The Golden Gate Bridge is a steel suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay onto the Pacific Ocean. You can’t really appreciate the size of the bridge until you see it in person – in a word – it is huge. Anyway – the pictures are better than anything I could write about it. The first time you see it you pause because it is really a lot larger than you would have anticipated.

We visited the bridge in late afternoon / early evening and got some really good sunset shots. We walked about half way across the bridge and came back because we didn’t want to risk getting locked on the far side (the bridge closes early in the fall/winter). The bridge is stunning and even more so when you consider it was completed in 1937.

Since it was played in Puerto Rico and likely on during a football game you may have missed this awesome half court shot. Fortunately it showed up online. Yes – basketball season has started and No – it is not too early to start giving BobG hell.

Just because Bob gets more than enough grief from me I’ve added a video he will like after the jump.

In March of this year Dr. Pepper offered to give “everyone in America” (with the exception of Slash and Buckethead) a free Dr. Pepper should Axl Rose of Guns & Roses release Chinese Democracy this year. Today the masterpiece has been unleash on the world (exclusively at Best Buy) and you can claim your drink.

As of right now you have a little under 14 hours to claim your drink. The site is already running slow so good luck and if you buy the new CD let me know if it is any good.

UPDATE: Dr. Pepper is having a hard time keeping their server running. The link above is still correct just not working very well.

I am sorting through the pictures and getting ready to make a few posts about our recent trip to San Francisco. This was kinda cool so I decided to go ahead and post it – it is Cara driving down Lombard Street the “crookedest” street in the world.

Found this online and this it was kinda neat. Maybe not as humorous as some of BobG’s Internet Oddities of the Week but not bad. Ok – until the puppies wake up it is no Hamster on a Piano but it is fun to watch.
