Day Thirty-Two: Party in a Bag

                                            

It seems appropriate that my picture for today should reflect on the great American tradition of the Super Bowl. Most years, the food -- chips, queso, homemade sweet treats, little smokies-- proves to be more interesting than the game, with the commercials fitting somewhere in between.  (I realize that for some, the game will never be more interesting than the commercials or the food.)  Fortunately, tonight's game was an unusual Super Bowl in that the game was, for the most part, interesting and exciting. You really did not know who was going to win until the final seconds.  As most games go, however, there are those moments when the seconds don't seem to tick fast enough. That's when we turn back to our friend, the Dorito bag, and reunite with its contents.  And that's when I turned back to the Dorito bag and snapped this shot. I wouldn't go so far as to say that this shot is artistic, but I hope it's a little more interesting than the standard Dorito's advertisement.

P.S. Your random Jeopardy tidbit for today: "Dorito" is Spanish for "little bits of gold". As a fan of the corn chip, I think this translation fits rather well. :)
