KCI -- We packed our final bags and got Mom at her woik. She is dropping us off. We checked our bags and got a bagel. Now we are sitting and watching videahs on the puter. KCI is such a nice unbusy uncluttered airport.

We've arrived in Dallas. Flew on an old TWA plane -- an S 80. My inverter works on the plane. I didn't realize it was just a cigarrette lighter adaptor that have been on planes forever -- I guess since the smoking days. The newer planes have the fancy pants adaptor. I did a little editing on YJ's Jazz jam 4 Dec 08. I'm always the first one up when the seatbelt lights go off. I shot a 10 min timelapse with the HDV out the window, much to the bemusement of some of the passengers. Our flight is delayed about 25 minutes out of here. The DFW airport seems pretty nice -- different from when I was last here in 1990 when I flew to San Antonio to go to basic training.

Rob and I went to Leavenworth today. We talked with a county commissioner, the Mayor and a person who lives across from where a potential prison may go. I edited in Avid 1. I et at smack. I had to run with Leslie to do her liveshot at the dead Bannister mall which is being torn down....

YJ's.

Today we got up later than we wanted. We went to Smokestack BBQ, then we went to thriftshops. We are hoping to find the boots Ninoy wants. We went to two military surplus stores. I then dropped Suyen off at work and went to Wife's Enemy number two. I found an old board with firewire ports on it. I brought it to Tony who soldiered them into my canopus. I went to Nebraska Furriture Mart then went homo. I got my puter and let tima out to ti ti and dukie. I hooked my stuff up and tested it -- IT WORKS! Another $5.35 from me to my company, plus my time. So I drove here and found that my settings for uploading to YouTube work too -- Woo Hoo!!

I got the old burgandybomb back today -- old unit 13 with a new transmission. I tested out the system yet again -- it is consistent and works fine. I must state that the idea dawned on me about 2002 when I used a cell phone and apple G4 titanium and a Sony TRV 900 to broadcast to Suyen's helper Ta Ta a gravel rural road I was traveling on with James in rural Leavenworth County. Ta Ta was in Suyen's cyber cafe in Compostela in the Philippines using MSN Messenger. I thought then, if I could do that kind of thing, why couldn't it be done for the news? It wasn't until 2005 until I found somebody who shared in my enthusiasm. I was putting a camera on my dash off and on since '04, but I knew it was only half a system. When I talked to John about my ideas, he liked them. However, I wasn't able to get an aircard until '06. I first sent a broadcast then, and got a lot of people onboard with my idea then. There, too, since then have been many nay sayers that haven't been helpful. That is true in any enterprise. I am trying now to hook up the system more and more to get into practice at working it. It does take a lot of hard work to keep it going and a lot of practice to set it up without much stress.

www.myfoxkc.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail?contentId=8211803&version=29&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=1.1.1

I am wierded out by this story because it is taking place 4 blocks from my house and because I did a story there at their house with Monica last Christmas. Today was a mess because of the late start of the vigil and because we locked ourselves out of the van minutes before the live. Jason edited the piece for us thank GHOD! We might of never made even that if it wasn't for him. Anyway we survived. I was so busy tonight that it hadn't dawned on me until late that there was much sadness and human emotion at the vigil. Yes, I witnessed it first hand, but it didn't sink in and thus effect me until I later found a vigil candle on the way out of the liveshot while cleaning up the cables and such. It then became poignant to me. How many of these have been to? I remember onetime bawling my eyes out during a vigil, and keeping my face buried in the viewfinder to hide it. These things do affect us deeply, maybe not up front, but sometimes later, or in our dreams, or in a moment when we get to stop and reflect. I'm hoping the best for this family.

I'm homo now. We watched Jazz at YJ's after taking Ken to Taj Palace for Indian. At choich there was a problem with the mic placement picking up the harmony sung by one person which cornfused the people in the back as they couldn't hear the melody. The church had a guest priest and a deacon who is going to be ordained in 6 months. The protest is on in the garden. They put an installation up in it and are planning on camping out all night.

We had an interesting talk with the pastor of the church. They fed us delish breakfast. He is very passionate about what he does-- and now he is helping the homeless. The world needs more like him.

