Fireworks Set-Up for 4th of July 2002
A lot of work went into setting up the fireworks display on the 4th of July, 2002. Pyro Spectaculars is a very active company that hires professionally licensed “pyros” to manage the display set-up. They usually have a crew of friendly volunteers who turn out to help with various aspects of the two-day process. The Zeise family has now helped out twice. Here are some photos of the whole gang working on the non-explosive part on July 3rd, which is why you’ll see some children. For current 4th of July plans in Milpitas, check the Events Calendar.

They’ve got money, power and huge hard drives so why aren’t Silicon Valley’s finest getting any? In Silicon Valley the biggest immigration problem may be sex.…

Bail Bondsmen – San Francisco Bay Area
Do you know what a bail bond or bail bondsman is? There are a several ways of explaining bail bonds and how a person in jail can get out of jail. Milpitas bail bonds men follow the same rules as other bail bonds companies. We found a few good descriptions of the bail bonds procedure and reprinted in part below. Bail bonds in its simplest form is where; one human guarantees another human will be at a specific place at a specific time. This works well until the bonded person that is out on bail skips court or their hearing date and then they have to be physically forced to…
