This is Too Kewl - 360 Degree Timelapse

John Yettaw

If you're bored, this is one of the most interesting Missouri residents I've read about, but maybe I just like good stories (hint hint to any writers).

Happy Birthday Kelroy!

I didn't know what to get you, so I had this fat guy make you a painting.

Conan will blow up your car

Any cars you want to get rid of? I'm thinking a short film RotA-style might convince some people.

Bill Clinton saves Current reporters!

North Korea pardons US reporters

I'm assuming we bargained for them though, so I'm wondering what we gave Uncle Kim :(

I got a job too..

Since everyone else seems to be getting new jobs (congrats Dee Dee and Kelly) I thought I would go and get me one too. Last week I was offered a job at St. James the Less Catholic School. I will teach teachnology to grades K-8 and some Language Arts to grades 6-8. Also, I will be responsible for helping other teachers to implement the massive amounts of technology this school has into their lessons, and I will have to do the maintanenece on all of the equipment. That last part is the only thing that is a little scary, but the principal knows that I have no expereince with that and there is a person there that will help me learn all of this stuff. With there being so few teaching jobs in Ohio I am very excited!

The best part of this is I get to quit the job I have worked at for eight LONG years! Though I am leagally unable to mention their name on the internet, they have put me and many members of the family though a great deal of crap and I will not miss them! My last day there is August 12 and my first day of school is August 24. I can't wait, but mainly I can't wait for next summer when I don't have to work (that is why people become teachers, right?).

[Kelly.body ToMissouri: airplane];

I'm comin' home for a bit! Mostly to get in Granny and Papa's anniversary picture, but I'm also being summoned for a Japanese festival in St. Louis. I don't know much, but I'm told the mayor of St. L gives out free sake? If it is a fun festival, I'll be sure to make a music video or something.

Also, I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but I got a web programming contract job, so this'll allow me to travel if I want to(wish I got this before the wedding). I plan to have a big post about the job and other Seattle haps as soon as I get around to it. Anyway, here's the current plan.


August 20: land in Kansas City at 8:40 pm
August 20 to 21-24: Spend however many days in Lawrence, KS that is convenient for my mystery ride.
August 21-24: Go to Springland via friendly driver
August 21-24 to Sept 2-4: Springland

Option 1 -
Sept 2-4: Go to Lawrence, KS via friendly driver (will get ride to St. L from someone there)
Option 2 -
Sept 4: Go directly to St. Louis


Sept 4-6: Get free sake from the mayor?
Sept 7: Teleport(magic?) to KC in time for flight at 4pm



Supplies I'm looking for:
Ride from KC to Spfd somwhere between Aug 21 and 24.
Ride from Spfd to Lawrence between Sept 2 and 4 or ride to St. L on Sept 4.
Free meals and gas moneys go wherever they're due!

Though, I've been thinking Greyhound might be a better solution than all this driving. It's about $30 between KC and Spfd. Do you put your luggage under the bus?
