Made the early morning trek up to Philly to see this go down. I got there about an hour before it went down and staked out a spot. I was the first person on the block but even minutes after I got there people began to pour into the streets. I got a better spot for my video camera than even the lady from Controlled Demolition International (the people bringing down the stack) did. She was probably pissed. They did a poor job of giving people a signal when this was going to go down. The news said 7:30. Than the CDI lady said 7:45. It actually went down around 7:47. They usually let off a siren or something when it is about to happen but they didn't do anything. My video camera was acting up about 6 seconds before this happened and thankfully it started filming right at this second. I didn't even have to edit this video at all. It was perfect timing...



While I was waiting I saw something that looked like a giant rat go under this Jeep. Some people and I walked over to take a look. We saw it was an opossum. Later on the opossum walked across the street through the crowd of people and dug under the fence and started walking towards the implosion. I don't think he even made it to the tracks but wherever he was I'm sure he got a rude awakening.

I've tried a few times to sell this on ebay to no avail, so I'm trying some more basic ways to sell this. The item is brand new... however... the box was opened and the ink cartridges were installed. it was connected to a pc but never used. my circumstances changed and I no longer needed it. So I'm offering it for sale. It's $130 free S&H. it retailed for $200, so I think this is quite a good deal. Below is an item description from Canon. If interested, I take paypal, or a check once it clears. Money order is also ok. Local delivery is an option, and I'll probably knock something off in that case.

I could be watching Star Trek: The Motion Picture on DVD right now.

I spend some of my time exploring Oak Hill Cemetery in Evansville, Indiana. Every time I come back I find something new and it is always beautiful there.

There is a willow hanging over a koi pond and a picnic table in this cemetery. This place never fails to inspire me.

Wisps of willow leaves fall into the water and spill over the earth, sweeping over the entire place, saving it from time. The tree’s roots twist into the ground, anchoring itself into the heart of sorrow. A koi kisses the surface of the lake and a frog sings a dreamy tune as thousands of stone listeners watch.
I walked to this place by passing through many people, their names etched into stone after stone. Cicadas encase me in an ear blasting sonata. The wind blows like it would anywhere else and the birds sing pretty little songs, but no living man would rake the leaves in this world. No living man would build his life on this land. Here it is always twilight.
Ants run over the picnic table under the arms of the weeping willow tree. Who would picnic here, in this twilit realm?

Who would sit and eat with the dead?
