FANTASTIC! CONCERT BY NEIL YOUNG

I went to a fantastic Neil Young concert tonight at the Saenger Theatre in Mobile, Alabama.   It's a beautiful, old, historic place.  He puts on a great concert, but doesn't play long enough and is a little fussy about being recorded or photographed (security all over the place telling people not to use cameras).  This was the first time I have seen him - Great show!  Neil singing "Old Man" (audio only):

Battleship Memorial Park was a great place to visit.  It
not only had the USS Alabama, it also had memorials
for the Korean War and Vietnam War

 WAR MEMORIALS





 There were a lot of war planes in the park
 And,  this cool looking helicoper thing


 It was storming one second. . .
 . . . and cleared up the next


CALAMITY JANE  was among 170 B-52Ds manufactured by Boeing, and was equipped exclusively for long-range bombing missions.  Calamity Jane  has been demilitarized, but remains in the high camouflage used during Vietnam operations.
