I almost spit out my WPOP when I saw Jim Cramer break out the term BANANA on Mad Money last night. So I grabbed my camera, snaped some shots (I’m not geeky enough to have hacked my Tivo… yet) and sent the photos to BuffaloGeek because I consider him responsible for popularizing the term BANANA…
One advantage of having a newborn is that I haven’t been able to be completely bombarded by the pre-election insanity. On the Presidential level, issues stopped being discussed after the last debate, and we’ve only been subjected to Palin’s wardrobe, Joe the Plumber, and Obaminfomercials. On the local level, we have pretty much the standard…
Christina Abt posted this article on BuffaloPundit’s site about Brian Higgins’ self-back-patting session in Eden yesterday. Higgins agrees with those who say the settlement was not enough. He also agrees that there is much more to be mined. However, at this point, the Congressman notes that it is going to take greater pressure by a…
Wow! It was a day of rainbows! I couldn’t believe the width and definition. These shots were taken from our bedroom. I have RAW format files too, I’m just a n00b at modifying them, so here’s the JPGs… Double Rainbow: This is a Supernumerary Rainbow: According to Wikipedia: A supernumerary rainbow is an infrequent phenomenon,…
Congratulations to my songstress wife, who auditioned for and was selected to be a part of the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus! She’ll have plenty more opportunities now to showcase her beautiful soprano voice, and add a little extra musical beauty to Buffalo. 🙂
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!
