College Football: Washington at Cal

I went to the Washington/Cal game a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't much of a game as Washington crushed Cal 66-27 but fun part was seeing Memorial Stadium at night. Because of the non-existent parking, most Cal fans take BART (our subway) but with games starting at 7:30pm and lasting almost four hours and with BART closing at midnight, you are cutting it close. I haven't been to a true night game in years but it was nice seeing the place all lit up:

Only had my cell phone (forgot my camera), so the game shots were not great:

Touchdown Washington

And some dufus got in  line to go in at 4pm as the gates opened at 5:30 to make sure that he got his Marshawn Lynch Bobblehead (only for the first 10,000) and saw a couple of things:

Head Coach Sonny Dykes walking in

This is the coolest bobblehead

Music Monday: Some Interesting Choices

Just some music on this Monday, I have been in a strange mood so these selections might seem a little strange:

Hayward 9/11 Memorial

It is is Veterans Day and I finally got to go by the 9/11 Memorial in Downtown Hayward. Besides honoring the heroes of 9/11, it is also dedicated to local first responders, military veterans (I am included in that) and their families. So, I decided to share this for Veterans Day:

And a bonus, I went to the Cal-Washington football game at California's Memorial Stadium and as I was leaving the security guard let me in the player walkway to take these photos:

In your busy day, please take a second to say a prayer for our veterans and those who are on active service and protecting our rights in the nation.

Heart of the City Farmers Market

During the week I usually don't have a lot of time but recently I had a training and had a little time and walking over to Civic Center in San Francisco. They were having the Heart of the City Farmers Market and I checked it out:

And around the corner the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library was holding their usual Wednesday Book Sale:

I might have to take some Wednesday's off.

Bumgarner Winery

I was up in Placerville and went to the Bumgarner Winery with some friends. It was a really cool place to enjoy some time:

And I bought a little something to take home:
