New Caltrain trains

I missed my normal 6:59AM train this morning, but that's ok because I get to hop on a newer train. This "baby bullet" takes an hour and gets me to San Jose right after the earlier train. This newer train has nicer, cleaner(!!) seats and outlets to stay powered up the entire trip. That's good because my 3 year old MBP can barely make it an hour unless I turn the screen brightness all the way down. Anyway, have a great Friday!

Another positive of Caltrain

Drinking on the train is allowed! I've got a cold one in my hand right now (and another in my bag) to join in the drinking on Caltrain for the Dodgers @ Giants game commute up the peninsula. Not going to the game though... Just enjoying some cold beer on a really hot day! =•D

Giants and Caltrain

One of the few days I'm happy my commute is between San Francisco and San Jose: Days of Giants games! All the Giants fans crowd onto Caltrain to go to SF, but I board at the first stop, allowing me to grab a seat. All the stops after San Jose result in lots commuters and fans standing the whole way. Sucks to be them... Today anyway. Sucks to be me on non-game days. =•(

Oh, and I am feeling better now though (since my sneezing this morning). Looking forward to the movie tonight!

Capital of Silicon Valley

San Jose thinks it's the capital of Silicon Valley, but nearly everyone gets off Caltrain in Mt. View thanks to Google, Microsoft, and a bunch of other companies... Caltrain is so empty right now! (Currently between Mt. View and SJ stops)

On another note... I think I'm getting sick. Should have stayed in the Philippines!
