Day #4 in SF California

I'm not believing that I was sick and the wife wouldn't let me go outside (my personal healthcare attendant) in the wind so I could get well. I did venture down to the Mermaid for brunch, across the street to enquire at the maritime bookstore @ pirates and/or U.S. Lifesaving service. Sorry, says the 2 employees occupied with a Matt damon movie on a mini-DVD player. So I found two incredible finds myself. One on the Outer Banks Lifesaving crew, all black, that were some of the most courageous the Service ever saw. Also a book by a Harvard undergrad who signed on as a common seaman on a boat going 'round the Horn to CA. Cured his eyesight.

I s'pose I get more travelling in from a good book than dashing from tourist jaunt-to-jaunt.

Sour grapes.
