So if you recall my last few posts I wasn't just riding the Coast Starlight for my health. Unlike many of my cross country trips I actually had a genuine reason to head out to the west coast in the form of a computer security conference in San Diego. Now I've been to San Diego before, for about 24 hours in 2013 and then a longer stay in 2009. ( Read more... )

Unlike the last photo set where I could safely discard most of the photos as poor quality signal fluff, in this case most of the photos are of ( Read more... )

This next set dates back from May 1 08 where I took a trip to Boston for a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. That didn't end so well losing 3-0 to the Blue Jays, one of only a handful of losses at home that year, but my excursion out to see the PCC's on the Mattapan Line .
