(Sunday) Joanne's Australian nephew, who is currently based in New York, was flying into SFO to work with a client in San Jose as part of an ongoing project, and asked if it was possible we could meet up. So we decided to make a day/ afternoon of it and see what was worth seeing on the peninsula before meeting him. Who knew there was a 98 room beaux arts mansion/chateau in Hillsborough? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolands https://carolands.org/ https://www.sfgate.com/sfhistory/article/california-gilded-age-mansion-carolands-17441886.php Or that there is a water temple just off I-280 https://sfpuc.org/learning/come-visit/pulgas-water-temple https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulgas_Water_Temple https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/Pulgas-Water-Temple-Hetch-Hetchy-water-Crystal-14992239.php Then a bit of culture, art and history in Stanford University. Makes you think, doesn't it? More sights / (steampunk?) architecture at Stanford. It's amazing what being one of the big four robber barons will get you! And then on to meet up with Joanne's nephew @ http://buckswoodside.com/ They have a virtual tour of all their paraphanalia! https://matterport.com/discover/space/k6RtWhrenma Turns out Joanne's nephew's client is small $2T company some of you may have heard of. Their offices look nice. The project is due to last a couple of years, so we may be seeing more of Joanne's nephew in the future!

Well that was the Canadian side. I will say nothing more. It was a pretty whirlwind trip. We drove to Niagara Falls and stayed overnight on the Ontario side. The las photograph in the previous post was from our room on the 30th floor of the Marriott Fallsview Hotel. Tuesday we drove back over to the US side and went on a three-hour tour of the various state parks associated with the falls. Stayed overnight in Utica, NY which is approximately half way. Had an excellent lasagna pizza for dinner. We drove back today and picked up our new rescue dog, Junie and now we are chilling at home until we pick up BearCub from the Doggie Spa at 4:00 pm.

Sunday night. Baby back pork ribs. Farro & Roast Veggie bowl with Salmon. @ http://buckswoodside.com/

There's only one way to find out.

best female jazz singer that ever existed. Fight me.

Holy shit. BRB, moving to .de

Ah. It's a long game, Marc. Or else just buy Diablo or some other mesh discs...

Tonight No bananas were harmed in the making of this dish (as technically, they tend to be a garnish/side instead of an ingredient, with curries) as this was a turkey chili.

Your AI skills are rapidly improving I see.

I can't fight that feeling.

@morphsci are you on the Canada or US side? Several great Ice Wineries on Canada side.....

I had no idea that there was a gay Niagra Falls! Is it close to the regular one?

Well after the weekend storm we experienced, I would say my backyard.

Guess where we are

The finish matches their existing headboard/frame quite well.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. Hope this isn't another clean sweep by Verstappen.
