Task: fake navy tattoos for Shades of Blues Navy Night
Difficulty: drawing them upside-down on my own arm, one of them left-handed

I think they turned out all right.

Left-handed:


I dared not draw a human form left-handed:

This past weekend, the Bay Bridge was closed so that they could slice a piece off and replace it, allowing them to hook in the new East span. That won't be done for years, still, but they actually got the replacement in during the very first day of the closure! I guess the rest was reinforcement and rerouting at the Yerba Buena tunnel itself.

There's a time lapse video of it up on YouTube. Most of the action happens in the first 90 seconds, so you needn't watch the whole thing. That 90 seconds is pretty cool, though--huge blocks of concrete just slide right into place.
