Punaro Glen Construction: End of October
ByDerekWe have a loan! Yay! Yay? Yes, it’s a good thing – no loan, no house. Everyone will tell you that every step in building a house takes longer than you expect, and I will be no different. We picked our builder in the beginning of June, submitted our loan application July 2nd, and closed…

Peter Hartung, creator of the video, was kind enough to send me the hi-res versions. All photos are courtesy of Mr. Selim San, Izmir (Turkey). Click on the thumbnail to see the…

Cheap maintenance bill for once
ByDerekSometimes it’s very beneficial to know how to do some relatively simple “advanced beginner” maintenance tasks on your own vehicle. Such as today when my rear brakes started squealing. I ran down to Pep Boys, picked up a new set of pads, and threw them on the car for a total cost of $27.18 and…

Yeah, it snowed
ByDerekThe amount of snow that’s fallen is pretty crazy. It’s the light, fluffy, kind where you can see distinct snowflakes, and when you walk on it, you sink to your knees. Thought I’d take the camera out for awhile yesterday and see what I could capture.

Hi! I write you for different reasons. The first one to tell you I enjoyed your pics from Belgium. I went there last year and I think it’s an awesome place. The other reason is because we share the same lastname, this is: Punaro. I am mexican, and back there all the people that share this lastname are the descendents of the late Mr. José Asuncion Punaro (this is my grandfather from my mother’s side). The funny thing is that we don’t know the origen of the Punaro name. So, each time I have a chance, I seach to see if by any chance I find a clue. Some time ago I was told it is from northen Italy. Do you have an idea? Thank and hope you don’t bother for using this space that I imagine it’s reserved for your family and close friends.
The name does originate in Italy. Somewhere, I have some images of Ellis Island records of my ancestors coming over to the U.S. I’ll post them when I have a chance. I do not know where the Mexican branch would have started!
