Never drive past Comic-Con if you're in a hurry to be somewhere else. Or unless you like watching alien girls with green skin wearing tin foil bikinis. I think everyone falls into one of those categories.






I can't help wondering how they managed to get it into this parking lot, though.

The boat was so long I couldn't get it all into one shot. Sorta like the lines at the DMV.

Nothing conveys a sense of peace and relaxation while walking along the Pacific shoreline like being buzzed by an airplane towing a banner for a strip club.

The Museum of Natural History had a special exhibit on horses. Of course, of course.


If you wondered, as I did, how they got the horses to wear those gas masks, they simply showed them this as an example of what happens to unmasked horses.

The San Diego Automotive Museum had a steampunk exhibit. I've always wondered what would happen if a ceiling fan married a tricycle, and I bet you have, too.

This looks like a chassis of a stagecoach - sort of - but it's an apparently functional pedal-driven contraption. All kinds of awesome.

A genuine Dirigible Inspection Service Craft? What could be cooler than that!? Nothing, unless it was being operated by a green skinned alien girl wearing a tinfoil bikini and who also happened to be a zombie.

Seriously? Can you believe the weird contraptions some people ride nowadays?

Speaking of weird contraptions, I have no idea why all of these electric cars were lined up in the parking lot, unless they were waiting for a big bird to come along and hatch them. (Yeah, it's getting late.)

Can you imagine how old that thing is? And the bonsai bougainvillea has been around for a while, too. *duck and cover*

It's not a pelican - well, I'm pretty sure it's not - but it's still silly, somber, and prehistoric. Plus, it apparently can hover.

If you go to Peohe's for dinner on your birthday, they make a big deal of it. As well they should, given that they're charging $68.95 for a seafood tower.

They say that everything is bigger in Texas, but "they" have never seen a yaupon on Coronado Island. It looks like something from a Peter Jackson nightmare.

Sea dragons at the Birch Aquarium: silly, somber, and...well...you know. That one on the left is giving me the stink eye. Although he could just have gas.

We took one of these out for a spin. It's a hovercraft. It's amazing how touchy the US Navy is about people "borrowing" their amphibious assault vehicles. Somebody's definitely off our Christmas card list this year.
Leave a comment. It makes us happy.
