Day 67 (Weds., August 4)

The summer's almost over. Well, for interns, that is. This week, some interns will experience their last week as part of the Dallas Morning News. Usually, on Wednesdays we have a brown bag meeting that has been very educational for most of us. Today, however, we did not have one as everyone is getting ready to go back home. Some of us decided to stay within the brown bag spirit and went out to lunch together. Above, you can see Salvador and Jay helping out Dallas Morning News Metro section intern Victoria down the stairs. She has an injured leg, so she had to be on a wheelchair. Below, you can see that the injury has not stopped her as she raced down "The Underground" with us to lunch.

Finally, I just have to say that the way people are mixing Spanish and English together -- Spanglish, if you will -- is becoming very funny. Today, while driving around looking for a nice wild art photo, I came across a "Comederia". I am not too sure why the owner would call it like that and I am pretty sure it's a Texas thing. Comer in Spanish is to eat. So, Comederia seems like an attempt at saying "restaurant".

This reminded me of about three weeks ago when Salvador and I were out hanging out before going to an assignment on a Sunday afternoon. We bumped into a "Washateria". I guess its a play on the word "wash" as this place seemed to be a cleaners or a coin-op laundry place.
