I want to thank all my readers, especially the people who comment frequently on my posts. You guys/girls are bloody awesome.
Also, I'd like to say thank you to all of you for your kind words in my previous post. I really appreciate it.
Unfortunately, due to some people not having profile pictures, I can't tell who was follower number 200 :-(
What about you, loyal readers? Are your parents divorced, and did it bother you at all? This may sound callous, but it doesn't bother me one bit.
So, what's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage? Post away!
UPDATE (09.03.2011): I've tallied your votes below, and the top three choices were Water (12 mentions - including mine as the tie-breaker), Soda (11 mentions), and tea (10 mentions).
Very close in the end, with honorable mentions for smoothies, juice, and milk!
How is this the least bit acceptable?
It turns out I was spot-on, and this parade caused me to do all kinds of extra driving and clever navigating only a local could accomplish.
Once past the parade, I thought I was free to speed on up the coast, roughly ten miles to the other place in which I work. In this case, I was dead wrong. The city directly to the north was having a parade of its own, meaning that I was left to struggle through detours for more than an hour.
So, after leaving the home base around 11:45am, I didn't reach the other location - just ten miles up the road - until 1:10pm. Couple that with the fact that it was 28C (86F) outside, tourists rarely know how to drive, and the truck I was using lacked air conditioning; and I was made to be in a perfectly dreadful mood as a result of these tedious parades.
In future, you may go march your local celebrities, dressed-up marines, and driving advertisements elsewhere. Thanks very much.
It was very odd driving down the street with no lights. Have you had a similar experience? It's very weird, yet extremely cool at the same time.
I just wanted to extend my thanks and gratitude to all my readers/followers for contributing to this. I remember being chuffed about 250 views, and I genuinely did not expect to reach this momentous plateau so quickly.
So once again, thanks to all, and if you happen to be visiting when the views clock strikes 2,000, leave a comment so I can thank you and give you a shout out!
Thanks, everybody! ¡Muchas gracias por tu apoyo!

There's a very good, frustrating reason for this: I took a nap.
Sleep beguiled me with its charms and I fell victim to the age-old trick known as a 'nap'. As I imagined, the nap felt spectacular, as giving in normally does.
Sleep tempted me with promises of eradicating my boredom, relieving a bit of sleepiness, and leaving me perfectly dehydrated. In other words, it was a mighty temptation.
And, as Oscar Wilde remarked in Lady Windermere's Fan, 'I can resist everything except temptation'.
I wholeheartedly concur, Mr Wilde.