Sitting at YJ's. After Suyen left for woik, I put together the other cat box. It was more complicated than I thought it would be mainly because of the argument I had with all the packaging. It also seems to be made of cheaper materials but has more options to it like a air purifier -- yeah, big deal!!!! I headed out and went to Digital Video Midwest to get some dv tapes. Everything is going to memory cards buuuut, they are way expensive -- like a 16gb P2 card which will only record 16 minutes in the highest resolution is over nine hundred dollars. So I'll wait for the prices to get reasonable before I'll invest in that. The good thing is that hard drives and cards are making tapes super cheap. A box of five - 60 minute sony mini DV's cost me about $16.00. I then went to YJ's after Tima and I walked. While on our walk, I took pictures with my phone of the little strip of green in the back alley behind all these buildings on 18th and Wyandotte. It seems, as I have heard from a barista here, that it is in danger. According to the barista, an architectural firm, ( I don't know who) is planning to bulldoze it to build five parking spaces. This little area has 3 mature trees and has become something of a community garden as well as a green oasis in a sea of asphalt, mortar, brick, stone and concrete. So, I think, if it is true what was told me by this barista, why people in the community would be concerned. In the pictures I took, you can see that the garden has been damaged already by the construction taking place in the parking lot and alley there.

In the alley behind the intersection of 18th and Wyandotte in Kansas City sits wedge between asphalt parking lots a little strip of green that has been used as a community garden of sorts. Some recent construction may be putting this little piece of green in danger.

Too much to do too little time as always. I was to take Suyens Super boo boo to have the oll changed. However, the mechanic is full up, so I had to reschedule it. Suyen rescheduled it for tomorrow at 10. I've got to get up early to hep parents with their fridge. They are taking it back as it doesn't woik. I dropped Suyen off at her woik and drove her car to Warrensburg to pick up Tima's records. I stopped downtown first and went to the antique store. I then went to Alpine and got Tima's records. I asked about the kennel there. It is cheap but for two weeks all poor Tima will have is a 7 foot enclosed run. I et Perry Fosters and headed downtown. I waited til after 8 for a train, which was Amtrak and was late. I went by the Teehaus, and it was closed. Then, in my rearview mirror Amtrak showed up. Ooops. I drove to YJ's. I had a mint steamer and slice of cherry pie with whipped cream. I picked up Suyen about 23:00 and headed homo.

Today we got up -- Suyen went to HIV. I took down some of the decorations. I'm not sure when you are supposed to do it, but I've heard it is after Three Kings day, which was Sunday. We et a hamburger potatoes combination that Suyen whipped up. We headed out to woik. I've been working hard on getting caught up on my blogs. I compressed "Twelve Months in Twelve Minutes" and got it on my thumb drive, which I promptly forgot today. It is very cold and has been since Saturday night. At woik, I went to check on my car. Fritz wants to take it to have a second opinion on it. Tess and I headed to south Kansas City on a story on renters who are being evicted because their landlord wasn't making house payments and now the house is being repo'd. There were no lives tonight as the news went on late due to a game. Suyen and I went homo late and we watched the boob tube. I realized in an attempt to clean out the hard drive on my imac, I blew out the rest of december, so unless I want to reload that, there will be no timelapses from the 19th on. Ooops.

22:05
Yesterday I attended the wake of a jazz musician I didn't know. I shot it for my Legacy Project. Today I took Tima to Dr. Means to have her stitches removed. Dr. Means told me that the tumor he removed on the 5th is cancerous. We have to watch Tima to see if it returns. On the way out, I noticed a large crowd in the Teehaus. I parked and went inside. I walked to the bar thinking I might be barging in on a private party. Sandy was there and gave me a hug and told me she was glad I made it. She told me Peggy had passed away. It was a very bitter sweet melancolny wake. I talked with people I haven't seen in years and talked with Wayne about old memories. The highlight was when bagpipers came in and played. I didn't want to bring in my camera until I saw people trying to get video with their phones and still cameras of the bagpipers. I will edit and upload to youtube soon. It is just happenstance that I came to the wake. My big fear was always that I would find the Teehaus gone permanently and that Peggy passed without my knowing. Somehow, neither happened. I called Mark and Ti to tell them the news.

