Day 34 (Fri., July 2)

Today was a cause for celebration. The above photo is a zoom-effect photo taken of an www.aldiatx.com cake we had a the office today. The cause for celebration: our web site received a prestigious award. Of the news-providing web sites entered into a contest, www.aldiatx.com was chosen as the best in its division. There are two categories; either above or below the 200,000-publication rate. On the lower division, we were the best out there. So, today we celebrated in the office with a luau-style festivity.

OK, I know I have been putting a lot of photos of Salvador on the web site. Most of the them with beautiful women surrounding him. What can I say? I just feel proud of knowing such a "ladies man". In fact, when we left California, I knew that somehow I was going to see Salvador get laid in Texas... OK, hold it right there. What type of laid are you thinking of? Man, if I know how people's minds work, I can almost guess what ya'll (as they say in Texas) are thinking. Don't be sick-minded. Remember, I was talking about a "luau", so, of course, Salvador was going to get laid -- as in wearing a lai as pictured below:

Sick-minded people!!!! How can you think wrong of good-hearted Sal -- or "the Salamander" as he is known around the intern community.

 

I know, I know. That was a low blow. Sorry for putting you on the spot so much Sal. If it makes any of ya'll feel better. Salvador, took the following picture of me while I was acting as if I was busy (actually, I think I was just checking my e-mail). But here's the chance for Sal, or any of ya'll, to get revenge. Whoever comes up with the best caption for the following photo, gets a complimentary meal at Whataburger from me; and a chance for your caption to be included under the photo. So, e-mail me these clever captions and let the wittiest win.

 

Finally, today was the first of a three-consecutive-day series of firework photography. I went to the City of Garland's Star Spangled Fourth celebration to shoot their fireworks. It was a fun experience being that the Garland Police was very helpful in making my photos happen. I was able to get access to the rooftop of their building and shoot the following photo from there. Besides last Saturday, when I shot the lacer and firework show in Fort Worth, I had never shot fireworks before. So, this is quite the learning experience. I hope the little I learned today helps me in tomorrow and Sunday's firework photography. Keep posted for that.
