e_hup··on Milpitas BART Station to Open in December, VTA Says

It's a shame that all those Warm Springs signs went up a month or so ago and will have to be replaced shortly. I think when the new train cars come the lines will be referred to by color rather than destination, which will fix that problem.

e_hup··on Views of the Sea Floor Near the Entrance to San Francisco Bay

If this is interesting to you, you should definitely check out the Bay Model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Army_Corps_of_Engineers_B...). Its a scale model of the SF Bay and the Delta in Sausalito that was built by the Army Corps of Engineers. Its admission free!
