Remember the Before Times, when people could travel? Back in 2004 Jenn and I visited Las Vegas. Check out that fancy video camera! #ThrowbackThursday

Our first trip to Las Vegas in 2004. #ThrowbackThursday
This week marks the 40th anniversary of the big Mt St Helens eruption, so it’s fitting that my next scheduled throwback photos are of a visit there in August 2003. #ThrowbackThursday
Pictures of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse and Yaquina Bay Bridge, taken in April 2003 during an anniversary trip to the Oregon coast. (Hey kids, in the Before Times people could actually travel and stay places.) #ThrowbackThursday
We have a wall of old-timey-style postcards to commemorate places we’ve visited. Since we won’t be visiting anywhere for a while due to COVID-19, we added a “Surf Your Couch” postcard to mark this time. Prints of this and other designs are available from the artist.
From 2002, four pictures of the Grays River Covered Bridge in southwestern Washington state, built in 1905. #ThrowbackThursday
Sigh… if it weren’t for this pesky virus, we’d be headed to NZ today. With NZ requiring 14-days self-isolation on arrival, I bet the plane will be mostly empty, just Kiwis returning home.
As many people have pointed out, and I just want to note on my blog, New Zealand will be instituting very strict restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including requiring 14 days of self-isolation for all arrivals. So we are very glad that we made the decision to postpone our trip.
I just canceled my hotel reservation for San Jose for WWDC week. Another sad cancelation, not getting to do the usual meetups and podcast live shows of that week. But at least Apple has announced an online-only WWDC this year.
