I'm Here
Well, I made it to San Francisco. Just flew in (boy, are my arms tired), and checked into the hotel, so have not really seen anything yet. Based on the pollution content in the atmospher, I'd say I've arrived in the late 20th century. Frankly, it's a wonder these people ever made it out of the 20th century (little Star Trek humor there... either you get it or you don't. Sorry).
The flight from Dallas to San Francisco was amazing, since it was my first time doing anything like that, but as I try to write about it, I realize that all my insights would either come across as extremely inane in print, or would not be something I would be able to translate into words, or, in most cases, both. Suffice it to say it was cool flying over landscapes that were completely unlike anything I had ever seen before. It's amazing, also, the places people live. Kind of depressing, though, being up high enough for the first time to be able to look straight up and see the sky get darker above you as the atmosphere thins... depressing to know that that's as close as I'm going to get... 10 percent there, and no further... oh well.
