Raptors Seen: Cooper's (male adult), Red-Tail (western adult).
I thought the whole fog thing was supposed to be a San Francisco specialty, but we were fogged in today until 9 A.M. The daring duo walked to Balboa Park with our cooler of Bud and investigated the various museums. I'm going to say that the Science Museum should have been free courtesy of their corporate sponsors Sony, Qualcomm (sponsor of the city of San Diego and, damn, all this time I thought it was the U.S. Navy!), etcetera and so on. However, the tiny San Diego Gem and Mineral Society within the Spanish Art Village was a treasure, with some thoroughly enjoyable mineral specimens.

And the big spectacular wow-ser museum of the day had to be the Aerospace Museum. Perhaps we don't need paintings of every aviator and astronaut to "loose the surly bonds of earth" -- does it really matter what Wally Schirra, say, looked like? -- but the museum as a whole was overwhelming in its impact.

I'm about to go enjoy a fancy dinner in a classic red leather booth steakhouse of days gone by, having already enjoyed the wicked social hour at our hotel. Hmm. Come to think of it, I don't believe I've missed a social hour yet.
