While eating this duck came up and looked like he was hoping I would feed it, but instead I just snapped a photo.

La Jolla Children’s Pool and Harbor Seals

Dave 2017-12-05

Not far from downtown La Jolla is a children’s pool that has been permanently taken over by harbor seals. If you are ever in the area it is nice to go watch the seals and take in the coastal area. You will be able to find lots of things to see around there. Anything from watching the waves, to painters, to fisherman, surfers or hang around and watch the harbor seals.

While in La Jolla in San Diego, California I watched as surfers were catching some waves just south of the the children’s pool.

Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino has quite a way of advertising on the Las Vegas strip as you can tell by the sign.

Awesome Paint Job on a Garage Door

Dave 2017-11-19

While in Los Angeles I passed by a house that had their garage door painted to look like several book cases. Although I wasn’t sure if they are trying to identify as being nerdy, maybe they are professors, perhaps a bookworm, or just to be different. No matter what their reasoning, I thought it looked pretty neat.

The Legacy of USS Midway: A Floating Museum and Symbol of American Naval Power

Dave 2017-11-10

The USS Midway holds a significant place in American naval history as one of the most iconic aircraft carriers ever built. Named after the decisive Battle of Midway in World War II, the USS Midway served in the United States Navy for an impressive 47 years. Commissioned in 1945, she was the lead ship of her class and the largest vessel in the world until 1955. The Midway participated in various conflicts, including the Vietnam War and the Gulf War, and played a crucial role in projecting American military power across the globe. With a length of over 1,000 feet and a displacement of 64,000 tons, the Midway was a formidable presence at sea. Its flight deck could accommodate more than 70 aircraft, including fighter jets, helicopters, and reconnaissance planes. The ship also boasted an array of advanced weaponry, making it a force to be reckoned with. Today, the USS Midway serves as a floating museum in San Diego, California, attracting visitors from all over the world. Exploring the decks and compartments of this historic vessel offers a unique glimpse into the life of sailors and aviators who served on board. From the hangar deck to the bridge, visitors can immerse themselves in the rich history and heritage of the USS Midway. Exhibits showcase the ship’s operational systems, aircraft collection, and personal stories of those who called this mighty carrier their home. The USS Midway Museum is not only a tribute to the brave men and women who served on board but also a testament to the technological advancements and strategic importance of aircraft carriers in modern warfare.

Border X Brewery Event

Dave 2017-11-07

Went to an event at the Border X Brewery in San Diego where there were cool cars, bikes, street artwork, and beauties. This event took place in a very predominant hispanic part of town in Barrio Logan. At this event I think I was the token white guy there. Here are some photos of the event.

Have you ever wondered why the bathroom on a ship is called the “head?” Here is the answer.

The Future is Here

Dave 2017-11-02

Hello…is this Gordon’s Pizza?

No sir, it’s Google Pizza.

I must have dialed a wrong number. Sorry.

No sir, Google bought Gordon’s Pizza last month.

OK. I would like to order a pizza.

Do you want your usual, sir?

My usual? You know me?

According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meat balls on a thick crust.

OK! That’s what I want …

May I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten free thin crust?

What? I detest vegetables.

Your cholesterol is not good, sir.

How the hell do you know?

Well, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records. We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years.

Okay, but I don’t want your rotten vegetable pizza! I already take medication for my cholesterol.

Excuse me sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly. According to our database, you only purchased a box of 30 cholesterol tablets once, at Drug sale Network, 4 months ago.

I bought more from another drugstore.

That doesn’t show on your credit card statement.

I paid in cash.

But you did not withdraw enough cash according to your bank statement.

I have other sources of cash.

That doesn’t show on your last tax return unless you bought them using an undeclared income source, which is against the law.

WHAT THE HELL?

I’m sorry, sir, we use such information only with the sole intention of helping you.

Enough already! I’m sick to death of Google, Facebook, Twitter, What’s App and all the others. I’m going to an island without internet, cable TV, where there is no cell phone service and no one to watch or spy on me.

I understand sir, but you need to renew your passport first. It expired 6 weeks ago.

Do Not Block Fire Door

Dave 2017-11-01

While I was parking at Target I happened to notice this scene and couldn’t help, but laugh because of the stupidity. It is actually kind of scary if you think about people needing to get out of the building in the event of an emergency, but some brilliant person put a big tree in the way where customers put shopping carts to block the door. What could possibly ever go wrong?
