How I spent 4/20

Here are a few pics of the Belvedere Tailgate held in the Oakland Coliseum parking lot.

(so sorry corporate sponsor, it will always be the Oakland Coliseum)

Phil and Katherine arrive in style.

I really thought I would look back on this afternoon as "The day Jim went to the hospital".

The "green" barbeque.

'Waste not the empty keg' thought Adrian, so he made himself a barbeque out of it. Gore would be proud.

Phil has a bunch more (better) pics here...

George Ellery Hale was the twentieth century’s most important builder of telescopes. In 1897, Hale built a 40-inch-wide telescope, the largest ever built at that time. His second telescope, with a 60-inch lens, was set up in 1917 and took 14 years to build. During that time, Hale became convinced that he suffered from "Americanitis a disorder in which the ambitions of Americans drive them insane. During the building of his lens, Hale spent time in a sanatorium, and would only discuss his plans for the telescope with a "sympathetic green elf."
