Strange Creature Sighted At The Berkeley Marina, California

Biggi — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 23:06:15 +0000

I have to admit, I never feel as alive or inspired as I do when I get in touch with nature. So, on a beautiful day like this, I head out to the Berkeley Marina, which is only about 5 minutes from my home.

The Marina has got it all – a large variety of wildlife, gorgeous skies, and water, aside from often amazing views of the City of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. What more could a girl ask for?

Being a marina, it’s oftentimes a very windy place which attracts people of all ages to bring out their amazing kites. Every year in July there is the annual Berkeley Kite Festival which draws thousands of people and is quite amazing.

So here’s that strange creature I sighted in the sky today. It’s rather confusing as it looks a bit like an octopus but it’s flying in the sky. I think it must be a new species. Do you have any idea? Have you ever seen something like this before? It looked rather friendly, so I wasn’t afraid in spite of its enormous size.

I enjoyed a brisk walk and taking many pictures. Today was an absolutely perfect day including the sun, temperature, breeze, and sky.

I hope to post some more experiences and especially pictures from the Berkeley Marina in the near future. In the meantime make sure you visit the Berkeley Marina when and if you are in the area!

Adding new WordPress plugins to my main site today. Configuring, testing, and just having fun with it. The possibilities are endless. #
@paidbytheweb I’d suggest using the WordPress Automatic Update plugin (WPAU), rather than upgrading manually. Worked on 4 diff. blogs for me #
@paidbytheweb Hmm, are you sure you ftped them to the right place – wp-content/plugins/[plugin_folder]/[plugin_php_file] ? #wordpress in reply to paidbytheweb #

@Astrogirl426 Yes, your theme customizations will be preserved. A WP upgrade doesn’t change anything in your theme directory. #

Instead of caffeine, try a quick 20 minute workout in the afternoon to provide the energy for the second half of the day. Whew. Feels good! #
The horrific experience I just had with my blender AND my mixer not working can not be described in 140 characters. #
Let’s just say it ruined all the effects of my workout and cost me half an hour time. I am pissed! Got to clean up now… #
Well, the good news is that my b-day is in a month from today. So if someone wants to give me a blender, DM for my address. #
