I like seeing how crowded Ft Point was 35+ years ago. Looks like today...

I don't head over to Ft Point all that much, but does that tide seem really low?

And it's not dangerous at all. And i didn't put my hand on a giant blubbery mass there...

Haha, I was thinking more about rising sea levels. Maybe that video just wasn't taken at dead high tide ;)

Awesome. My dad used to have one of those giant fords like the MPs. Anyone know who is on the soundtrack? That's not Wishbone Ash.
