Boonton Carnival Images

The coolest fireworks - and despite the call in the midst of it all, we made it back in time to finally see some fireworks! YAY! These may not be particularly "wow", but I happen to love this kind of display a lot and for once, the image came out exactly as they should have! Amazing.
This Jenn and you know what I look like. Jenn used to ride with us on Thursday night but she went to Sunday nights permenantly and we do miss her. She's very enjoyable and fun to spend time with and talking.
I love the way the rig looks when the flash goes off. It wasn't fully dark, but the flash brings out the lights and dims all others. The strange effect is that the lettering turns gold - without the flash it is all red.
Mike and "Tiger" sitting with me at the Boonton Carnival. Tiger is a youth member, so he has the turquoise shirt on. When we returned from our call, we both had different shirts - we'd ended up with blood all over the ones we started out with.
This is a particularly good shot of the fireworks. It looks really sharp. This was one of the first we saw upon our return.

Always nice to spend a little time with an old friend. Glad you had a good time at the Carnival and got to see some fireworks. I love the colors, how they light up the sky, the ones that squiggle as they come down.... but I hate the BOOMS!

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

Image
I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
