Dusty Moments, America's Finest Blog, is dedicated to photography and the American way of life. With each old snap shot or Kodachrome slide, a bit of the psyche of the person behind the camera is revealed, while simultaneously creating mysteries as to the true nature of the subject's story. The words within this blog are my own. Many of the photographs are mine too, but included also are the dusty moments from my parents and grandparents, as well as, junk store finds.

250
A couple of nights ago, former Mariner pitcher Jamie Moyer won his 250th game of his career. Jamie is 46 years old and has been pitching since I was a high school junior. The great thing is that Jamie wasn't really that good a pitcher for a long time, but made himself into a very fine pitcher and guy that was fun to watch. But the best part is, he did it without 'roids or suspected drug use and no trips to Capitol Hill to answer Senator's questions. Instead he did it with hard work and determination, that all American stuff we are all suppose to aspire toward and teach our kids. Jamie will never make it to the Hall of Fame, but that does not deter America's Finest Blog's fondness for ol' Mr. Moyer, a great person and great Mariner. Tonight's photo's are of Moyer and another fellow that probably will not make the Hall of Fame, Barry Bonds. Bonds of course will be left out because of the suspected 'roid use and drug controversy. The photos are of Moyer striking out Bonds, maybe symbolizing the victory of truth over evil. Or maybe its because Bonds, being geared to hit fastballs, couldn't wait long enough to hit Moyer's Buggs Bunny slow balls.
