I know all too well how that goes. I've had to re-do a few photos because one of the cats just had to see what I was doing.

Thanks a lot, appreciate the comment. I don't always mention them all but always like your shots of the desert, the wildlife, the rusty metal and rocks. Gives me inspiration and some level or standard to work towards. And I love the horn covers on that congress above. Beautiful stuff. Thanks again.


Was cleaning out some old boxes and came across a diary from the 80s. Had forgotten where I put this old ticket stub. Who knows, might be worth something someday. But never will it be worth more than the memory of being there and the game it was. Lived about 80 miles from Portland, never been to an NBA game before, but managed to get some nose bleed seats for $7. We showed up about 4 hours early because I heard somewhere that the Birdman warmed up before anyone else was in the building. It was true. NOBODY from either team was out there, but Bird was shooting from all over the court, putting on a clinic. Not even a ball boy to shag his balls. Probably about 30 people in the whole old Memorial Coliseum. Well, I had never seen him in person before, figured I might never see him again and was right about that. So I sheepishly went out on the court, no security or Coliseum employees around, no one to stop me. Walked up to Bird, apologized for disturbing him, and asked if he would sign my ticket. Told him I always wore his number when I played. He didn't change expression at all, he said nothing, just took my pen and ticket and signed and went right back to work like it never happened. He played left handed most of the game just for fun if you don't know already. Lets see Jordan, James or Curry, Embidd, Jokic, etc. do that. Very close game all the way. Blazers had a great team with Clyde the Glide, Kiki Vandeweghe, Sam Bowie, Jerome Kersey. They were the only team to beat the Celtics at home that year so this was a revenge game for Boston. Larry Legend made a runner to tie the game with two seconds left and sent it to overtime. Then down by 1 with a few seconds to play and he makes another runner to win it in overtime. I'm standing on my seat cheering with glee while all these Blazer fans around me are fuming and giving me the evil eye. Greatest game I have ever witnessed in person and probably the best on that road trip out west for the Celtics. Incredible. The stub and autograph have held up pretty well for almost 4 decades. Hope I can thank him someday.
