Christmas 2025

 

It's Christmas Day!!

"I know you wanted that bicycle Johnnie, but . . ."




Someone on Facebook said this was Santee.  Someone who knows cars and license plates can put a date on it.  I just like the rich color.  It looks like the photographer has tossed his jacket in the back seat and climbed up on the roof with a Speed Graphic in one hand and a fill-in flash with the other.  Ernie Cowan probably knows what's going on here.

Hey, there's Ernie now!!  Two people texted me before breakfast on Sunday to tell me I was in the paper.  And I WAS!!  Buried deep in a full-page article by Ernie Cowan about reuniting with the fellow he helped rescue over 30 years ago.  Click HERE and buckle up.

Another cool ferry boat picture, and this one in color!!  I think that's the Western Metal Building in the background on the right.  Click HERE to take a closer look.
