The guy who lives across the street from me has one of those.
Him and a bunch of his friends used to get out in the evenings and mess around
with it. It looked like a lot of fun, but I never had the nerve to ask if I
could give it a try ... afraid I'd break something, and I don't mean the board.
And then Corona Virus came along and screwed everything up.

Float Addicts is a combined sales/rental outlet and clubhouse for "One Wheel"
roller boards. (See http://www.onewheel.com for details..) There is almost always a small
gang of onewheelers hanging out there in the late afternoon/early evenings (at least
there are in non-lockdown times). One of these days, I'm going to rent one and go find a
nice grassy field to learn how to ride and control one of these things. They look like
tremendous fun, a road-going, electric snowboard … and a good workout too. But I won't
try to learn to ride one on pavement... :)
I go to Japan Town for Mexican food because Taqueria Corona has really good
food and the people there are great… But I also go to the excellent Japanese
and Korean restaurants there, as well as Roy's Station (one of my favorite
cafes). My favorite Japanese restaurant, however, is Truya Sushi—just a mile or
two up the road in Santa Clara near me.

Nice series, especially "They Watch The Corner." What exactly does Float
Addicts sell.
I don't understand why you go to Japan Town for Mexican food when they have
such really good Japanese (and Korean) food there!

My routine on Wednesday evenings for some months now has been to go to the
Japan town district in San Jose and pick up takeout Mexican food for dinner
or eat in the outdoor dining area when that's been available (and it's warm
enough!). Every time I've been there as the sun went down and the lights
came up, I've said to myself, "I've got to get down here with a camera..."
So last Wednesday, I drove down just before sunset. Well, I thought it
would be just before sunset, but I was delayed and the sun had already set
... I was going to be testing out the custom grip I rigged up for the
camera, but thankfully I had my PD Travel Tripod with me. :D
I only had time for a shortish walk, about a half hour or so, but I can
see I need to go do this a few more times. Here are ten photos, all with
the Hasselblad 907x and 21mm lens at about ISO 1600 and about f/5.6-f/6.8
... I hope you enjoy them!
