Seat 6F on SWA; very nice. You must have been one of the first to board?

That is also an unusually clear picture for having been taken through the window of a modern passenger jet; so often, those windows are pitted and scratched and streaked and scarred and the resulting picture is mildly (at least) non-distinct.

(And "Pitted, Scratched, Streaked, & Scarred" is a possibly good name for a local brewery to consider using.)

The windows were crystal clear on both my flights, perfect for taking pictures even using my point-and-shoot. Southwest's planes have a new paint job/logo as part of the branding makeover, maybe new windows were part of that? I can tell you that it made for some great sightseeing. Speaking of local breweries, did you know San Diego county is one of the top beer cities in the USA? I think my favorite local offering is Ballast Point Brewery's Big Eye IPA.

Interesting. Two different chaps from the Biscuit family dueling with one another to have their say.

Oops, forgot to delete one of them. Well, I'd better leave the duplicate there, otherwise your comment will look a little odd. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
By the way, (going wildly off topic here) I got a laugh reading some recent reviews of Macca's charity show in a small venue in San Antonio.
Commenting about the venue, he said he felt like he should be doing Shakespeare and quoted a line from Hamlet ("Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would melt...") The press made a big deal of his reciting the line,apparently unaware that he left off the final word..
ZAP!

The press was too busy thawing and resolving itself into a dewey bit of fawning excitement.
