USS Midway Tour

Stuart — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 02:37:39 +0000

I took a tour of the USS Midway today. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

On the flight deck.

View South toward Coronado bridge.

Picture of “The Island” from the flight deck. This is the bridge and control center on top of the Flight Deck.

View East toward Downtown San Diego.

View over the Flight Deck showing two catapults.

Unfortunately I did not take pictures of some of the most interesting areas such as the Galley, Brig, Captain and Admiral quarters. I recommend this trip to anyone, but plan accordingly. Our trip was ~4 hours and we were moving at a good pace.

Being single in San Diego

Dating is tough. It’s even tougher in San Diego with an endless stream of beautiful people passing through on a regular basis. This cartoon sums up the experience better than I could ever put into words so:

Fall colors

Stuart — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 06:04:01 +0000

Fall is my favorite season. The crisp winds and the leaves changing colors make the last few weeks of October a very unique time of year….at least that’s what I remember. I’ve lived in San Diego for 10 years and barely remember the experience of a real Fall season.

While many joke that Chicago only has two seasons: Winter and Road Construction, I can confirm that San Diego only has two seasons as well: Summer and Wildfires.

Without a true Fall season in San Diego we miss out on watching the leaves change colors. However, there are pictures courtesy of Flickr!

Took a trip to the Torrey Pines Gliderport on Sunday. Here are a few pics (snapped with my iPhone).

The coolest Lifeguard station in San Diego:
