Oh – and the golden yellow of a fresh clear cell carcinoma in a kidney is pretty good, too.

Was going to compliment you on apocaplectic, which seems self-evident, but someone beat me to it. So, as requested, I’m just leaving a comment to say, I like this!

Examples of the the last include the cranes in the Port of Seattle, and the I-5 bridge.

The setting played a crucial role to my actually getting up and going, I think – in particular the cranes. See, the Port of Oakland is directly across the estuary from that beach

Also? I’d bet Bring Your Cello to Work Day comes with lots of bonus smalltalk: “I’d be happy to give you a lift. Normally there’s a ton of legroom, but today I’ve got the cello in the back.”

This post http://thrillingwonder.blogspot.com/2007/01/huge-floating-crane-lifts-bridges-and.html is about a large crane in Japan
