I'm with Dave D. We are to do the edumacation folo. The idea is to get some views from people on the street and to maybe get somebody on the KCMO School Board to react. However, the board doesn't want to talk. We cruised all over trying to find voters who would speak. However, we ended up at the school board waiting for the superintendant to talk to us.

Thursday 8 November 2007 13:43:27
My first stop on my day off was Surplus Exchange. They didn't have too much for me today.
Thursday 8 November 2007 13:48:44
I drove through the west bottoms to get to I-35 and south. I used to live in that building off to the left in 2001.
2007:11:08 13:49:41
he architecture in the west bottoms can be breathtaking.
2007:11:08 13:51:22
Heading up the 12th street bridge to get onto I-35 south, there is a good view of the KC skyline from here.
2007:11:08 14:06:16
On Metcalf south, I'm attempting to snap a picture of the googie White Haven Motor Lodge sign.
2007:11:08 14:31:35
A better vantage of the sign can be seen as you head north on Metcalf.
Thursday 8 November 2007 14:32:42
There are some neat examples of googie on Metcalf. I think many of these buildings were completed in the mid 60's at the end of the googie era. There used to be the Glenwood Theater, which was torn down in the late 90's. It was a great example of googie. It's sign was saved and placed at the Glenwood Arts theater in the Metcalf Mall. However, I have heard the mall is getting torn down including the theaters. However, I think the sign will be spared yet again.
2007:11:08 14:33:26
OK, now this is dissappointing. I beleive they are in the process of ripping off the old facade of the old modernisitic Katz drugstore. I have heard they are going to replace it with generic back lit signage. Too bad. More mid-century modern gone bye bye.
2007:11:08 14:34:29
In the back of the truck is parts of the old facade which is being ripped off the building.
Thursday 8 November 2007 14:35:43
They haven't destroyed the south side of the building yet.
2007:11:08 14:57:24
Cruising up Southwest boulevard in Kansas City, missouri.

There is some sort of road destruction going on on the Westside.

Zzzz. I had a wierd dream when Suyen was leaving for woik. I dreamt a demon made of carbon and looking like a blackened skeleton was sitting on my shoulder. He was not a disembodied spirit so to speak, but a manifestaion of pure evil made into a life force of pure will dispatched to work as a prankster, and omen. I could feel it on my shoulder, and when I grabbed it, it had the consistancy of bacon (only not greasy) and dissapated to nothing in a a dusty crumbly crackly mass. I could sense Suyen in the room, and I told the demon that he was busted, that my wife was walking in and would see him. She woke me up saying I was talking in my sleep. I tried to tell her there was an evil demon on my shoulder. Also, later when I was waking at noon, I had a dream that I was offered a job in a small town in the west or southwest with a six figure salary running a tv operation for WGN.
12:00 - 15:00
I got up. I'm feeling worse -- scratchy throat, real tired feeling. shook a tower. Then I dressed, and took Tima out with me. I headed to Surplus Exchange. Then I Went to Micro Center. I got a Lacie DVD burner. Then I headed to YJ's.

16:00 - 19:00
We drove to Lawrence. We had a huge argument on the way -- we took K-10. The argument was about the business and getting a working dvd burner. We stopped at that surplus place on the way in -- the one next to Orcheln. I got a gutter cleaning attachment. We went to the Bourgeois Pig. boB was there waiting on us. He showed us the car he bought -- a Volvo
