You haven't seen a fireworks show until they are lit off right over your head like at the Cabo Azul

The payoff... Cinco de Mayo at the MEcabo

Home from Mexico. Watched the race. Saw the winner cross the finish. Ate some tacos and drank some suds. The Kawasaki posters and banners we shot were up all over Ensenada, and then they weren't, they got taken by people because they looked bitchen, nice work BlueC... Kawasaki came in second overall and lost the whole enchilada by less than 3 minutes! Found unauthorized photo-usage in several places including the sweatshirt I'm currently wearing that has one of the studio images I shot of Parnelli's Big-Oly Bronco. Oh well, there is no translation for copyright in Spanish. Flattering I guess. Had the mis-fortune of picking the worst lane possible at the border but still "only" 3 hours to cross...Laundry today and vacuuming cactus needles out of the front seat of my truck. Turducken on thursday... yum.. if you've never heard of it, google it.
