Fish Out of Water

Musings about life & travel from an East Coast native living on the Left Coast in the CA State Capitol since 2004 and now also spending time at a home-away-from-home in Evanston, IL. This fish has lived in Madison, WI (7 years); Portland, OR (2 years); Las Vegas, NV (7 months); Middlebury, VT (3 summers); Marne-la-Vallee, a small town east of Paris, France (6 months); Middletown, CT (3 years); & Marshfield, MA, the fish's coastal hometown 40 miles south of Boston (17 years).

Interlude (April 11): Scenes from San Francisco

Minimal traffic on I-80
Quickest transit through toll crossing ever, even with reduced lanes
Quiet surrounding Oracle Park
Emptiness on Market Street
Hotel Vitale and restaurant not only closed but boarded up
Dearth of tourists along the Embarcadero
Pier 39 closed until May and surrounded by chain link fencing 
(where are the sea lions?)
Still a couple of swimmers in the ocean
Parking lots and fitness courts prohibited
No traffic on the streets
Golden Gate Bridge wide open
A typical highway sign

When will this all end?
