    Changing It Up

    September 26th, 2011 No comments

    Hello,

    I know it has been a while since I have had anything important to say and that is because I have been busy.  I have been working on changing some things up on the site and wanted to let you know that I am working on a Members area!  This Members area will allow you to view more information than is normally available to my readers. 

    So, I wanted to get feedback from you as to what type of material would you like posted in the Members area.  I know most people would prefer certain things but this site is Safe-For-Work so we have to keep it clean. 

    Please give me some thoughts in the comments area and I will work my best to get what you want.

    Also, if you have not already become a member please contact me and let me know you are real and want to be a member of the site.  Did I forget to mention that it was FREE?  Yes the site is FREE and all material in the Members area is going to be FREE for as long as I can but if you want to keep it FREE then I suggest you signup and give me your feedback.

    PS, I am going to be changing the Journal Page to a Private Page so that you would have to be a member in order view the Journal Page. 

    Thanks for reading and stay tuned!

    Semper Fidelis,

    Manuel Perez

    Dos Palos Water Tower Gets A Facelift

    IMG 8657 Dos Palos Water Tower Gets A Facelift

    If you live in Dos Palos then I am sure you have already saw the water tower!  Its all part of some kind of facelift for the water tower.  I took a photo of it the other day with my phone but it didn’t do any justice.  Here is one with my Canon EOS 5D Mark II from the middle of the practice field at the Dos Palos High School.

    Thanks for reading!
