On the Way to San Francisco

On my way to San Francisco for the Portland Timbers vs San Jose Earthquakes, I spotted this finely decked out jet taxiing for a takeoff.

My flight had free on-board wifi. It turns out that my phone really sucks down battery when it is using a spotty wifi signal. At least I got off a few requisite “I’m messaging you from a plane” instant messages.

The airport train at SFO is automated.  I stood in the forward end of the front car and watched the tracks pass underneath.  Hopefully the machines don’t get angry one day and send the train off the tracks.
