Programming note: This afternoon, I will be concluding my visit to northern California by visiting Oakland to watch the Athletics host the Atlanta Braves at the Oakland Coliseum. A preview of the game can be accessed here.

Having managed to begin and end my visit to California with Major League Baseball games (sandwiched between my visit to the Ninth Circuit‘s headquarters), tomorrow I will be heading home. Regular blogging will resume on Wednesday, with occasional updates appearing between now and then. As always while I am traveling, more frequent appellate-related retweets will appear on this blog’s twitter feed.
