You were perhaps wondering about the 1994 photograph I mentioned in today's On This Date writeup? Here's that image, from a scanned slide.
We'd been attending baseball home openers in Detroit for over a decade, and my brother--a Cubs fan--thought we should take in a Cubbie opener. So he bought us tickets.
Turned out to be a fairly famous game--Tuffy Rhodes hit three home runs. Off Doc Gooden.
A week later we also attended the Tigers' home opener. In between we caught the West Michigan Whitecaps' first two games ever--played in South Bend. We used to watch lots of baseball.
==========
The film photographs I can precisely date fall into two broad categories. Either there's a date on the photograph, or it's tied to a specific event. Most of the specific-event pix turn out to be baseball games. Few, though, are tied to events quite so well-known as Tuffy's big game.

This is the old road bed of the Denver, South Park and Pacific(now a trail)on the way up to the East Portal of the Alpine Tunnel. the train ride must have been a rush with the scenery and the steep precipice on the right side of the vehicle in this pic. Didn't know what a rush till the descent, then I figured out why the passenger was hanging on to my door handle. Below is a link to Wikipedia and some of their writeup on the tunnel. There are other pix of this ride in my photostream.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_Tunnel
Alpine Tunnel is a 1,772 feet (540 m) narrow gauge railroad tunnel located east of Pitkin, Colorado on the former Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad route from Denver to Gunnison.
Construction began in January 1880 and was scheduled to last 6 months, but the railway was completed in July 1882 by the Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad. At an altitude of 11,523 feet (3,512 m), it became the first tunnel constructed through the Continental Divide. It was abandoned in 1910 due to minor damage in the tunnel.
The east portal of the tunnel has collapsed and the west portal has been covered by landslides. The former railbed is now a hiking trail on the east side and a rough road over the former railbed on the west side leads to a restored railroad stationhouse.

The seemingly easy task of a judge in interpreting the law has gradually become extremely complex, troublesome and even become something of a torture, especially for those with a conscience in our national context. When I was born, Pakistan had only two provinces - one of them is gone. However, we still have four provinces making me wonder how I passed my first-grade mathematics. Well actually Pakistan was created with four provinces: East Bengal, Sindh, West Punjab, and a province without a name called NWFP. Balochistan was not there yet. In 1955, we created two provinces only: West Pakistan and East Pakistan ostensibly as a mean to create parity between the two provinces and to remove the absolute majority of the Eastern wing. Now there wasn't a single province with a name. Anyhow the two wings each had a capital, a provincial assembly, a high court, a PIDC and a WAPDA. The Sindh Chief Court was wound up never to be heard of again. Towards the end of his tenure, Ayub Khan was asking desperately about ways and means of getting rid of the eastern part. A committee of two civil servants was assigned the task to see if the West would be better off without the East. Before the judgment could come, Ayub's time was up. Enter Yahya Khan who wanted to do things his way and pit one wing against the other. But wait - the first thing he did was to undo One Unit a little after he completed a year into his new job on July 1, 1970 by restoring Sindh/ NWFP and (the added icing on the cake) creating Balochistan as a province. West Punjab became simply Punjab while East Bengal remained East Pakistan. That was a glorious time when we had five provinces and four High Courts - turning into five when Balochistan had one of its own in a few years.
To return to the judges and courts, they first came under pressure when our titular head - the Governor General taking advantage of the anti-Ahmadi protests dismissed his predecessor as Governor General and then Prime Minister hailing from East Bengal. A new Prime Minister also from East Bengal was transferred from Washington and asked to assume office but after the assembly stripped the Governor General of some of his powers, he retaliated by dismissing the assembly itself. It is mentioned authoritatively that the Governor General who proceeded on sick leave within a year of these actions, could not have done so unless he had the support of the Army Chief, enabling these semi-coups. This belief gets confirmation, when we hear of the Army Chief telling his Western friends that these dismissals constituted a God-sent opportunity for Pakistan!
The Speaker/President of the Legislative/Constituent Assembly appealed to the Sindh Chief Court. The Registrar of the Chief Court Roshan Ali Shah brought the speaker in a burqa to file the petition against the Governor General for reasons that are obvious. Four and a half decades later, the Supreme Court headed by Roshan Ali Shah’s son would be stoned by political workers. Anyhow, the Sindh Chief Court ruled against the Governor General terming his action illegal. The court was headed by a British Indian Civil Service officer of the 1923 batch and later Governor of Sindh, Justice Sir George Baxandall Constantine. The matter now went to the Federal Court and things began to get a little awry. The Governor General offered to appoint the Chief Justice to a newly created position of Deputy Governor General - a promise he never kept. Muhammad Munir who kept his part of the promise wept at this betrayal more so when he realized the enormity of his injustice. The Federal Court ruled 4-1 in favor of the Governor General. The only dissenting judgment came from Alvin Robert Cornelius, another ICS officer (though not British) of the 1926 batch. Judges Akram, Sharif and Rehman supported their boss.
