Wells Fargo Museum is Open -- May 17, 2014

The Wells Fargo History Museum in San Francisco closed last August for renovation.  It reopened on 28-March-2014.  I was able to visit today and enjoyed it immensely.  The beautiful Abbott Downing stagecoach still sits in the front window, but much has changed.  The skeleton stagecoach that people can sit in has moved downstairs.  There are more interactive exhibits.  I liked the telegraph key connected to a key in the Portland, Oregon museum.  Nobody responded when I tried it. 

I liked the display case with a model of a Clay Street Hill cable car and mementos of Andrew S Hallidie. 

Today after we took my mother grocery shopping we went downtown and parked at Fifth and Mission.  We walked up to the Irish Bank and had a nice lunch.  We stopped at Macy's on the way back to the garage. 

 

 

We came home and watched California Chrome win the Preakness. 

 

I took the photo of the Seabiscuit statue at Tanforan on 05-December-2011.  Seabiscuit was born and raised in Kentucky, but he had his greatest success while he was owned by Charles Howard, a San Francisco auto dealer.   

 

California Chrome Wins the Kentucky Derby -- May 4, 2014

Yesterday we were excited to watch California Chrome, a beautiful chestnut horse with white markings and a distinctive black mark on his blaze, win the Kentucky Derby.  He was the first horse bred in California to win since 1962.  He won by five lengths.  His owner lives in Yuba City.

Seabiscuit Pursues a Giant Reindeer #3 -- December 2, 2013

I took a day off today.  I took the new cat to see the vet and get her second feline distemper shot.  Everyone in the office had to come in and fuss over her. 

After I brought her home and sat with her for a bit, I went Christmas shopping.  I drove to Tanforan, where I took this photo.  I bought some kitten food and some gifts.  I went on to Hillsdale, had lunch at Panda Express, and did more shopping.  Then I drove over the hill to Half Moon Bay and did some more shopping at the pet goods store and Bay Books.

I took a day off today so my daughter and I went to Tanforan and did some Christmas shopping. We had lunch at Panda Express. Santa was not busy, so I had a nice chat with him and shook his hand. I took the photo today.

I had to work from home today. The cat is doing better. She started eating this morning. I took her to the vet for a follow-up blood sugar test.
