Antwerp, Belgium
Watching TV last night, I saw a commercial for a car I was completely unfamiliar with – the Dodge Caliber. Looked kind of interesting – nice small crossover, not too big, Gen-X options like Bluetooth enabled, a cooler in the glove compartment, and a jack for your iPod. So I swung over to the Dodge…
… when it’s 90 degrees outside, 85 degrees inside, no air conditioning, and noisy as hell because there are concrete contractors running around your yard digging, filling, hammering, and pouring concrete for the new patio and sidewalks. To make it worse, I had to close all the windows so the color powder doesn’t blow inside…
USA Today has an article that basically illustrates why young “adults” need better education in personal finance and economics. Read this paragraph: Adults aged 19 to 35 do not believe they earn enough to keep pace with the cost of living, according to the report by Qvisory, a nonprofit online advocacy and service organization.

Here’s a shot of Breakerbox from the Bring It Back To Life concert at Nietzsche’s last night. They rocked as always! Big round of applause to all the bands that were part of the show last night! The Feast sounded great… just a bit too loud for a room the size of Nietzsche’s. My ears…
Not only is it great that there still is a DeLorean Motor Company in existence, providing parts, service, restorations, and upgrades for the classic DMC-12 – the real star of the Back to the Future trilogy – but they have a sense of humor too! Try going to their parts search page and looking up…
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!
