Wow! One worked. Here is my 1st driving experience. Unfortunately, my next door neighbor found out it was a bad idea to turn a 10 year old boy loose with his junkyard speedball. His junkyard had a round flat track, about 3/8 mile where and his son built and tested engines. He thought I was my 13 yr old brother. Bar went thru engine block

In the below linked video from last week, on a mid October morning the rising sun glowingly lights the sky above San Diego Harbor’s Marina as the ships moored there depart in the early morning dawn.
Sea Birds compliment the serene setting as they dart above the marina’s waters.

Talking Old-Time Photos Surprise Visitors at San Diego’s Old Town Mormon Battalion Visitors Center:
Heralded as the longest US army Infantry March in its history, those enlisted in The Spanish-American War’s Mormon Battalion marched some 2,000 miles from Fort Leavenworth Kansas to San Diego.
Once discharged in San Diego they contributed to both the building of San Diego’s Old Town including the building with bricks (itself a first) San Diego’s first court house there.
Before heading east to Salt Lake City to rejoin their families there, others stopped to help complete Sutter’s Mill and were instrumental in the discovery of gold there that set off the California Gold Rush of 1849.
At the Mormon Battalion Visitors Center in Old Town San Diego one can learn their story and see relics on display from that era including the muskets they were issued.
As one departs there is a gold panning sluice box from which visitors are welcome. Without charge, to try their luck gold panning.
