Brighten Up a Gray Day

School's out for summer. So we rode the tandem today, even though it's not the weekend. And not sunny and warm. In fact, our famous June Gloom is in full force. See my Marine Layer blog for details.


Perhaps because it is a Friday just before the weekend, we found four cars at the recharging station in Liberty Station's parking lot. That's three more than I've ever seen before. Too bad the Car2Go users couldn't fit in the space marked out for them! But there was still room for the Tesla to back in.


We're wearing our high-visibility orange shirts today - matching gear for the tandem. You can see the tiny reflective patch on the top, near my helmet strap. Maybe a slightly larger area of reflective material would be in order (on my wife's back) if we were riding in the dark. But in the daytime, we can be seen from a long way off ...


Here she's inspecting a very nice little garden on the dividing line between civilian land and the US military base at the end of Rosecrans. The flowers match her shirt.



MUSTANG CONVERTIBLES

On the way home we spotted our fourth Mustang Convertible of the day - the only one not moving - and captured it successfully on film (well, got some pixels).