Into the fray:

Things are getting busy from here until new beers probably. First off, there is an ice storm predicted for today. They keep hedging back on the forcast so I hope they are right and we get nothing much. I'm getting ready to shoot, hopefully a Jazz funeral at a secret location for James Arthur Bell. I hope I can without trouble. I am hoping to add to my collection of visions and scenes for the Legacy Project that I am running. I just came from Wife's Enemy number 2, otherwise known as Surplus Exchange. They got a truckload of plants in nice planters. Unfortunately they froze last night and they are tropical plants. They are all drooping. I know Suyen would be interested in at least the planters. I got one that was sitting on a a/v cart that I am interested in. I got the a/v cart and another a/v cart. They have lockdown chains which I need for the Christmas cantata we plan to shoot at Redemptorist. This is a big project that I plan on using four cameras and shooting isolated in SD. I have noooo time to do it as it happens an hour after I get off work. I have to set up the cables and quad monitor and mixer. I was thinking of doing it tonight, but I think I will do it Sunday afternoon and evening. Tima has to go have her stitches removed in Warrensburg at Dr. Means'. However with the weather being unpredictable, I wiil try for tomorrow. Oh, and there's Xmess shopping.

He said the lump on her breast is probably a tumor and that I could remove it tonight. So I left Tima there. I et at Heroes, shot vid of Amtrak coming in on time at the depot, and got vid of the Bluegrass band at the Teehaus. I had Lemon Grass tea. I then went homo.

We got up at 09:30. Suyen woiked on the bills. I started untangling and testing xmas lights. It is the same thing every year -- less and less lights work and we vow to toss them out and replace them with led lights. We have 6 strings that don't or halfway work, and 3 strings that do work. We plan on only decorating the xmess looking tree and putting candles in the windows. I set up the tree. Our angel doesn't light anymore:( I've been experimenting with 16:9. Youtube went to a 16:9 window last night, which is exciting. I found this helpful...

The American Automotive reform plan in a nutshell.

*It is open to all comers.
*Company's must be 100 % American owned and operated
*It will come in the form of a contract
*The contract will be to build a line of automobiles for government service
*The cars must be able to go 20 years or more with minimal maintenance and expense
*The cars must be efficient
*The cars must be cost effective to purchase and to own
*Part of the contract will go to build brand new factories with effective efficient management and workforce
*Any city or town that presently or in the past 300 years has ever been involved in automobile manufacturing cannot be a part of the contract
*ALL members of upper management of any present auto manufacturer canot participate in these contracts
*To participate, if an already existing company, if they pay out a bonus to any upper management person including stock options, etc. they will not be able to participate. They must break all contracts with upper management if they wish to participate.
*The present american corporate culture or marketing strategy for automotive manufacture needs to be scrapped and rebuilt from the ground up. No company that subscribes to the present paradigm can participate
*The cars will be offered to the US government for transportation, police, military and other governmental work at a reduced price until the contracts are paid off in full.
*The public will be offered a new line of cars that are the best in the world, for nothing more than what they are paying in the present market.

This is the Coates House. It was once a luxury hotel built by Kersey Coates across from his Opera house. He used to bring the biggest stars in from the east coast in the last half of the 1800's. There was a tunnel built from his hotel, where his famous guests would stay, to his opera house where they were to perform. That way they could get across the street without dealing with the paparazi of the time. The Hotel, as well as Quality Hill to the west of here, also built by Kersey Coates, declined. By the 1970's, when we moved here, if you went through this area, you definitely were rolling up your windows and locking your doors. Part of the Coates House burned down on January 21, 1978 killing 21 people, most of whoom were homeless or semi-homeless people who were flopping here against the freezing temperatures. That January, we had some of the coldest winter weather on record, with 12 to 15 inches of snow on the ground.

Suyen and I got up late. She drove the Superbooboo to woik and I took it from there. Tima and I went to Goodyear in Blue Springs to have the oil changed. I had them look at the grinding noise the car makes when it turns, but they couldn't find it. I got gas at QT and got pot pies at Bahstahn Mahket for Suyen and I. We et at the MTN breakroom. I went to Yeejis after. Perigrine asked for a ride to 17th and Summit. I then went back to Yeejis and set up the puter and HDV to do some woik.
