my old friend, rust

I think it's absolutely beautiful, with such a vibrant and earthy color. Chemical processes, spewing hot shades of orange -- you've got to wonder.

And of course, one of my favorite places for rust is China Camp, on the peaceful banks of San Pablo Bay.

I think 7-UP was probably Coca-Cola's largest competition before Pepsi came along. 7-UP was the "un-cola", and the advertising firms undoubtedly spent fortunes on their campaigns.

And after a tall rusty bottle of 7-UP it's nice to know that if I need to visit the rusty facilities, I certainly can, but probably won't.

Come back tomorrow and we'll flush it all away with the ripples and reflections of our old favorite -- the Lagunitas Creek.
