January 3, 1988: Tony Zendejas missed two field goals in regulation but hit the game winning 42-yarder in overtime. Hold by Jeff Gossett. Oilers 23 Seahawks 20. Seattle had 29 yards rushing—good thing Steve Largent pitched in 7 catches for 132 yards and two TDs.

“New Yorkers go about unaware of what is happening just beneath their feet: Power pulses, information flies, and steam flows. The city’s infrastructure starts just below street level, but it doesn’t stop there.”

More about Nancy:

Nancy Christenson Hendrickson was born February 26, 1886, and was the 6th child of Swedish immigrants. She was the first to be born on the family homestead along the Heart River near Mandan. Nancy attended school classes during the winter, but learned mostly from the many magazines her family subscribed to. In the 1920s, responsibility for the homestead fell to Nancy as her mother fell ill. She worked as a seamstress and engaged in animal photography. Many of her photos won awards and were sold in newspapers and magazines.
