For years I was mis stating this dogs name. A datsun is a car and not a dog.

A few thoughts on perfect games

Yesterday was the 20th perfect game in MLB history and the second one this month and the third one in the last year.
For a bit of perspective, no perfect games between 1922 and 1956. Then none between 1968 and 1981.

Somethings I saw some of which may be mildly interesting

Thinking back on the last few days and it has been raining. 
Was walking along Polk Street to see OSS 117 Lost in Rio when I saw a Yellow Church of Scientology van being towed. Wanted to make an interesting back story but I could not come up with anything interesting. If you thought Austin Powers was funny and you can either handle subtitles or you understand French, see this movie. 
Later I walked past Shanghai Jellys and I saw a bulldog sitting on a bar stool. It was not silly at all.

Long Beach and locking my keys in the car

I saw that Jet Blue was having a $9 airfare from San Francisco to Long Beach so I booked a flight that returned the next day. Taking the Marcus show on the road is good. 
My goal was to go cheaply the whole way around so when I was at the airport I took the bus. Taking the bus in an area where most people do not use public transit is a good way to cast for the upcoming Star Wars live action special.

My hotel was rated two stars and it was fitting. Nothing special and nothing horrible. In the morning I could hear people in the other room and one of the classy guests left a cigarette butt in front of my door. 
Ran three miles twice and I hardly saw anyone. It was like I am legend. 

The Town of Long Beach was like Waldorf on the ocean with a low traffic Pier 39 knockoff built in. 

The bus ride was the most entertaining bit of the trip in both directions. 

When I got back to the Bay Area I drove into the city and found a parking spot. While walking away from my car I realized I did not have my keys so I walked back to the Marcusmobile I discovered the keys were in the car and the doors locked so I walked into a martial arts studio but (I also did not have my cell phone.....) their phone's 8 button did not work so I walked until I saw a black lab and I know the dogs person so I roped him into being the phone contact for the tow truck guy to unlock the Marcusmobile. 
It took a long time. As a profession, tow truck drivers are an odd looking bunch. (I apologize if you are a tow truck driver who is a regular reader...) 

Went to Alphabar and ran into JD on the way down Polk. She assumed that I had fallen into a well. Actually closed Greens which is rare...

Part ii or I hit send

With Irish Pubs. The wedding was much fun and I will post my pictures. I am sure my semi working camera will have taken at least three usable pictures.
It is very muggy in nyc. Walked through time square where today they were having an anti nuclear weopon rally. Yesterday there was an attempted car bomb. As I got myself a rolling backpack I had some extra clothes that did not fit. My normal plan on leaving them in a bag on the street was probably not wise.

NYC NJ 5 1 2010

On my last couple of trips to NYC I thought briefly I would dig the big apple with more people getting jokes about releasing the poison. Besides the cost of living, traffic they are two small reasons I would stay in cloud city which is the winter and the summer. Factor in a recent blood donation with the heat and I am like Foreman in Zaire. I would be thrilled if every day was sunny 73 with a breeze. I do not like seasons.
Morristown is a much cooler version of Upper Marlboro which meant a county seat with
