Authentic Voodoo Doughnuts Line

On my trip to Portland last month, we decided we had to make one stop at Voodoo Doughnuts. It was suggested that we check out the secondary location out in the suburbs to avoid the crowds at the downtown location.

We got the authentic experience anyway.

Bonus: The twenty-somethings in line behind us were singing Les Mis.

Downtown San Diego’s nighttime skyline, seen from Harbor Island across the bay to the west. You can see the light trails from a couple of boats. The yellowish sky is the reflection of street lights on low-lying clouds. I have a wider shot that shows how much darker the sky is away from the city.

This was taken during last year’s Comic-Con. I figured I’d post it this week because the first round of hotel rooms go on sale this Wednesday. These are non-refundable, outside of downtown, and in some cases specific packages with minimum stays, but if you already have tickets and want to avoid the “Hoteloween” rush when the rest of the rooms go on sale, it might be worth taking a look.

Either way, you might be interested in my collection of Tips for Comic-Con.

I went for a walk at lunch, and this was just sitting there taking up a zillion parking spaces. And no license plate to take down. Anyone recognize this vehicle?

And the spaces clearly say “compact.” On what planet is *that* a compact car?

And how brazen! Emblazoning the USA logo on its side too! What’s that blue dot there…
