On the road to San Francisco, you can see the local stuff...that makes America...America.

A gas station, Thursday, 3/23/06, on the bus route to Hayward, and San Francisco. A display of great "Americana".

Walk across a bridge

Our recent trip to San Francisco found us on a rainy walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. There were about 50 of us, and it was very drippy on the bridge walk of 1.7 miles . My daughter's high school band was in town to perform and visit the sights. We had a great time. More to come later...

Gonna go to San Francisco. It will be the first time since late 1970's.

I was just up in that area in the spring of last year (2005), but only near Santa Cruz/San Jose. It will great to see the big city again. Yes, we will be visiting "The Rock", Alcatraz.

Me, my daughter Marion, and her school band, all rolling north.

The ants are marching one by one...

Our house is under attack from 451 million ants...or maybe 452 million. This picture is from a game, but this here, in our house, is no game. It's full on war!

The Sr-71 Blackbird - You had to have been there, but this will help

They don't fly anymore, but oh...when they did! Even while powering up on the ground, they looked awesome!

You can still visit one of these awesome aircraft at a museum near you. Even in England, for you folks over there.
