It came from the BLOG!!!!

Here are some more images from my frequent sojourns upon the nearby Bay Trail. I know two of the shots look like sewer gates, but I think they're more flood control or sluice gates for the reclaimed wetlands that are bordered by the trail. It took me about 45 minutes to get out here and I stopped going south at the picture of the bridge. Beyond there I'm sure will be a path that leads to the San Mateo bridge! Can't wait to see it, but I definitely have to work my stamina up to do it (yes, I'm old and slow).

In the category of non brutally boring sluice gate material to read, my passport is *almost* done. That is, I called twice, and by the second time I was informed that my passport only had one more process to go though – whatever that means. Sigh... 12 weeks and counting... If you need your passport, I suggest you either opt for expedited service or keep calling with long winded tearful stories of how you need to rescue 90 starving children and need your passport to do it (because we all know how nutritious passports are).

Oh yeah! I almost forgot! I went to the Parkway last night to catch The Host. It's a Korean action/horror movie that was pretty decent. Definitely different than the usual Hollywood crap (it's Korean crap instead!). I never did like movies with deliberate pacing on the slower side, so only 2 stars for me. The best part was afterwards when we went to the Smokehouse for a cheeseburger and chili cheese fries. OH YEAH!!
