Yerba Buena Free 4 All

Museum: a building or place where works of art, scientific specimens, or other objects of permanent value are kept and displayed.

I found out about a cool even on Saturday. The Yerba Buena Free 4 All. 12 Museums, 1 day, free admission. All in downtown SF. So, I took my son and we went.

We got going a little late, but manged to make it to the Cartoon Art Museum, The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and the Museum of Craft and Folk Art. Not sure if the Craft and Folk Art Museum is really worth a revisit or not, but the other museums were cool.

This was the best exhibit: Dark Matters: Artists See the Impossible
This one was the internet-eavesdropping installation Listening Post by Ben Rubin and Mark Hansen. It was thought . We didn't get to stay for too long because we got a late start, but this is the one I'd go back to see again.

Who is Horatio Caine?

Connections: associates, relations, acquaintances, or friends, esp. representing or having some influence or power.

I think Horatio Caine is just The Bomb. Why may you ask?

Cause the guy can do anything. The episode I watched last night on A&E (which network, by the way, does NOT seem to be about Art and Entertainment any more but more along the lines of Any Episode that produces ratings) hmmm... anyway, Season 3 Episode 26, titled 10-7, was a Very Good Example of the fact that if you work with Horatio, nothing is impossible.

MY synopsis of the Plot based on:
"Who is this Horatio Caine guy anyway?"

Bomb goes off killing people. Fingerprint is found on bloody knife. Delko tries to ID print and computer comes back with Print Identified but he can't access the database for the print. Delko exits stating that there must be some issue, leaving Horatio alone in the room.

Horatio logs on with his Super Secret ID and immediately is able to access Super Secret information that the print belongs to his brother Ray.

Horatio discusses situation with Super Secret Goverment Spy Guy. Horatio gets information from Spy Guy without volunteering anything in return and then tells Spy Guy that he will "clean up his mess." Spy Guy is left speechless.

Horatio then talks to Ray (somehow finding him instantly - how?) and finds out that Ray's son is being held hostage. Horatio helps Ray rescue his son and AT THE SAME TIME helps Ray to stage his own death so no one will be chasing him anymore. Horatio then assures everyone that Ray is dead, including Spy Guy and Ray's wife. Everyone believes him.

At the end of the show Horatio has SOMEHOW arranged for Ray, wife and son to fly off to Brazil in a Lear Jet!

Yes. Horatio Caine is Mega. Click here (warning: language) to see if YOU are as Mega as Horatio Caine. (Spoiler: You won't be. Nobody is. But you can try.)

Just in case you haven't heard enough - you too can Experience the Awesomeness that IS Horatio Caine.