But worse was to come. In an unconnected development, the Sindh Chief Court was wound up for good and made the Karachi Bench of the West Pakistan High Court within a few months of the Federal Court's April 1955 judgment. Curiously, some judges who wrote the landmark judgment against the Governor General had cases of sodomy registered against them to send the right message across the judiciary. Talking of sick minds --- !
In 1958, the country got its first martial law and working at that time was certainly not a good time for any just or independent minded judge of the superior courts, which brings me to the topic of this writeup. Justice Malik Muhammad Rustom Kayani was born in 1902 at Kohat, selected to the 1927 batch of the ICS and became a judge of the Lahore High Court in 1949 enabling him to see all the turmoil in the early days of Pakistan from a close distance. He was appointed Chief Justice of the West Pakistan High Court from 1958-62 and was a judge in the British tradition of Anglo-Saxon justice like all his predecessors and unlike many of his politically oriented successors.
In a country under Martial Law, especially when that act had been condoned by the Supreme (not Federal now) Court itself, there is considerable abridgment in the power of courts to do justice. Notwithstanding that Malik Rustom Kayani came to symbolize the conscience of the judiciary through his speeches at all major events. In the early fifties, he had been elected President of the ICS/CSP Association and although one of his service colleagues three years his junior was Secretary General and Deputy Administrator of Martial Law, Kayani retained his judicious mindset and spoke his mind as well across the country.
Kayani would speak extempore, yet what he said would make more than four very witty books. Humor was inbuilt in his attacks on the government of the day, softening the impact a little. At the same time, he was most unforgiving! For instance, when Islamabad was announced as the new capital of Pakistan, he was quick to announce that it sounded like Islam Bibi. He suggested the hilarious name of Tando Maulvi Gulsher Khan Kolo - Tando for Sindh, Maulvi for Balochistan, Gulsher for Punjab, Khan for NWFP and Kolo for East Pakistan. He hastened to add that kolo meant a banana in Bengali. He was not serious, but the point was made - Islam should not be politicized. Sitting with Munir on the Commission probing the Anti-Ahmadi riots of 1953 he had certainly learnt his share of lessons. And thus, his criticism of the public policies of the day continued.
He was equally witty when it came to writing the foreword / preface to his collections of speeches. In one of these, he noted that he wanted to call his book The Whole Truth but after the President of Pakistan's message had been added, he had decided to call it Not the Whole Truth. The unfortunate fact is that Ayub Khan's patience was almost at an end. An uncle of mine, A, R, Kazi, whose son headed the Sindh High Court in the nineties, and who was Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Law at that time told me that the President sought the view of their ministry about arresting Kayani under Martial Law Regulations. My uncle wrote that such a move was totally unnecessary as it would only bring international condemnation and earn a bad name for Pakistan. It was better that he be called and given a piece of the President's mind. The then Law Secretary Sir Edward Snelson concurred with my uncle and the suggested step was taken. A great national embarrassment was thus saved. Thereafter Ayub Khan took the additional safeguard of interviewing judges before their appointment - a tradition carried out by Yahya Khan as well. Anyway, Ayub Khan patiently waited for Kayani to attain his age of superannuation in October 1962. Understandably he did not elevate him to the Supreme Court and thereby prolong his tenure. On his retirement, Foreign Minister Manzur Qadir was appointed Chief Justice of the Lahore High Court and the relief of the administration can be understood.
It should not be assumed, however, that Kayani spoke only against the government. He had a lively mind - made to entertain. Once he spoke of his fall from grace with his superiors and posting as District and Sessions Judge Dera Ghazi Khan. On reaching there, he found himself amongst all the exiles in the other departments as well.
The medical community was not spared either. His daughter was a friend of the daughter of Dr. Shujaat Ali the famous Medical Superintendent of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Lahore. He came to the Fatima Jinnah medical college and hospital's annual function as the chief guest. He mentioned that the previous night, he dreamt that he had died and gone up. There the angels asked him what he was doing on earth. He replied that he was a judge, so the angel ordered his being taken to Hell. On reaching the gates of Hell, the angel asked him his name and when he told him that the angel ordered him to be taken to Heaven as his name was not on his list and maybe he was a good judge. At Heaven he had a similar experience and was again referred to Hell. He was asked his full name and then again told his name was not there. He then created a scene and said if you guys don’t know where to place me, why have you brought me up here. Just then, a high entity - either Saint Peter or the Archangel Gabriel was passing by and asked him the reason for the commotion. He told him the whole story. The high entity asked him where was the last place he was on earth. Kayani replied - Sir Ganga Ram Hospital Lahore. “Now I understand” said the high entity. "The Medical Superintendent there Dr. S____ sends people here before time creating administrative difficulties for us - we are waiting for him to come here!" By this time, the entire audience was laughing uncontrollably.
