That's the world famous Transamerica Building there on the right.
I'm struck by how dead the airport is. There's like, seriously, no one here.
The Immigration official who checked my passport was stunned to find out I had to come all the way back to the U.S. in order to be able to go all the way back to Russia. He went through this litany of, "Did you try...?" and "Well how about if you were to..." and "I'm sure the way to do it is..." No, no, no, no, no, sir. No. I tried and how-abouted and way-to-do-it'd my ass of. Actually, Julia Klimenko, the very great and beautiful Julia Klimenko tried everything that could possibly be tried. I even suggested she run for a seat in the Duma and change the Russian laws before I had to embark on this nutty expedition. So yes, Officer, we tried everything.
That's the world famous Coit Tower there on the left. It sits on an airport support pillar and on Telegraph Hill downtown. Coit Tower is a monument to firefighters. Which is why the top of the tower is supposed to resemble the nozzle of a fire hose. If you say so.
