I am the poud owner of my very own bikini top.

Yea, I know, not a mental image you really needed, so here’s an actual picture to go with it;

I alluded earlier that I’ve switched jobs recently. I am still working in the construction field, but I am working for a commercial construction company again instead of a company where my focus was on residential work.

I’m not quite ready to go in to a whole lot of details just yet, but one of the major reasons I was ready for a change after almost three years was that I got to the point where I did not respect the owner of the company. If it was some large corporation where I was a sort of anonymous cog in the system it may be tollerable. But our office had six people in it, so we all had close contact with each other.

Last week, May 8th to be precise, was the 122nd anniversary of Coca-Cola. When Coca-Cola was first introduced in 1886, they sold about 9 drinks a day. Today, that figure pushes upwards of 1.5 billion. And no, I am not responsible for a majority of them.

I do drink more than my fair share of Coke, going back to when I was a kid. Probably one of the good things my step-dad did was drink Coke, so we generally had some around the house. He was from the south, so that is probably why he drank that over “that other cola” (Yes, if I am at a restaurant and I ask if they have Coke or Pepsi, if hey say Pepsi I get something else entirely). Back then it was the old 16 ounce, returnable, glass bottles that came in the eight-pack (or was it ten?) cartons. Then I remember the 8 ounce cans, the commercials showed you that they were pocket-sized, but I could never get them to fit in my pockets. Maybe it was those Sears brand jeans I wore as a kid?

By the time I was in High School, I was probably at a 5-6 can a day habit. I even kept a 12-pack in my room and had no problem drinking the occassional warm Coke while doing homework or something. All and all, life was good.

I was listening to one of the local talk stations yesterday while heading out to the paintball field, and they were taking calls for listeners to tell why their mom is the coolest. I would have called in, but talking on the phone will driving a Jeep is difficult at best. Too much background noise.

So I decided I would post what I would have said to the radio guy…

This needs some setting up…

Ok, given my alter-ego when it comes to fictional writing, and my paintball call-sign, If you know me at all you’ll see why this caught my interest.

It’s rare for endangered animals to be born in captivity, but the folks at the Huachipa zoo in Lima, Peru have been doing something right. This guy was born a couple months back, and is doing great.

I’m trying to dig up more info on the zoo, and hopefully more pics.
