Hey all… I’m dusting off the long-neglected Punaro.com. It’s going to look like a mess for a bit. Do not adjust your set. It’s not you, it’s me.
My ongoing saga of mice in the attic continues. After removing #6 and #7, I decided to pick up two more traps since this one at a time seemed to be taking too long. This morning I removed #8, #9, and #10. It doesn’t seem to matter how many you remove, there’s always another one…
I’ve been having a hard time keeping up with all the blogs lately, so I completely missed this piece from BuffaloBlogger, whose in-laws were in town from England and ranked the Central Terminal at the top of their vacation memories list. This ladies and gentlemen was their highlight. This grand old building that so many…
Twelve years ago, I decided to attend the Rochester Institute of Technology for several reasons, none of which had anything to do with sports. As college often goes, however, you get an education that surpasses just what’s in your degree program. RIT had a top Division III hockey team in those days that has since…
Two pics from today’s trip on the Arcade & Attica Railroad with my parents…

I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
