Blast from the Past...

Mike Gilbert at Bayside Cannery, Alviso

Alviso is a tiny neighborhood with a big history. It's just 5 minutes from our office, so we go there a lot for mexican lunches. Here, my buddy Mike poses in front of the former site of the Bayside Cannery. At one time, the Bayside Cannery was the third biggest in the world.

Pork + Tofu + Spice = Yeah!

Pelican, Pelican, No one can like Peli can!

Brown Pelican on Pier, Chrissy Field, San Francisco

One of my three favorite birds (hummingbirds and kingfishers round out the list), I'm always thrilled when I get to see pelicans.

This one was very comfortable around people. He hung out on the pier with fisherman, hoping for a handout.
