I don't remember leaving my bike up there??

This past weekend I was in Sacremento for the Joint Propulsion Conference where I presented my work on low specific impulse Hall thrusters. I had purposely delayed my flight back home by a few days so that I could tour Sacramento. Turns out, Sacremento is REALLY boring. So I hopped on the Amtrak towards San Francisco where I met up with Robin and Grant. When we 'attempted' to leave the San Francisco Brewery I found my bike had been elevated 8 feet by store gate that I had locked it to! It took me about 20 minutes to get it unlocked and lowered down (climbing skills put to good use). The back half of the kryptonite lock was the most difficult. The next day the three of us ate at a semi-traditional Indian restaurant. I'm generally partial to meat, but these guys can cook up some awesome vegetables. San Francisco was awesome, two thumbs up. As for Sacremento.. leave it to Schwarzenegger

Superman Returns ??
Anybody else seen this movie yet? I was appalled at the lack of morality in the choice of a plot for this film. The entire movie plays as soap opera episode. I'll try to speak in ambiguities to avoid ruining the film. The end of the flick was the only chance where the movie had the opportunity for damage control and tie up its scandalous loose ends but failed to do so, I presume, for the opportunity for a sequel. Superman is iconic representation of truth, justice and morality, and this film destroys his principles and makes him less honorable than the average person watching the movie!! Lois Lane isn't much better either. I'll cite specifics in the comments section and welcome you to do so as well.
