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.

First sandboxes are set up. These are held together with metal stakes and cotter pins for fast set-up and take down.
For the most part, the tubes are made of the PVC-type material used to make drains for your home plumbing, though a few were made of iron and were quite heavy. They had diameters of 3″, 4″, 5″, and 6″.
These are set up in a specific order in each box, well away from the sides and each other. They are inspected for any debris left from a previous display.
The finale fireworks are in their own green containers in the background of this photo.

Jim Mcworter figures out how to get the little cat off of its trailer: dive forward verrrrryyyy slooooowly and let it tip.

Covers are placed over the tubes to keep sand from getting into them.

Sand Handling — After the first dump, it was decided to have a group of volunteers hold the tops on while the sand was carefully shoveled out by hand.

Ready to move the lids over to the next box of tubes.
The building in the background is part of KLA Tencor, which makes semiconductor equipment. Both they and Quantum (now Maxtor) were nice about letting us and the evening crowd use their parking lots.
It is doubtful this field will be around for many more 4th fireworks display.

July 4th, the fireworks all wired up and in their foil-covered tubes. Should a live one not go off, the foil would serve as a warning. The afternoon is wearing down and we take a break for dinner before the show will start. Note the white bee-hive boxes back against the levy. We were a little nervous about disturbing the bees.

Silicon Valley Singles Center

In a nutshell: Milpitas is not a good city for singles. Out of about 19,000 homes in Milpitas, nearly 16,000 are family-led. Few homes are owned by single people (705), and young adults tend to live with their parents, or other willing relative willing to take them in as they get started. So when looking for someone to date, singles need to look outside into the wider population of Silicon Valley. There is virtually no night life here, unless you count Dave & Busters.

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. People come from all over to work in the valley — from other states and other countries. It’s hard to make connections. Foreign nationals may have been schooled in the universal language of mathematics, but they may also be caught in a neuterland. That is, the rules of attraction and courtship they grew up with in Pakistan and Turkey don’t apply here; dating, West Coast style, can be confounding even for the natives. From No Sex please, we’re geeks

Why Silicon Valley singles are giving up on the algorithms of love
Maybe the human mysteries of chemistry and attraction aren’t problems big data can solve.

Fiber Optic Cable

Optic Trunk Comes Through Milpitas

Sunday my son and I watched as the Utilities Construction Company strung fiber optic cable on top of (turned off) power towers that run parallel to Milpitas Boulevard, about a half block to the east. We chatted with an inspector for the company, who told us that they were going to be stringing the cable all around the Bay Area. This particular cable started in Hayward, so scenes like this will be common in the Bay Area for the next couple of weeks. Unlike another cable laying construction company that has been getting in trouble for laying cable through Indian burial grounds, this company specializes in high tower work, subcontracting the services of helicopters. The linemen nonchalantly hopped from tower to tower on the skids of the chopper. The chopper also brought up tools, equipment and the heavy rope that was first strung from the towers before the cable was pulled through the large bike wheel-sized pulleys. The capacity of the cable will be leased or sold in part to cities, utilities and internet service companies.

All in a day's work stringing cable. — All in a day’s work stringing cable.
