Monday: An eclipse.

It wasn't total in Alameda, and the clouds made it look a lot like it wouldn't be visible, but that turned out not to be the case:
Although there were no shadows, and the eclipse filters didn't show anything, the clouds acted as a fairly decent filter for the eclipse.
 I was kind of surprised that it came out so well.
Nicely visible above the neighboring building.

Later on, through the not-so-clean hallway window.
 Today was also Ramona's first day of school.
I never went to a school with this right behind the back doors.
After picking her up, it was conveniently close to lunch time.

Delicious Monte Cristo for lunch.
 But all things end, so it was time to catch the BART to the airport.
Switching over at UN/Civic Center station as Julie was heading to work.
SFO was easy to deal with, as I was early, and pre-check is a good thing.  It's unfortunate that I was the only one listening to the RWBY soundtrack, as that probably would have helped everyone else not be so slow about everything.
Also, Mareep.
The flight was fine.  Bringing youtube videos to watch is easily the best strategy for dealing with ~6 hour flights.
