California: A Far Southern Land of Rain and Curiosities
Here are some newly declassified images from FLOG and Mrs. FLOG's honeymooney forays into the exotic land of California. ("Killafornia," as it is called by indigenous south central tribes, is the world's 4th largest economy, a world leader in stem cell research, a pretender to rival Oregon's wines, and it is helmed by a large and eccentric Austrian. All in all, a hell of a place.)
Here is the tail end of a rainstorm clearing over Stinson Beach, in Marin County. This rainstorm was powerful enough to knock the power out for several hours. Which is to say, it was not that impressive, but it did take place in California.
Here's Mrs. FLOG walking the labyrinth on Grace Cathedral Hill in San Francisco. After this, we were both a little hungry, so we went to get a hot dog. Seriously.
This was the view from our room on the 33rd floor of the Grand Hyatt in San Francisco. The crazy thing is, the "windows" were actually fully functioning sliding doors. Oh, the fun we could've had with a pack of super balls.

A pretty lily on a rainy, windy night.
Looking straight downhill at the edge of Point Reyes.
Point Reyes -- Sandstone and conglomerate topped by a dollop of concrete and garnished with flowers. Delicious.
Alright, reader, a challenge for you. What the hell is this?
I do believe it's a pimple on the world's arse.

Chris Ricci: Do you mean California, or that thing in the last picture?
Chris Ricci, allegedly: You do realize that may be defamatory? FLOG disclaims any part in it!
