Del Taco Then and Still Now
Del Taco was founded as a roadside fast food diner in 1964 in Yermo, California. The original menu featured tacos, cheeseburgers, fries, and tostados. While tostados are no longer on the menu, tacos, cheeseburgers, and fries are still there, although a little more expensive. At the time tacos were 19 cents and cheeseburgers were 24 cents. That first day they took in $169 in sales, the equivalent of 900 tacos! On my website you will find my Food Photography as well as many others of my photography and video clips.

National Ice Cream Cone Day!
🍦 Happy National Ice Cream Cone Day! 🍦
We all know the ice cream cone, which made its debut at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis when a clever ice cream vendor and a waffle maker joined forces to create an edible cone! 😋✨ But let’s not forget the iconic drumstick! This beloved treat was invented in 1928 by the Parker brothers, who owned the Drumstick Company in Texas. These brothers took the classic cone to the next level, sealing a scoop of ice cream inside a waffle cone, dipping it in chocolate, and topping it with crushed peanuts! 🍫🥜In 1931, the Parker brothers sold their brilliant creation to the company we now know as Nestlé, making the drumstick a worldwide favorite. 🎉

National Aviation Day
It is National Aviation Day, August 19th. Established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939. While I wasn’t around back then (lol), at 9 years old, I was already building model airplanes and hanging them from my bedroom ceiling. Fast forward, and I’ve had the incredible opportunity to fly in all kinds of World War II warbirds, biplanes, a jet fighter trainer, and both military and civilian helicopters. Aviation has truly been an amazing part of my life journey!
