I wouldn't worry. The last eruption of Mt. Edgecumbe was in 2220 BC ±100 years, the others were around 3810 BC, and 7620 BC.

The mountain performs like a GOF. :laugh:

I was going to post a pic of Raquel Welch in 1 million B.C. but I got dinged the last time I posted something kind of racy! :smug:

You got me beat. I only saw it once. Was a great show, IIRC. That was a long time ago!

I saw Genesis at the Paramount in Seattle when "Selling England By the Pound" was released. There wasn't a big crowd but the whole band put on a fantastic show. Gosh, I went to so many concerts in Seattle in the 70's-80's and took them for granted. Today I consider myself blessed that I was able to go to shows when I was younger. There's hardly anything I'd make an effort to fly to Seattle to see today....

Onne of my young heroes is Peter Frampton. He announced that he has a muscular disease which means that eventually he will not be able to play like he did. He's doing his final tour this year. Unfortunately, he's not going to Seattle, where he has a huge following. I think he'll play in L.A. on the west coast but he's skipping Portland and Seattle. I think that's a slight to all his fans in those cities.

I would probably buy a ticket also for Eric Clapton. His last show we went to was unbelievable. This was before Billy Preston died. I almost felt like I died and went to heaven. The musicianship was astonishing, with Andy Fairweather Low and of course Nathan East (The Beast) on bass. Incredible show.

Nice. Happen to catch the Wimbledon match this morning? Easily as good as any I've seen in well over 50 years of watching them.

Today was Carey's birthday, so I relinquished the TV to her the entire day. We had an Incredible Dr. Pol marathon, then a Secrets of the Zoo marathon, and now The Aquarium binge watch. I will be soooo glad for this day to be over. Don't want to see another animal for a while! LOL

I offered to take her out but she opted to stay home and I made her an Omaha Steaks 1/4 lb cheeseburger and a salad. Then we had cake and ice cream for dessert. But she did reserve the right to collect on that dinner out at a time of her choice! For her birthday I got her a pair of Ruby and Diamond round earrings. We had a wonderful day together...

I’ve been watching Sports for nigh on 60 years now, so I know what a worn out old chestnut “left it ALL out there” on the pitch/court/ice/field

is...

I remember Pete Sampras puking on his shoes...prolly not at Wimbledon, as I’m sure ‘puking’ is not allowed there...prolly in Queens!

Surely today’s Gentlemans’ Final is the epicenter of “Left It All Out There”. :thumbsup:

Simply Stunning...

Yep. And if you puke in Flushing Meadows, does anyone notice?

Before I was born my dad was a sports writer in NYC. All five of his kids ended up being sports junkies in one way or another. I asked about Fenway because I used to live a couple of blocks away and occasionally I'd go score cheap late inning tickets and sneak into the box seats.

I saw Genesis a bunch of times with Peter. From their first US tour in the Spring of 1973 though the 1977 W&W tour (no Peter on that one, nor TOTT). Seven time altogether, 4 times with Peter.
