It is baseball playoffs season. That means many late nights waiting for the ballgame to end so we can go on with our late news. On this evening we are waiting to go live from Shawnee Mission North High School where a vigil was held in memory of two students who died in a car crash in southern Missouri. We couldn't go live on school grounds, so we had to go live elsewhere.

We did the house inspection on the house on Agnes. It cost us $535.00. The inspector was very thourough. He found some things that needed to be fixed. We listed those items to the seller and got word back that they weren't going to fix any of them, that they lowered the price on the house enough and we should accept it. We found that out on Saturday 7 October. At first we were going to just ask for fewer things to get fixed. Then we thought it over and backed out of the deal. Afterward they were willing to deal with us giving us more concessions than we asked for. We even heard that the realtor was going to try and pull a fast one on us and try to force us to deal or take us to court, which was really underhanded and unfair. However, in the end, we decided to totally go in another direction. We feel completely jaded by the real estate market and dealing with realtors. Too much greed -- too little common sense.

This is the public Memorial service for Buck O'Neil, held at the Municipal Auditorium in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. You can see (barely) the Mayor of Kansas City in red sitting next to Ken Burns who did the PBS documentaries Baseball and the Civil War.

Guys from the production company called "wraps" that shot Buck O'Neils actual funeral were nice enough to let us procure a dub from them for the station.

Tess and I were doing a story on the LaFarge controversy where they are blasting close to some homes in Independence. We were doing liveshots in front of the Jackson County courthouse annex where the county comission was having a meeting on the issue.
