Flu shot yesterday. Visual migraine today. Quick check of records shows no past correlation, so chalking it up to stress & sleep debt.
Palm Tree Alley
The walkway between the Hilton Anaheim and the Anaheim Convention Center. The blocky wall to the right is a large area full of staircases at one end of the convention center.
Taken this past April, during Anaheim Comic Con. The convention center was also host to a much larger coffee convention.

Yerba Buena Gardens
Looking north across the park on a spring afternoon during WonderCon 2010. It rained most of the weekend, but the one day we were (mostly) indoors was the one day that the sun came out.
The tiered building to the left is the Marriott Marquis, the convention hotel. The church across the way is St. Patrick’s. The tall building behind it is the Four Seasons hotel.

Prop 8 “fails to advance any rational basis…”
Republican-appointed judge overturns government restriction on personal freedom. Shouldn’t conservatives be happier about this?

I like this quote from the judge, saying that Prop 8 “fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples. … Because Proposition 8 prevents California from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide marriages on an equal basis, the court concludes that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.”
