I don't believe those fell down due to the bump. Looks like a controlled detonation to me.

San Fran for a long weekend with my kiddo
Some good information here. A few notes. Fleet Week (usually the first week in October) is often the tail end of the little glorious weather we get in SF. September is usually great. June/July can be quite the experience for those not realizing what they are in for as it can be colder than it is in winter. Fog will move in after 2p with wind. Dress in layers!. I think I might like the location around the Embarcadero (such as the Hotel Vitale mentioned) for a few reasons. It's not as touristy as the Fisherman's Wharf area where everyone eventually wants to end up, and the Ferry Building has a lot of nice food. You're not far away from the Wharf, walking distance to the great Exploratorium, and also close enough to the Union Square area. Bonus points for renting bikes, biking from the Embarcadero over the bridge and then taking the ferry back from Sausalito. Highly recommend the Cal Academy of Sciences in GGP - outside of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, it's one of the nicest I've been to out here. The rest of the museum is nice as well, plus there are other things in the Park (bike rental, gardens, etc). Note that there's a great, and free, observatory on top of the de Young which is right by the Science museum. 15+ years out here and I've not gone to Muir Woods, mostly because it's super crowded and there are other options. But note that they now require reservations, and you must also take a shuttle in. From what I hear, you might want to book those tix now. : https://www.nps.gov/muwo/planyourvisit/index.htm Old School Cal-Italian? Tadich Grill. Yet another reason to stay near the Embarcadero. Depending on your boys, there's a few activities in the Crissy Field area which could be worthwhile https://planetgranite.com/sf/hours-and-directions/ https://houseofair.com/ Combine those two with a short walk/exploration to Fort Point I would recommend Alcatraz as well, though again you might want to think about booking now. Slots will definitely sell out during the summer months quickly.

Into the Spiderverse
I admit I'm out on a limb here, but I always thought that the Lego Movie had much more to it - some real commentary on the nature of play and imagination. I thought Spiderverse was right with it. The art direction was just great - truly making a comic book come to life. The final boss scene is epic, and just beautifully done. Love the the meta message that anyone can be Spiderman.

She hinted at having done some bad things in her past. She always wanted to be a writer. She became a famous one for publishing the account of the crime.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
Public parking garage. Said the attendant was screaming at her but she didn’t know what the fuss was about so she kept driving. The thing lives on our small SUV this time of year because of ski season. We’re literally going to buy a used POS mountain car so I can keep this stuff on the roof without fear that she’ll forget it’s there. Money well spent. No more ulcers.

Some real high points covered here. I like Fishwife in Pacific Grove - it's better than the menu suggests. Not fancy, but solid seafood. A little more upscale is Passionfish. I'm a fan of Pacific Grove in general, as it's just slightly less traveled than Carmel - at least a different crowd. The Aquarium is world-class, and huge - it can take a good chunk of the day to visit, but is highly worth it.- Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."

Dang, that's way too soon. Going to miss his coverage, as I often have his voice and phrases in my head when I'm pushing it: he's on the rivet, throwing the cat amongst the pigeons, suitcase full of courage, etc. Yes, over the years they got a little repetitive, but for me he's been the voice of the Tour all these years. By all accounts, a really nice guy as well. RIP.- Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
Oh come on, that would assume that he's a thin-skinned vindictive...oh. Never mind.- CFB coaching carousel

No, I think the lawsuits from last year's fire in Napa/Sonoma/Santa Rosa, which likely stemmed from poor maintenance and arc-ing power lines are the reason the stock dropped. That's a much bigger draw on revenue. - South Lake Tahoe/Heavenly
