World Trade Complex
This name is "grand" and reminded me of the World Trade Center in NYC and Hong Kong, all landmark buildings. Well, this was a pic of World Trade Complex in San Francisco.
It was just demolished last month as one of the construction projects along the Embarcadero water front. The projects were off and on. They were originally part of the plan for America's Cup (the top yacht race in the world) hosted by San Francisco in 2013 but not anymore. Another related project was the closure and rebuilding of the nearby lot I park every day I go to work. That's why I followed the development closely. It is the cheapest parking lot in the area. It will be missed when this happens. The latest rumor is that the Golden State Warriors want to built their new stadium on it! Here is the irony: all these plans (or abandoned ones) are related to Oracle and Larry Ellison. Oracle has a team participating in the America's Cup. And currently the Warriors play in a stadium that Oracle has the naming right.

Musician of the day: Norah Jones
I have listened to Norah Jones' music (who hasn't?) and I have of course listened to the great Sitarist Ravi Shankar. And I just found out Jones is Shankar's daughter. I guess musicianship does run in the family.
伸張正義&消費主義
今日國際勞動節連續做了兩件有點矛盾及諷刺性的事。Lunch break踩車去到Justin Herman plaza看看有無示威抗議活動，見到一班單車友整裝待發，並邀我加入聲援大遊行，支持弱勢社群，應當義不容辭，於是跟大隊浩浩蕩蕩踩到Westfield購物中心，有一大班該處員工支持工會活動，支持99%。
加入行列踩回Montgomery街，又有另一活動抗議1%：
有人在馬路塗鴉；
有人大合奏國際歌。
那裡有個熱狗檔，都是99%份子，生意好像特別好。
雖然我自稱良心份子，一樣不能免俗，對部份奢侈品及活動趨之若鶩，例如遊船河。本來就喜歡船的我，每當有郵輪停泊本市，都會特地去觀摩一番。今天就有一首相信是駛往Alaska的埋岸（也霸佔了一半我平日泊的廉價停車場，我被迫幫襯另一個較貴的）
