Beautiful Buffalo, New York

My home town. 201 Walton Drive, Amherst, NY. 1977 to 1989. Once a booming industrial economy and 8th largest city in in 1900. Leading up to 1990 the city 's fortune took a turn and retracted to the same population as it did in 1900. Today Buffalo has about 300,000 residents. If you do go there you must go to Niagara Falls.

TREASURE ISLAND MUSIC FESTIVAL

Guess who? that's me standing in the crowd. What a trip. This was published in the San Francisco 7X7 magazine, a great read on local restaurants and events. With the beautiful city scape in the foreground and multiple stages of rocking bands, this is truly killer show.

The Doobie Brothers @ BR Cohn Winery Sonima, CAli

The owner of BR Cohn Winery was a longtime road manager for the famed Doobie Brothers. Annual fundraiser concerts are held at the winery in Sonoma California. The hillside vineyard amphitheatre is a great event for the summer.

MIDNIGHT MISSION

OBAMA Gets Caught Lookin

Looks like he's about to do some sort of gyrating dance move?

Lake Chabot Ride

Lake Chabot Regional Park in Castro Valley, California. I think the mountain trail is 15 miles and kicked my ass. We also continued through a night ride and road from Castro Valley towards the Oakland Zoo. The city lights were amazing and we encountered a friendly heard of cows. They are a lot bigger in the dark than the are in daylight from the other side of the fence.

Drakes Bay

Drakes Bay is absolutely awesome. Just follow HWY 101 North and head west towards Stinson Beach. The oyster filled waters and thick layer of fogg make this a kayakers heaven. Keep an eye out for bat rays with 5 foot wing spans.

I LOVE CRANES

ITS AN ANGEL!

Niger Trigger

Welcome to the tank! U batch! Within the first week this little bastard ate Mr. Strippers, my favorite coral banded shrimp that I have had for nearly three years and a few damsels. We will miss you shrimpers!:( Even though I lost a few friends, I now have a new one. He seems to be getting along with the rest of the tank and I don't see any more fishes getting wacked.

SUTRO BATHS - sweet scenic mile 49

Sweet Scenic Mile 49 found along San Francisco's 7x7 square mile border has the best hiking. My favorite section starts just south of the Golden Gate Bridge at Lincoln Park Golf Course at the 9th hole and wraps around the point to The Cliff House restaurant at the start of Ocean Beach. Plenty of parking at each end. Imaged is the ruins of the Sutro Baths built in 1896. At the time they were the worlds largest indoor swimming pool offering both fresh and salt water baths at different water temperatures. In 1966 the baths burned down and were abandoned.
