	A beautiful day on the bay.
	Our first hill - uncharacteristically still.
	The parade of ships has been more impressive in more peacful times.

	Still a scary bridge to Pt Bonita.
	Some hikers are smaller than others.
	Sic transit gloria mundi - the fate of yesterday's high tech.
	And whither goest today's high tech?
	Show over at 3:45, back to the cars at 4:45.
