Not What I Was Looking For

Somewhere in the bowels/nether reaches of my 35mm archives is a photo of the famed "Carter X-Jump" taken at Utah's Goblin Valley State Park.  Taken at night even--with yours truly wearing a pair of neon-green swimtrunks (received earlier in the day as a birthday present).

Too bad I couldn't find it. I promise to keep looking, though. Meanwhile, enjoy this photo of a family of mountain goats browsing in the scree near Glacier National Park's Logan Pass. (Going To The Sun Road can be seen in the background.)

ps: Please excuse the lousy photoshopping

of the peaks in the background. I was trying

to get a bit more contrast in the sky, but it 

didn't quite work out the way I intended.

SURF'S UP! (but watch that first wave!)

Happy Birthday O.B. Turkey, who/wherever you are

Whoever O.B. is (was?), someone thought enough of him to send regards on the Giants scoreboard. From the evidence presented here, not many were on hand to wish O.B. well. Photo taken at Candlestick Park sometime in the mid-seventies. (Although box scores are available online, TSG is too lazy to determine the exact date.)

While we're on the subject, I suppose it's appropriate today to salute the uneaten (inedible?) turkeys free ranging in America's forests and fields. And campgrounds.

Happy Thanksgiving!

PS: since we're talking Turkey and Major League sports (we are?) TSG is pleased to announce:
