lombard area.
For my final evening in town, I did not want to do much. I did want to try and get some pictures of a few Victorians. I walked a few miles, snapped some pictures, and then made my way towards the water front again. I saw more parks with, again, lots of people using them. The evening was very nice. Many people were out with their dogs after work. Little dog parties were forming at several parks. Lots of people were out exercising. This is a great city.
There was this lush park above the bay with lots of people exercising, and a dog party going on. I found this great statue with some intricate tile work at the base. If only I could have taken it home....
