LOTD: Point Bonita
(from: http://www.ibiblio.org/lighthouse/ca.htm)
Point Bonita (2)
1877 (station established 1855). Active; focal plane 140 ft (43 m); white light occulted every 4 s. 33 ft (10 m) lantern mounted atop a 1-story brick fog signal building. The original 2nd order Fresnel lens is still in use. Building painted white, lantern black. Fog horn sounds two blasts every 30 s when needed. The original keeper's house has been demolished, but the original oil house (1877) and a second brick fog signal building (1903) survive. Several nearby houses, built in the 1960s as Coast Guard housing, are now occupied by park service staff, and in 2015 one was renovated for possible rental to the general public. In 1856 this was the site of the first fog signal on the U.S. West Coast, a cannon. The lantern and watch room were relocated from the 1855 lighthouse, making them among the oldest on the Pacific coast. Dana Smith has a closeup photo, Britten has some fine photos of this spectacular light station, the park service has a page for the lighthouse, Lighthouse Digest has Mary Hanley's article on its history, the Coast Guard has a 1955 historic photo, Marinas.com has aerial photos, Chris Romero has a street view, and Google has a satellite view. In 2007 the Coast Guard began the process of transfering ownership of this and four other area light stations to the National Park Service. In early 2011 the suspension bridge leading to the lighthouse was closed due to safety concerns. It was replaced in a $1 million project beginning in fall 2011 and access was restored in April 2012. In 2021 the lighthouse was closed "to allow for repairs and maintenance to the site." It should reopen in 2022. Located on a spectacular rocky point at the north entrance to the Golden Gate, about 2 miles (3 km) west of the Golden Gate Bridge. Accessible by a hike of about 1 mile (1.5 km) from the parking area; the hike includes a tunnel as well as the suspension bridge. Site open only on Saturday, Sunday and Monday afternoons (the tunnel is closed at other times), tower closed. The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy provides tours to the lighthouse. Operator: U.S. Coast Guard. Owner/site manager: U.S. National Park Service (Golden Gate National Recreation Area). . ARLHS USA-618; Admiralty G4052; USCG 6-0370.

“Aww, Mali! I’m blushing. But you know, I wouldn’t mind you showing me how much you value my body too,” she winked.

Does anyone need a personal assistant? Perhaps a loyal right-hand lady?
Emery L'amore is no stranger to hard work, in fact it seems like that's all she ever does. Behind her gentle gaze and tranquil smile is a brain that never stops mulling over the future and how to ensure a steady flow of money is padding her lofty bank account.
As tiring as her few friends may find such a line of thinking, it's been her mindset since her inception. To be Emery is to be ambitious, climb ladders, and win. Without that? Well, she'd still be boring Emmy Lim-Bronston. The mousy small town girl she had shed and left behind when she moved to the city, in desperate need of a brand new start. Emery doesn’t like to talk about her meager beginnings, quietly burying that past and all the embarrassment that came with being so unforgettable at one point in her life.
Just looking for a good enough paycheck to get her through university and a little excitement, Emery slowly worked her way up from hosting, serving drinks and flattering guests, to looking after one of the most affluent people she’s ever met - tending to any tasks they need completed. While it’s demanding and exhausting at times, Emery enjoys the work so long as her employer makes sure to take just as good care of her in return.
Her boss is often teased that by having Emery by their side, lady luck smiles down upon them — alluding to the way businesses tend to do better when Emery is around. She doesn't mind the joke too much, though it does undermine the hard work she puts into gathering useful information for her boss so she can better advise them if and when needed.
For the most part though, Emery still can't completely shake her wallflower tendencies, enjoying herself most when she can just watch other people. In part, it's kind of why she enjoys being a PA with little to no aspirations to someday usurp her boss. A larger part also just enjoys caring for people, and finds that her line of work provides her challenging opportunities to do so... even if it occasionally comes with uncouth whispers. Rumors of Emery seducing her boss are nothing new, and yet they always needle at her until her budding pride is sore. Why, oh why, can't people ever just see her for who she is? Why can't she, even as the graceful Emery, ever be good enough?
