Terry , I trust that your recovery is going well and I am glad of that . I hope that you are recovering well .

I agree that our personal experiences pave our road to writing our own users manuals . I keep adding new chapters and supplements to mine . The index often needs updating so that I can get to the related issues quickly. I can totally relate to your story of walking in open spaces and now it's all changed and gone and not always for the better . However my friend we can tell others about it now and how it once was .

Hello everybody !
I went to the Ocean Beach, Cliff House/ Old Playland At The Beach and the Golden Gate Park areas in San Francisco on my Birthday. I am drawn to those areas in San Francisco because I spent my youth there, The Ocean Beach area has changed quite a bit. I remember Play Land , it was an amusement park complete with roller coaster ,A Fun House with scary laughing mechanical people and lots of other stuff. I remember the site where Chet Helms had The Family Dog. I went there many times and saw many great musical acts as a teen ager . It was all in my neighborhood and Old Stomping Ground ! Now it's all Condos and nothing. However I was really delighted to see many Ravens there on my Birthday ! Really Ravens !

( it is difficult to find footage from The Family Dog ; I am still looking for The Greatful Dead and Quick Silver there on You Tube to share )

Happy belated birthday, Wolf!

Pi day is a great day to have a birthday on. I'm not a mathematician by trade, nor am I into numerology, but things like Pi and especially the fibonnaci sequence fascinate me. Love finding examples of the Fibonnaci or Golden Spiral in nature!!

Thanks Toby ! I saw these two old bicycles during a " Walk in the Park " by the restored Old Windmill by the Wilhelmina Garden

Wolf; the Santana video was great!

And I'm enjoying reading the rock archaeology thread.

Wow Wolf, sounds like a great way to spend the day! It was warm to hot over here in the east bay - actually, I was way out in the Delta in Walnut Grove through the early afternoon - got lost in the winding levee roads on the way back though - I stopped when I had 8 more miles to go on an unpaved road!

We should definitely get together and jam sometime - meeting once a year at the Gathering isn't enough! My rig is kind of up and running - hit a snag when my drummer suddenly left, but wouldn't take too much effort to maintain my pedalboard in playable condition.

Dave , I am glad you like it . Santana's percussionists were wonderful and later all had many other noteworthy involvements.

Harry , sounds good. We should talk about it some more soon . I have some ideas .
