Photos from San Francisco
I walked home from work today. I saw this neat bike store on market street. Here are the pictures:
And with the cover removed
looks like they are from mydutchbike.com
It reminds me of the madsen that Melisa wants.
I was also playing around with the Panorama mode on my phone. IT produced this:
it seemed kind of cool at the time...

China – Tuesday
What a marathon Monday was. I was so tired that I actually fell asleep in the bathtub. Which is great because I slept very well as a result.
Tuesday brings some real work.
China Day One – Travel to China
I say Days number 1 because it took about a full 24 hours to get here. The journey started in SLC at about 9am Saturday. I arrived at my hotel about the same time Sunday morning (Utah Time) which is about 11PM in Beijing.
My flight out of SLC was at 11am.
When i finally got to the ticket agent to check in (no kiosks allowed for international travel) it was about 10:30. She then tells me that there is a problem with my ticket. GREAT, i think!
Our company uses this travel agency from Hunstville. So far for me it hasn't been to bad of an experience, until saturday morning.
What happened was the travel agent booked my flight directly with Korean Air, and did not post my ticket to Delta. So Delta knew i had the seat, but no paid ticket. GRRRR. This finally got figured out about 10:40. 20 minutes to get through security. Double GRRRR.
The oh-so-helpful folks at Delta told me i would never make it and they would be happy to assist me in rebooking my entire itinenrary. YEAH, NO THANKS!
I took my ticket and ran. Towards the 50 minute long security line.
I decided to try my luck and go for the Medallion line. Yeah. it worked. (chris-smiling)
It took me all of 10 minutes from ticket in hand to be boarding the plane. Now it was just a question if my bag would make it. My boss was not sure it would make it. Off we go to Seattle.
Its amazing to me how short domestic flights seem these after taking some 12-14 hour flights overseas.
