recent business carton - Roy Delgado



Reminds me of a guy I used to work for . . . nobody
liked the bastard owner . . . . I told one guy the first
day I was there . . . I said to him:  " How can you work for a guy you can't stand ! ? " The time goes so slow ! " . . . He
told me: " The secret is to take LONG lunch hours ! . . ,
"It makes the time being here go quicker ! "
Once I caught on, I learned the guy was right !

                     now up to CorelPaintSopPro 16,
                             I STILL prefer the NINE.

                    Now I know what Jerry King meant
                   when he told me he uses PhotoShop 4,
                  I believe, although at the time he told me, 
                   ( awhile back )his program was up 
                              to PhotoShop8 or 9.

Belief is one of the most powerful of all

" When I am . . . 
completely myself, entirely alone . . . 
or during the night when I cannot sleep, it is on such occasions that my ideas flow best and most abundantly.
When and how these come I know not, 
nor can I force them. "

My old shop



Back in the good ole days ( Not too long ago )  This photo was
taken in the mid 80s . . . . I had just sold my 81 DeLorean and I
ended up with my two favorite older cars. . . a '55 Chevy Bel Aire
and a Camaro, I think it was a 1987 ? Both neat wheels.

Who changed " We the people " . . . to:
" Screw the people. " ?   

Starbucks in Heaven ? -1000rcd - SatEvePost cartoon coming - Roy Delgado



My company, Delgado Signs of Woodbridge, Virginia
were awarded all of the signage  for the first Starbucks Coffee Shop ( 1993 ) in the east coast. It was located in Washington, D.C. on Wisconsin Ave.
Our company went on to do 27 new Starbucks stores
located in Maryland, Virginia, Greenwich, CT. and one in Boston and one in Atlanta.  The first store in Washington, D.C. was due completed right in the middle of " The Blizzard of '93. 

 I think the top brass from
Starbucks were impressed with our timely opening in the middle of a blizzard with no panic at the first store and "gave" us the next 27 as a gift, I don't know, but it was a pleasure doing business  with such classy professional
people.


Something to dwell on . . . - - Roy Delgado


Think about this . . . . In the 20's, an ounce of gold cost $20.00 . . .
and you could purchase a NICE suit.

and NOW, an ounce of gold can STILL purchase you a nice suit . . . . BUT NOW, WITH THAT SAME TWENTY BUCKS,YOU CAN'T EVEN BUY A NICE TIE !
THINK ABOUT IT !
