The first time I saw Anthrax was in 1987. They played with Metal Church who still had David Wayne on vocals. The only difference in band members in Anthrax, from that night over 25 years ago and this past Friday night, was Rob Caggiano (on the left of today’s photo) instead of Dan Spitz. The song while I took this pic? Caught in a Mosh
Eleven years ago today I arrived at the Medford, Oregon airport just moments after Flight 11 crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City. I was supposed to be flying to San Jose, California that morning, but my flight was cancelled, and some planes in the air between west coast cities were landing in Medford rather than their scheduled destinations.
At the 9/11 Memorial, which we visited in June, the names of the 87 victims of Flight 11 are inscribed around one of the two memorial pools.
Last weekend we headed to California and hung out at Kellogg Beach just north of Crescent City. The weather was fantastic. Crescent City (to the south) and Brookings (Oregon to the north) were enveloped in fog, but this empty beach in the Pelican Bay area was empty and completely blue sky for the few hours we were there.
May he live another 69 years and continue to put on the most amazing shows the world has ever seen.
We did a little hiking in the mountains near Mt. Shasta in California this past weekend. In today’s photo (covering about 180 degrees) you can see Castle Lake, Heart Lake (lower left corner partially obscured by trees), Black Butte, and (on the far right) Castle Crags.
Today’s panorama photo is a photomerge of 11 pictures I took from the Brooklyn Bridge. The result you see above covers more than 200 degrees and includes Manhattan on the far left, the Manhattan Bridge straight ahead, and Brooklyn on the far right. If you look closely you can see a helicopter, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and the new World Trade Center Buildings (under construction). Unfortunately, you cannot see the Geico Gecko.
