Once again the Captain set out on a mythical voyage to reunite with the Commander. Our goal was the Bay Bridge, where we would walk the new bike/ped trail that runs parallel to the new bridge so we could see what was left of the old one. After the initial adventure of finding the trail head we embarked on to the trail itself, along with another comrade in exploration!

Ahoy!

     The trail itself was slightly uphill and we were walking into the wind for the first half of our trip, but we would not be turned back. We originally wanted to walk all the way to Treasure Island, a destination for any true pirate, but alas, the trail does not extend that far-yet. We walked 6.2 miles, that's ten kilometers for everyone outside the United States, and regaled in the vistas of the old bridge in it's post apocalyptic state.

Apocalypse Now!

     After we hit the open road again our next stop was for some good old fashioned gruel. We were all slightly famished and in the mood for burgers. We ate at the local Smash Burger and I was surprised at how much better the food was here than the one in Folsom. the Commander clued me into the fact it's because if you serve shitty food in SF you quickly go out of business, you have to be better. Afterwards we promptly retired to the Commander's Lair where much hilarity ensued. We imbibed the routines of Patton Oswalt and Jim Jefferies, with a side of the new season of Archer. The Commander cooked up a devilishly delicious dinner consisting of basil and tomato pizza with homemade garlic bread topped with freshly shredded parmesan cheese. There's only one more thing to say about an excursion like this:

     Now, for what no one's been waiting for! This week's selfie! Taken on the new Bay Bridge Trail, juxtaposing two eras, or some such thing that makes blatant vanity appear to be highly philosophical and insightful.

That's all for this week, so until next time I leave you with some words of wisdom I heard this weekend,
