I thought #1 was the Hewlett Packard garage, but it's next door in Palo Alto.

You got me stumped on that one.

Factoid: On his LAST professional broadcast, Vin Scully admitted to being a lifelong Giants fan. He even brought his childhood NY Giants ball cap to the broadcast booth.

Did you know that if you buy a ticket to the Right Field Pavilion, you get all the hot dogs, coke, peanuts, popcorn etc that you can eat?

Think novels, Sweet Thursday and Cannery Row

"Doc bought a package of yellow pads and two dozen pencils. He laid them out on his desk, the pencils sharpened to needle points and lined up like yellow soldiers. At the top of a page he printed: OBSERVATIONS AND SPECULATIONS. His pencil point broke. He took up another and drew lace around the O and the B, made a block letter of the S and put fish hooks on each end. His ankle itched. He rolled down his sock and scratched, and that made his ear itch. "Someone's talking about me," he said and looked at the yellow pad. He wondered whether he had fed the cotton rats. It is easy to forget when you're thinking."

― John Steinbeck, Sweet Thursday

Ed Ricketts was a genuine Renaissance Man. Hell, Ricketts collected as many luminaries, concepts and theories as marine specimens.

Were there other offerings? I'd like to believe there was a pile of seashells next to the statue, not unlike the pile of stones offered at Henry David Thoreau's cabin at Walden Pond. Heck, to have been a fly on the wall if Thoreau and Ricketts met. Just imagine the great discussions they could have had.

I don't know how or why my mom knew so much about him, but she started telling me about him in the fifties.

and sand dollars, flowers and little notes, bits of driftwood. Ed Ricketts was nearly mystical, larger than life.

When I was in Monterey on that trip (05), I had a conversation with Colin Fletcher, the celebrated backpacker and author of The Complete Walker. He was another old sage.
