An actual gift, at a real wedding. Not even wrapped. In fact, it's a freebie for opening a checking account at a local bank. It's a lunch box thermos cozy. It's a wedding gift. Someone actually thought that this would be an appropriate gift to give a newlywed couple. And that it was so cool, that it shouldn't even be wrapped.

Did I mention I live in Orleans county?

My work PC is messing with my head. I seem to get this screen more and more lately...at random times, for no apparrent reason. Well, actually - it happens when I least need it too.

Of the few Vietnam Veterens I know, not a one has fond thoughts of Jane Fonda. Hanoi Jane as most of them would mutter as their teeth grind under their breaths. I find it facinating because all I knew of her was Barbarella. The above precious moments were captured in the men's room at the Holley V.F.W. Post 202. You can take guesses on were those decals are sticking. But if you think to long, then you're just a dumbass. My father and I visited the V.F.W. as he's a Vietnam Era Vet, which means he was enlisted during the conflict, but never went to Vietnam. He visited us from Nevada, and as per tradition we walked across the street and got blasted with a bunch of really good people. Vets. They're good people. Go thank one today.

Ahhh...a night out at the grand 'ol Falls. Christy and I met up with Dan and Shannon for some booze and overly corney attractions. The Falls themselves are always a cool site. I could do without the tourists. It's funny how I don't consider myself a tourist since I live within an hour of the falls. I think that's a pretty solid philosophy - if you live within an hour of an attaction, then you're a native.

Hey look Fireworks. We sat behind Tim Horton's in Brockport for this free show. That building in the shots is an unmemorable motel.

So my parents and I finally got this whole video chat thing working. Pretty freaking cool. I'm using my Canon GL2 as my webcam, and I sent my dad a um....can't remember the name... a standard issue, middle of the line webcam. While my GL2 is um OVERKILL, their new cam works good. Image is a bit blurry, but audio is great (compared to my ever stable Cingular cel) We're using MSN Messenger which finally just joined the 'video chat' circle. iChat on my Mac still is the freakin best. Still its cool. Best way for me (Holley, NY) to keep in touch with my parents (Mesquite, NV).

So the above 'Smoothie Mixer' was my personal fav at Terri and Pete's last minute 4th of July party, that was held in the 2nd. Good party, great food. Awe inspiring Pina Coladas. It was my virgin whack with that new and tasty addition to my top 5 booze list. What is the rest of the list you ask?

#5 Grey Goose Martini, straight up, dirty.
#4 Bacardi O and Diet Coke
#3 Pina Colada (NEW!!!!)
#2 Black and Tan
#1 Southern Comfort on the rocks.

Honorary mentions all holding the #6 position, Jager, Sambuca, and Tequila.
