Overheard in the Oakland Airport Men's Room

I don't normally listen in on other conversations in the men's room, but I heard a couple of Southwest pilots talking about the Jenna Bush wedding. One of them then said this:

"You know, I had her on a flight awhile back. I flew her from Baltimore to Austin. She was seated next to an unaccompanied minor and she spent the entire flight helping him with his homework."

The other pilot added this:

"That kid will have a great story to tell."

Yes he will.

The flight home yesterday was a little bit late, but otherwise uneventful. I like Southwest's new boarding policy (at least it's new to me - I haven't flown them for awhile). It makes getting on the plane a lot less like a gang fight than it used to be.

I snapped a couple of shot from the plane as we headed south.

Here's the south San Francisco area as we climbed over the bay after leaving Oakland.

Candlestick Park, former home of the Giants and current home of the 49ers.

Here's the Big Sur area along the California coast. It's a beautiful area, but a wild drive down Highway 1.

Anacapa Island, part of the Channel Islands off the coast near Santa Barbara.
