San Francisco International Airport

 

Welcome to San Francisco International Airport.  It's been a few years since I was last here, and a few things have changed.  

Last couple of times I've not really had much chance to poke around and see what's going on.  But today I put that right.  I finally got to have a look around the museum.  The decor is wonderful, and they have lots of interesting paraphernalia, especially about Pan Am.  I guess that makes sense.

They also have an extensive library of aviation literature.  It's all in locked cases, but I believe the public can have access to the material, just not for casual browsing, but proper research.

I keep forgetting they flew flying boats out of here, as they also did at Oakland, Alameda and Treasure Island.  I was also reading about Oakland International last night, and it seems you could actually fly from SFO to Oakland in the '60s.

There is a reason for carrying that thing with me.  All these are off of my cell phone, no touch up.

Bay Farm Island

I like the stormy sky and the bright sun.

My new movie blog

Yet another movie blog?

Yes, another movie blog. See my boss was lampooning me at work the other day, claiming I had a questionable taste in films, because I'd just been watching "Whisper of the Heart", which in a disposable description could be termed an anime chick flick. Then I mentioned seeing the bonus disk for "M" by Fritz Lang, which he labeled as morbid, then on learning of the kinder-murder aspect of that film others added in "morbid, need psychological evaluation" etc.

So here I am, defending my taste in movies with the intent of blogging every film I watch....
