I wonder if the lemon juice was hurting the crab in any way. Or was he just flavoring himself up for some good eating?

Those sea lions are great. So lazy and surly.

Man, BP loves the Sean Connery. Good thing William wasn't there too, otherwise you probably would have heard nothing but Sean Connery the entire time in Alcatraz.

Surly is the perfect word to describe those sea lions. What a life that would be.

it looks all old and faded in the picture, like it was part of the original prison markings.

more like "hi this is Alcatraz, we lock up criminals here, oh shit you're indian get in the fucking cell darkie"

Haha, it's actually part of the history of Alcatraz that I didn't post about.

After the government stopped using it as a prison in the 1960's (because of cost I think), some native americans took over the island in protest of the way native americans were being treated in the US. At first, the US just left them out there and let them protest because the public supported them, and in time, a whole bunch of native americans moved out there to join in the protest. After like two years though, the media turned on them because of a huge fire that got started on the island that burned down a lot of the buildings. At that point, the US decided to put an end to it, and took it back by force. And after that, it became a tourist destination. The end.

I'm impressed with your beastly memory as many of the details you recounted had all but disappeared from my memory bank. Thanks for restoring em.

No prob. By working sequentially, I found that I was able to recollect things that were buried pretty deep.

Hey, great post. Awesome pictures, too!

Indeed, that is the same, godforsaken pirate.

Haha, Brian actually sent me that pirate picture as well trying to justify why he got all excited when he saw it in San Fran. He, of course, did not win me over because he failed to use godforsaken when he described the pirate. Nice.

And the charge in question must then be for #2, because Brian had some tea, and I had a few sips. But that is a pretty big scam because she just brought it over and pored it out for us, without really asking or saying we would be charged. SCAM!
