Well good evening boys and girls! I am so almost home! Eight more days and I will be back in sweet sweet texas, land of the free, home of the non-kerry voting non-tree-hugging hippie-hating glorius people that we all are deep down inside :D . But I'm not quite home yet, so I'm gonna enjoy my remaining time here in cali. This past weekend I finally went to San Fransisco. Yeah, I lived here for almost a year, and never went there. Yeah, its sad, but I took care of it. Me and Joe (one of the guys I work with) went and did the tourist thing there for the day. It was a most interesting expierience. We didnt really have a plan so we just kinda went. After seeing the trolly/cable car things, we just had to ride them, so we made our way to the closest trolley station and stood in line to get on. There just so happened to be a very strange man, who I assume to be homeless, playing his guitar and singing for the crowd. He went into his own personal renditions of great american classics like the spongs bob theme song and the teenage mutant ninja turtles theme song. I thouroughly enjoyed this and was ready to compensate him for his "talent." Then it came time for him to walk around and ask for money. All was going well untill he decided to speak. He had decided that he was not being properly compensated for his work, so he let us know it. He was a blod man, but not a smart man; he would say things along the lines of, "OOHHH, thanks, please dont give me money!!," "Remember kids, poor people are dirty, and you should hate them!" and my perzonal favorite "Thats right folks, turn away, making eye contact will make you homeless too!" Needless to say, it was an akward time for everyone in line, lol. After that it was smooth sailing though, san fran is a beautiful city! We went around and saw the major sights and called it a day. Today we went to go see the redwood tree's and drive the pacific coast highway. Those trees are big!! We got off to a late start so we had to rush through all the trails to be able to make it to the highway with some daylight left. Once we got to a lookout point along the highway, I was in awe. Its like, you have the whole continent behind you and then it all just ends. I just sat on the cliff, took it all in, and watched the sun set. It was good stuff. Oh snap people, its like two something so I need to be getting to bed so I can work towmorow and then have enough energy to go skiing the next day. I'll be seeing yall soon!
