Again, Hi -Def so Hit this link, HQ button and full screen buttons in bottom right of your Youtube viewer. Then pause to load fully. Then play. (Do you get tired of hearing those instructions.)
I also have great pictures of the houses going across the Trinity River bridge I will post later.

They set up for this earlier today. If I had to speculate, they tied up the parking lots an extra week day in anticipation of severe weather tonight.
I am glad they are going to have the best weather, ever the next few days. (Clean air, cool, sunny after morning.) My camera batteries are charging!

These people cannot be stopped. Raining. Cold. Foggy. And they are out with their candles and flashlights walking for their cause. Any other cause would have called it off. A really special event each year. Different color balloons if you are a cancer survivor or family member of one or a loved one died of cancer. Very emotional down there.

Today (Friday) is the 92.1 Country Legends and then Saturday (Oh my gosh, Halloween) is the huge Ranch Bash Concert.
I am OK with Country Music. It is my second choice. (I listen to the Edge mostly) I am even more OK with the best Country. This concert series could make a Country fan out of me. Each year I love it. Some big names and medium names. No small names. And a crowd the knows the words to EVERY song. Fun to watch. Fun to listen too. Will be a nice weekend. I will like have my doors open to sing along. (Just kidding, not to scare you away.)

Not sure if by protesting Taser's they want more or less use of deadly force. (In many cases lead bullets are the alternative.) Not to say there are not Taser problems. Pretty much anything you do to subdue somebody is going to have a downside.
What you see in this picture is the complete crowd of marchers. (i.e. not hundreds behind the buildings.) I would think more Fort Worth residents would have Put options on taser stocks than this. (Benefit from the price of their stock going down.)

Woke up this morning to KVIL all Christmas and the sound of a crane rolling into Sundance Square to erect a grand Christmas Tree. I have just enough little boy left in me to jump up and down for a minute. And then get back to work.
I see the Channel 8 truck on the left. Was on this morning'e news show.

Yes, those are the two worst days in Fort Worth alright. I do hate the promotion of violence and pathetically rude loud motorcycles. I guess I hate them equally. I will have both vanished from the state before my time on earth is finished. Stand-by!

I took a million pics I will post elsewhere, but my attention has been focused on a video I made of the event. I took over 2 hours of movies from my balcony and then compressed it all to 2 minutes. I think it is terribly fascinating. If you can spare 2 minutes DO TAKE A LOOK.
Set your Youtube video to high def. At least 480 from the little setting at the bottom. Also hit the full screen button. (Arrows.)
The quality is not great as with my software I had to compress twice to get it down to 2 minutes. I think it was worth it...

Why thank you!
The music is some of the pre-packaged stuff that comes from I-movie Mac stuff.
My wife used some James Taylor music for a video she did for charity work. (A fort Worth old folks home). We got an e-mail from Sony to say that was their music. Obviously they have some kind of electronic sniffer looking for their music. We could either, A. keep using the music but allow their Sony adds to be a part of it or, B. Stop using their music. Yikes... (We switched to Mac Music)

I cannot count the number of times I've had people tell me how much they prefer Fort Worth over any of the other cities close by for when it comes to family outings, dates or just meeting up with friends for an evening out.

I am a weather nut. I guess I am generally a nut, but also a weather nut. Yesterday is a day I remember for this. If I have to find something positive about August 7th in the heat, here it is. It is the first day of the year that there is a break in temperature averages. On August 7th, the average temperature drops 1°. Before you quote me the averages you saw on the news, let me clarify the stat. It is the average temp. Not the average High or the average low, but average of the day. (the average of 24 hourly readings) I am telling this to my wife on our walk to Montgomery Plaza yesterday at 5pm. She gave me the "now if that isn't a glass half full" remark in this heat... The next great weather stat is on August 14 when the average high drops 1°. Then a few days later the average low drops 1° and then we are off to the races. Pretty quickly in the second half of August the averages start falling quickly. The end of August is usually 4° cooler than the beginning of August. I always figure the day "Least likely to be cold" is July 27th. The day most likely to be 150° is probably around June 30th. (Before the Sun is too far South) Of course it was June 26th and June 27th in 1980 that we had our pair of 113° days. The summer of 1980 I was a full time college student and a full time tire buster at JC Penney at Red Bird Mall in Dallas. I worked in a non air-conditioned space with a tin roof on hot cars. I lived in my first house in Grand Prairie. I had no air conditioning because my system had a freon leak and I could not afford to fix it. Or pay for A/C electricity. (Was blowing my money on tuition and food) So I burned that summer. Oh ya. I only had a little motorcycle for transportation. (Brutal when it is over 105 or so.) 1980 sucked.

I am ready for fall. It has been to hot for me this summer. So what's the deal with these people and the mats? Don't they know they can do that indoors?

Maybe they couldn't afford AC either...? Was working in my shop yesterday, when it hit 103.5 I called it a day.
That time of day and you roll a nice soft mat out like that, I'm thinking "nap time!"

Great picture Brian - using it as my new computer background shot!
Thank you. And thank you Mike. It is a great cause. It is fun watching all the volunteers coming together. People that really know what they are doing. People that don't know any more than I do. And all between. Really, I saw some volunteers that were pretty stinking awkward with a hammer but with good supervision it all works. I will be taking my video of them moving the house out again this year. (and then speed up to 1 minute or so.) Was a popular Youtube last year. (By popular, I mean popular for my videos witch average like 6 views each) The moving company last year loved the video and got me to send them a hi-res DVD of the action. Training video?
Anyway, when I post the video, act surprised...

Today is the annual Flying Saucer Beer Festival in Sundance Square. (Sat 10-2-10) Here is a shot of them setting up. Free admission but 20 bucks buys you a card to sample the beers. Personally I can't remember a beer that I didn't like.

I took a 60 second video of the action with my 5D Mk II. (Hand held stuff. Hold the international film awards) But kind of fun. Used my 70-200mm lens.
You can watch in any resolution but the highest, 1080p takes like 5 minutes to download. I usually go full screen with 720. (Pause it while it loads)
