| Some big giraffes. |
| Mother and baby koala. |  |
 | Snow leopard. |
| Meerkat. |  |
 | Some freaky pigs. (I came out of the zoo thinking, "They've got animals not found in nature!") |
| Bonobo. Reminded me of those apes from the early part of 2001: A Space Odyssey, so humanlike they're creepy. |  |
 | Enough of the zoo: this is an actual GPS satellite that I worked to support for about three weeks. In the background is a full-size model of the Apollo command and service modules. Hard to believe that human beings could go all the way to the Moon and back in one of those. |
| A tower in Balboa Park through the trees. |  |
 |
| San Diego from Barrier Island. |
 | The San Ysidro port of entry. The border is about where the roads split. |
| Don't dump on me! |  |
 | Room with a view: out my hotel room window, overlooking Interstate 8. |
| Ran into this, um, sculpture in the connecting airport on the way home. It's entitled "The Spirit of Pigcinnati." |  |
