My parents were in town so we spent our first night away from the baby and had a fun time in Laguna Beach. I brought one of my old film cameras (a Minolta X-700) along with me and took a few fun snaps.
Also met the cockroaches on Green Street in Worcester.
Worcester was a happening place in the early eighties.

Stones agreed to 'secret' club gig
In the fall of 1981, Rob Barnett was the music director for WAAF 107.3 FM. It was Barnett who made the proposal to the Stones to play a “secret” (and free) club gig. It would be presented by the radio station. The proposal was so crazy that somehow Mick Jagger and the Stones agreed to it.
A few nights earlier, Ian “Stu” Stewart, the Rolling Stones’ road manager and pianist, arranged a meeting at the Paxton Inn to hammer out details for what would become Worcester’s proudest rock ‘n’ roll moment and “one of the best radio station promotions ever,” Barnett said.
Jagger wanted the Stones to play in a small club before they went on tour. After Stewart surveyed local venues, the backdoor leading to the stage at Sir Morgan’s Cove sealed the deal, while the Union Jack outside the building’s front didn’t hurt matters either.
In his memoirs “Diary of a Studio Owner,” the late Gil Markle, owner of Long View Farm Studio, stressed the importance of the Stones gig at Sir Morgan’s Cove to Jagger.

it was a hectic night
but I was young and in college
.
I was at JFK stadium in Philadelphia with 100k+ people in 1976 to see the Stones when I was a freshman in college. Carlos Santana and Foreigner were the opening acts. I don’t remember too much but I’ll never forget how many beer cans I saw piled up after the concert.
When I was on the USS Ranger in 1979, we had a Collision with an oil tanker and these are some of the pictures after the incident at sea.
Damage to the bow after the collision
The new part of the bow waiting to be welded in place.
Close-up view of the damage
A view of the bow that had to be removed so that the new replacement could be intalled
This is what was removed - the damaged area ws filled with cement In the Philippines prior to the trip to the repai facility/drydock in Japan.

Tarp ghetto, ready for the morning rainstorm at Hanging Rock SP—piedmont N.Carolina 20 years ago.
Ghetto in a RV ghetto, they think that we are from the Kuiper Belt.
I picked this up a few weeks ago raw. I didn't think it was too bad for the year and mint. It's a little darker than the photo shows.
