Some others of you may wondered about my constant photographing and displaying their visits to said bath/pond.
It goes back.
Way, way, way back to the days of my youth in a small town in northwestern North Dakota where I was born and raised.
The town's name was Stanley and the nickname of the school's sports teams was . . . well, I bet you guessed it, didn't you?
I never was on any of the teams but, as I think I've said here before, I was the tallest student manager in the state.
And I still remember the "fight song".
And I still remember the "fight song".
Stanley Blue Jays
Hats off to thee
Your name, your fame
spreading from sea to sea.
Rah, rah, sis-boom-bah,
Rah, rah, sis-boom-bah,
H'ray for the white and blue!
So forgive this alumnus of 1958 for his favoring the blue jays in his yard.
It runs deep.
