At the San Diego airport they occasionally played a recording that wheeled gizmos were prohibited– bikes, scooters, hoverboards, wheely shoes. I was like “who the hell rides a scooter in the airport?”
Guess the first thing I saw coming off the jetway at PDX
Okay, San Diego has been very, astoundingly good to me in the last 24 hours, I know where I’m using these Alaska miles next.
Okay, weird callback, I was stumbling a bit (also my eyes get worse at steadicamming the more I walk, which they hadn’t for months, that was def. Omicron last week) and the girl boarding me suspiciously asked if I had been drinking then the gate agent who couldn’t help me yesterday came over to say she recognized me and I was just like that.
Multiple brands of vending machine phone rechargers around town, never seen that before.
Well, the flight back to Portland boards at 8 and the San Diego airport seems easy. Gotta factor in time to hector Alaska into paying for my hotel (unfortunately, I don’t think they’d care that much I was spreading the tale of being done dirty on tumblr, and too much pride to make that my first original tweet) but I have the better part of a day to kill. What is there to do in San Diego? Museums? I hear the zoo is good.
Japanese-American Friendship Garden, pinball bar, and parking lot blowjob from a cute blasian girl, did anyone have that? Just me?
(Boarding is 8:40)
Hillcrest a little tryhard as a gayborhood.
Shame everyone has electronics in their pocket now, this looks fun to prance in.
Weird biblical displays with a sign disclaiming responsibility on behalf of the city, while an organ plays a tune that sounds half-Catholic, half-circus
Less feature-dense but bigger and frankly better Japanese garden than Portland’s, tbh. Ton of people wearing masks outdoors, tho.
Everywhere has military discounts here but not too much.
Huh, northern Mexican Spanish accents here. In LA it was southern.
Jesus, these buses have shitty transfers, though.
Also, the bill acceptors are utter shit.
Jesus, these buses have shitty transfers, though.
Shit, some nice residential towers downtown.
Remember when I said the West Coast has two of the best harbors in the world in San Diego and the SF Bay and fuck all else? (LA is an artificial breakwater)
Yeah.
So I’ve got a date to Balboa Park.
San Diego putting in an amazing showing for itself.
Hotel operating at like 15% food service capacity, which I’m sure they’re passing off as a pandemic thing but is def. the job market
