I had an interview today in Martinez. After the interview I went for a short drive before going back to my job.

It is so nice that the sun is out as I drive home. It is so pretty.

the forest through the trees in northern CA

South of Crescent City, CA

Today we drove home from Amy's Sister's place. It was a very nice drive filled with scenery like this. Once we got home, we un packed the cars, fed the cat and then went to celebrate my Birthday with a nice quiet dinner at Black Angus.

Waves of Oregon

Brookings, Oregon

I haven't been to this part of Oregon or Northern California for about 13 years. So Amy and I went for a drive today. We first went to a light house, then a campground. We saw surfers and the US Coast Guard at work before just getting an eventual taste for Oregon while we were there.

Church of Motor Cycles

Milwaukee, WI

Instead of going to church today, I went with my brother and his family to the Harley Davidson Museum. I was surprised by how well the museum was put together and organized. I walked away with a whole lot more info than I came in with. Also, I was happy to see it was kid friendly. They had a scavenger hunt for my niece (and for my brother for that matter). It was just a great trip.

Medi-Vac on Highway 4

Pittsburg, CA

I was on my way to Oakland to night when suddenly the freeway came to a dead stop. Over head we hear the CHP helicopter. As we are sitting there it flies in over head and lands right in front of us. A Ford Taurus station wagon had rolled over (I'm not sure how many times, but about the distance of 40 feet), and they were Medi-Vacing people out. It was quite the sight to see. In my 12 years of driving I have NEVER seen a copter land on a 5 lane freeway. Make sure you check out the beyond the cut pictures for more shots.
