I went out to the annual "A Day In The Dirt" motocross grand prix race today and shot this one.

You have to be pretty old school to know who it is.

Let me guess......
The old big dawg of the NBA Ernie Alexander????

Ding, ding, ding!

Dirty Ernie in da house! Hahaha! Just kidding.....

It's cool to see him.
Is he still doing those ice sculptures?

had a good Thanksgiving Steve.

He didn't say anything about ice sculptures. I asked what he was up to these days, and he said, "Not much." He was checking for wristbands at the entrance to the lunch area, and said his son was promoting the race.

When I jokingly mentioned that promoting ran in the family, he smiled and said, "Yeah, we'll have to break the pattern someday."

A probably read more about "Ernie Alexander" than I did about the president in the 70's....

This link will give you a shot of Ernies back at the NBA Grands.
