Next it was time to head north, so I made my way through airport security taking this risky picture
before renting this car in San Jose
and heading to the Hotel Avante in Mountain View to settle into my room with a sloping bed,
a limited closet door,
the best supplied desk I've ever
and an avant garde sink mounted on, not in, the counter.
Next, I walked down the street to the Indian restaurant where they served all of this food
and the bread
for about #5 which I why I'm happy in the self portrait
or maybe I knew I'd soon see the laser cut materials in the back of Jacobo's car
and be able to hold one of the new gaskets
as we headed off to the Laser Shop
where Jacobo marked the occasion but the proprietors were not home
so we went to see OtherChefRob
but I am not yet able to divulge the details of the secret project I observed there
but I was allowed to observe OtherChefRon's car and hear the details of its various demises
