all aboard and all admire

Yesterday before work we visited the Conservatory of Flowers. Note
Claude the albino alligator who lives at the Academy of Sciences. Also
admire the blue sky, especially if you live in say, Chicago.
This is the model train exhibit and it's great fun indeed. Our Am Trak
to/fro Portland in '06 did not work as well as this one.
The bridge and the Port of SF ~ not to scale, as you may have noticed.
All buildings are made from recycled materials. Transamerica is
entirely constructed of computer keyboard letter keys.

Cable cars too ~ and not in traditional places. Artistic license.
Mah jong tiles and some inside-computer part thingies make up this
lovely gate to Chinatown.
