Del Mar Times
High Tech Fair
Last week I covered an exhibition of local technology companies attended by middle and high school students. I contributed photos as wells as the written piece for the Del Mar Times, and it was pretty intense seeing what these kids got to be exposed to. Back in my day we never played with bomb-detecting robots or jet turbines during school hours.
Wild West Extravaganza
So of course I enjoy a good rodeo. The Wild West Extravaganza in Del Mar didn’t offer any bullriding, barrel racing or other competition, but what it lacked in western athleticism it made up in corny yet heartfully sincere nostalgia. The historical past of the 19th century western United States may not have been so noble, but it has spawned a modern yearning for a time of chivalry, brotherhood andromance that can make even the most jaded urbanite get lost in tales of cowboys and Indians.