Hardly a month after his retirement while visiting East Pakistan, Kayani died of a heart attack in the Chittagong circuit house. The transition to authoritative rule had killed him. Of course, he was spared witnessing a lot of bad things that were to come.
While Yahya Khan was generally courteous with the judiciary, they returned the favor by declaring him a usurper after he had been deposed in 1972. When President Bhutto met Justice Hamoodur Rehman after that judgment, he told him that the next time his court will probably declare the British Annexation of India as illegal. During Bhutto's own tenure, a District Judge was arrested from his court by the police evoking a powerful protest from Justice Tufail Ali Abdul Rehman, the hardworking and brilliant Chief Justice of Sindh appointed after the Sindh High Court came into being in 1970.
After Ziaul Haq took over, his policy towards the judiciary was clear - are you with us or against us? Furthermore, the Bhutto trial and execution brought the entire judicial system under sharp focus and scrutiny around the world. Certain British jurists noted that while Pakistan continued with the English style of dress and other practices and etiquette, grave injustices were being meted out. Something curious happened after that. In November 1980, the dress of the Superior Court judges was dictated through an official order. Under this order, Judges were to wear Jinnah caps, black sherwanis and gowns. Gone were the wigs, the butterfly collars and bands marking the fanfare with which the then Chief Justice had been brought to take oath only three years hence. Furthermore, judges could not be addressed as "My Lord" and "Your Lordship" but as "Sir", "Janab-e-Wala" or `Janab-e-Ali". The courts had been effectively 'nationalized' under the garb of the new Hijra centenary. The PCO the next year, perhaps, put the last nail in the coffin of an independent judiciary. An acting Supreme Court Judge and former Chief Justice of the Lahore High Court who had worked passionately for the regime like a fanatic was not even called to take oath. Those were the very judges who shot Pakistan's judiciary in the foot. On the other hand, luminaries like Justice Malik Rustom Kayani will always be remembered for their structured resistance against any encroachment on the rights of the judiciary.

Meet Amy's dog, Franklin "Frankie" Wasabi Lee. I added the "Esq." because it sounded classy. He's not actually licensed to practice law. At least not in Washington state. But he sure is a little cutie, isn't he? And very good at posing. Sooo much easier than my dogs.
On a sadder note, we had to put Oscar, the miniature schnauzer, to sleep a few weeks back. I didn't mention it at the time because it was while I was taking my break from flickr, and I also just needed a bit of time. The Cushing's and diabetes were getting worse, he'd gone blind in both eyes almost over night, and didn't have the energy to leave his bed on most days. It was a tough call, but he is at peace and pain free now.
He was the first dog I had ever owned that wasn't my parents', and we had a lot of great times. He could be a huge pain in the butt at times (think constant barking, and then double that), but he was also one of my best friends. I remember how proud I was when he peed on his first fire hydrant. How scared I was when he ate green onion, even though it was such a tiny amount that it couldn't possibly hurt him (we made him throw it up just to be sure). How quickly we got him fixed when he decided my arm looked good for humping. Or how wonderful and gentle he was with Ella when she was a newborn, standing on the arm of the couch, peering into the crib to keep an eye on her (half curiosity, half protective older brother). It was hard saying goodbye to him. I'll miss you, little buddy.
I would have used a photo of him for this writeup, but sadly, I don't have any more that aren't already on here, and it seemed too morbid to take one last photo of him. It's not the way I want to remember him anyway. So, we'll go with happy, healthy Frankie, to lighten this writeup significantly. I really like this photo of him, btw. I think if I decided not to do landscapes anymore, I could be happy photographing dogs.
Oh, Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there, on this, the most important holiday of the year, in my unbiased opinion. :)
I've probably posted this too soon since I wanted to do a writeup on my blog. In a nutshell, I wanted to mimic Edward Curtis's goldtone or orotype photographs using Photoshop. This involved sampling a digital image of his per instructions kindly provided by Paul Butzi's blog and then transferring those points to the red, green, and blue channels of a curves adjustment layer. This is what I got. I'll update this with a pointer to the Library of Congress image that I used.
