9:45 AM � jessm and KT are at a coffee shop called Java Rama Coffee House in Alameda, yeah wireless internets. the girls sitting next to us are clearly studying for the AP US test. One said �I didn�t really get the whole cold war thing, could you explain it� so the other one is explaining the cold war to the other. The cold war in 5 minutes, a summary. Hilarious.

10:30 AM� jessm and KT are at Albert�s Caf� in Alameda and our approximately 70 year old waitress is wearing a bedazzled and bejeweled Harley Davidson tank top with a mini denim skirt and a black apron with blue flames swirling all over it. The best part is probably her hair which is florescent yellow, florescent orange, florescent blue, florescent green in no particular order or pattern with a florescent purple stripe down the middle. We speculate that this might have been a mohawk at one time.

12:00 PM � jessm and KT are continuing day two of inventorying the boat. Hilarious things we have found so far: * Christmas lights
* pirate sword
* nylon butt connectors
* butt splicers

5:23 PM � I pass an different old man wearing a sloggin and dusting his Mercedes with a giant fluffy duster while smoking a large wooden pipe.

4:17 PM � there is a live DJ in the juniors department of the San Francisco Macy�s, this Macy�s also has 2 buildings, one for women�s clothing and shoes and one for men�s across the street. This is pretty inconvenient if you ask me but you have limited space in the city I suppose. Also it is annoyingly heteronormitive.

6:25 PM � we are at this shoe store and they lady who is helping us in the basement is hilarious. When she asked us if we needed any help and we said no thank you she said in a sarcastic and fake nice voice, �well I am glad I could help you with your purchases today!� as we rode the escalator back up to the main level.

7:00 PM � Pass an old man carrying a bright pink toy bunny. This is hilarious because he and his comrade pretty much look like they are going to a monster truck show.

7:15 PM � �I put stickers on my guitar case and buttons on my bag� � KT

7:19 PM � �I know everything about Pig and Whistle� � Hollywood

*captain�s note: there seems to be numerous pig and whistles or pig n whistles all over the country, with notable locations in Hollywood, CA, New York, NY, New York, NY, Seattle, WA, and Memphis, TN

7:20 PM � �what�s a columbarium?� � KT

8:00 PM � Haight St

8:30 PM � Kan Zaman Caf� where your Arabian dining dreams come true

10:15 PM � really nice man at the airport check in let my bag go for free even though it is 55 lbs. way to be.

11:58 PM � There are these ladies peering out the windows. There is one glass door and they keep leaning on the door and setting off the alarm and the dude behind the counter keeps yelling �keep away from that door� and the ladies excuse every time is �sorry we are trying to watch our dogs�

11 May 2008

12:09 AM � Luckily it looks like there are going to be about 6 babies on this flight

12:27 AM � the flight is delayed because �something leaked� into first class and they are trying to �clean it up�

Central Standard Time

6:00 AM � Dallas airport, I did not get any sleep on account of the six babies

8:24 AM � boarding, there is a dog on a suitcase barking a lot

10:34 AM � the dog is still barking

Eastern Standard Time

11:48 AM � the dog barked the whole time, still no sleep. Landed in Cleveland. Thank God and Jesus for green plants and infrastructure.

This is Captain Jessica Signing Off
