So I've had access to a camera these last couple of days, now I just need to get the 4 rolls of film developed so you all can expect some post of pics I've taken from my hiking trip to some water falls and some weird abandoned coal mines and other odd structures.
Some pictures beneath the 520 floating bridge that crosses lake Washington and pictures from the roof top garden of my apartment. And the picture I'm most looking forward to of the very old adorable little french lady that lives in my building while she was sitting out in the garden enjoying the sun.
I'm Crossing my fingers that most of the pictures turn out since my brother bought a 600 dollar camera and never bothered to read the manual and couldn't find the manual, so I had very little use of all the setting this camera had, except for the obvious settings.
4 more days until school starts not including this weekend.
Stange true story.
In 1995 in France, a bride was arrested at her wedding reception when she stabbed her husband with the knife they had just used to cut their wedding cake.

looking forward to the pics of the weird coal mines and other things. i'm completely fascinated by those things, like abandoned tunnels or old railways... things like that. the black diamond mines up in antioch are pretty neat. been around the park there, but never taken the tour. i can feel the history of the place... i have on occasion sought out the old broadway high-level tunnel between oakland and contra costa. it was a 17-foot wide (IIRC) wood-lined tunnel stretching ~300 ft (again, IIRC) from old tunnel road/skyline (there's a nice little y-shaped turnout at the site, as well as an inconspicious plaque commemorating the old tunnel. the tunnel itself, if it still exists (which i doubt) would be obscured by brush and mound of dirt. the thing is, it shows up the thomas bros maps for the area. the eastern approach, however, is behind a fenced-off EBRPD compound, so there's no way of telling if that portal still exists.
also, there's supposed to be another tunnel, the redwood tunnel, in the hills somewhere (~1000 ft long, IIRC) that carried the old sacramento northern from contra costa side over to west of the hills. surprisingly, there's a dearth of information on either tunnel. i might have more luck, though, if check out the oakland history room at the oakland library main branch...
re the bad bride (sorry, couldn't think of clever rhyming name for her): did she kill the guy? i wonder if it was some sort of insanity thing...
