Lawrence Fire

I received a phone call from the Lawrence Police Department concerning my video of the fire. If this is news to you, back in October there was an arson which took the lives of 3 people in a Lawrence Kansas apartment complex. The detective was very pleased with the video, and jotted down some information from me. He also thanked Darin and I for our contributions and the video might be used as evidence in the case against the scum that killed those innocent people. He said the video displayed a lot of emotion (especially from myself), and I assume that will be a dagger against him. Glad to know I could assist in helping someone be punished for such a horrendous crime against life and property. Hope God writes this down in his book of many circumstances where I have helped to save lives. (I helped a kid that fell four stories from the KU dorms stay awake while paramedics arrived 4 years ago.) I seem to always be in the right place (or the wrong place) at the right time. In one week in 99, I saw three people die right in front of me on 3 consecutive days. Death is something I'm no stranger too.

When that piece of paper is read to me in a couple of months, friends will know already know the outcome and my thoughts. I can't wait for Spring, that's if it ever makes it here.

More snow

And I express the topic as in "I'm not amused." I think here in Olathe we received 2-3 inches. Enough to cause some minor wrecks, ice the highways, and dirty up the ride. It was a very peaceful snow however, and I enjoyed watching it fall. Don't have any pictures up yet, left the cam at Darin's. argghhhh. On Friday, I witnessed a rather large sundog as sunset approached, and once again, I was without the camera. I tried to call Darin and Mike Peregrine to inform them of the situation, but no luck. Such a relaxing sight on my way to Lawrence, and it helped relax the nerves of the ridiculous traffic. It's almost Christmas, and the next thing you know it's March, and the chase season begins (maybe), and I will savor the day we get back out on the open road.

Here is a photo I shot with the old camera on June 12th near Hamlin Texas. Missed the tornado-fest by an hour, but we still had a great time, and what beautiful structure it exhibited.
