Virginia Beach… Very Hot!
Drone foto by Jorma Kaukonen
To say it was hot in Virginia Beach yesterday would be an understatement. That said, we had a day off, a chance to go to the beach and a barbecue in the parking lot of the hotel. At the gig, Ross and I both got to fly our drones.

Interim Report From The Fur Peace Ranch, Let There Be Pho!

Aside from the more than delicious food options, tomorrow’s ...
