Just to update everyone, my computer's power supply fried itself a couple of weeks ago, thus my only internet access since has been when I have time to come to the library, thus my postings may be even more infrequent than usual for a while. (Plus the library internet has its drawbacks, chiefly the time limit. Last Friday I had just finished composing a post similar to this and tried posting it just seconds before my time ran out, only to find I had failed to close one of my html tags. I corrected it and was just one second from posting when POOF. If I hadn't started laughing I'd've started crying.)
Saturday I was able to go up on the new I-280 bridge. Great view in all directions, I only wish I had thot to take binocs with me. Also skipped the last couple hours of karaoke that night (during which I usually only get one more song in anyway) to check out the light display on the central pylon. There could have been more variations in the color patterns, but still cool. Sadly, the pic below is the best I can find so far. (My personal fave was the candy corn pattern for Halloween.)
More later...
