IMAGES IN AND AROUND SAN FRANSISCO 1984 AND 1985

I have not overlooked putting images into my posts for this period of our journey. The problem is that we had been in Japan and I had bought a state of the art Video recorder there. It became an obsession with me. I had that camera with me 24 hours a day and filmed everything I was allowed (and some of the things I was not allowed). So much of our time and experiences was caught on tape rather than in photos. Over time I accumulated 75 videos of our journey.

If I ever figure out how to get them into my blog, you are going to see 70 of them (the others I’m not allowed to show, hehehe). My camera was now replaced by this machine that the girls got to hate even more than the camera. They never knew when I was filming because it made no sound. Sometimes I just slipped it under a blanket, or behind a bag and just filmed happily away. In any event, I am going to try and show some sights from around San Fransisco and the Bay Area, 1984 and 1985.

    Hey Jimbo…you left out the part about the “Frisco Rocket” a.k.a. “Jimbo The Blade Runner”, the fastest business exec to ever strap on a pair of in-line roller blades. Did you ever pay those speeding and red light violation tickets? I had tried to interest the Guinness Record scouts but they claimed they would have to create a separate category as no one else could match your initiative.
    Anyway, the legend probably still remains and the streets of SanFrancisco are a lot less exciting than when you ‘went for the gold’ at that wait light but the cops threw out the stop sticks and you donated all that road-rash skin. They probably have a plaque at that spot now and tourists still get their pictures taken there. You’re a legend “Jimbo”, a bloody legend !

    Cheers,
    Clif
