We used to go to Mammoth every year, in the summer when it was cheap. Nice crisp air in the morning, never got too hot. The kids enjoyed the volcanic rocks. And we'd usually work in a trip to Bodie.Bonnibel wrote: Fri Feb 18, 2022 5:44 pm Quick trip to shore today!

And congratulations to Al Sisti on being the Grand Marshall of the Utica New York (AEIOUY) St. Patrick's Day Parade.
And he is not just a pretty face. Here is the writeup in the Utica paper. A very well deserved honor
Alex Sisti, described as a key figure in the opening of the Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley, was announced as the parade's next grand marshal Saturday. But he almost didn't accept the position.
"After they told me, I spent the next few days trying to convince them that it shouldn't be me," he recounted in an announcement released Saturday. "I finally wrote them that I would accept it if it was still offered."
Besides his work with the Irish Cultural Center, Sisti also served as a committee member of the Great American Irish Festival from its inception, even chairing trash-pickup.
"Al, through his efforts, has given back to our area in many ways, especially for our Irish community,"former Grand Marshal Patrick Costello said in the announcement. "In fact, it would be hard to think of any Irish initiative in the past 20 years that Al did not have a role in."
Other roles Sisti has had in the Mohawk Valley's Irish-American community include recording secretary of Ancient Order of Hibernians from 2007 to 2010, a member of Irish culture organization Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, and co-founding the Mohawk Valley Irish Cultural Events Newsletter, event organizers said.
As a local musician, Sisti has also promoted Irish music with performances with The Blarney Rebel Band. He has also had stints with Justice McBride Band, Puttin’ on the Ritz, Les Brers and King Kool and his Royal Blues, organizers said.
