Less Work and More Play

I figure that since people are actually enjoying the photos I take on my little work excursions, I'll try posting another one.... I was able to travel to the beautiful city of Watsonville to inspect a property a while ago.... While I was driving, the Martinelli's Apple Cider factory caught my eye. I had no idea that Martinelli's Apple Cider was made in this little town.


It's not a very big factory. I would have thought that the factory would be huge! But it's just a small factory, across the street from a high school.


Did you toast New Year's Eve with Martinelli's Apple Cider when you were a kid? I vaguely remember drinking Martinelli's Apple Cider while the adults all had their libations.


This shocked me.... I tried calling the family center at the park where Sotomayor Field is located, they have no idea who it was named for.


I'm just going to make up a story.... Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor was the 'Pele of the Bronx', so they named the park after her.... There you go, I could think of nothing funny to say about Sonia Sotomayor.


Finally, here's the vicious beast that was out of his cage when we inspected his home.

Taking On Tyson

Approximately one month ago, fellow blogger TS Hendrik at The Non-Review wrote his opinions on the poor state of American television....

I say nay good sir! And I only need one piece of evidence to win my case..... I present to the ladies and gentlemen of the jury:

"Animal Planet presents 'Taking On Tyson'"

Mike Tyson will take you inside the ropes of his favorite sport and first love.... No, not boxing.... Former Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson will take you inside the intensely competitive and bizarrely fascinating world of pigeon racing. Tyson will compete against other pigeon handlers in an attempt to be crowned a champ once again.


It all comes full circle.... In the self-titled Tyson documentary, Iron Mike explains that attacking a gang member that murdered one of Mike's prized pigeons indirectly started his path into boxing (something that would allow him to take out his rage). And his boxing career has created Iron Mike Tyson, the celebrity image needed to convince Animal Planet that he should host a show about pigeon racing. Oh, another odd note, did you know that All Star NBA player Carmelo Anthony is credited as a producer of the Tyson documentary?


I don't know about you, but I'm going to be glued to my set every time this show is on the television! And the 'Taking on Tyson' video game is going to be awesome!

Birds Of Peace

I'm in Las Vegas today for work.... So I'm just going to post this picture I took of a pretty dove in San Marcos.

Watsonville

I was able to travel to the beautiful city of Watsonville to inspect a property last week. Here are a few photos from my journey. While I was driving, the Martinelli's Apple Cider factory caught my eye. I had no idea that Martinelli's Apple Cider was made in this little town.


It's not a very big factory. I would have thought that the factory would be huge! But it's just a small factory, across the street from a high school.
