This Is What I Think.

Today is 09/04/2025

That fat slob they got today reading the tv news script prompter certainly does not give a damn about anything other than his pathetic life, just like the rest of you.

I think they're laughing at him.

For a while now, I have often viewed those tv-advertisements for Spokane Transit and their upcoming deployment of new double-decker metro transit buses. That video might be available somewhere on the internet. Have not tried to find it. Don't really care.

Today, just moments ago, I finally noticed the calendar-date that is briefly flashed on the screen during the advertisement video and I saw 9/20/2025 so I guess that is the day it becomes available in the city. Could be some sort of decoy, with their continued harmful intent.

The woman says "Wow" so that makes sense I will find something if I look closer.

Not impressed.

I didn't even notice that shop on that first day I walked along that sidewalk on Sprague Avenue in downtown Spokane.

I had never before walked along that area of the city until that day 15 December 2017.

In the heavy snowfall, having got off the metro bus a few moments earlier, I was alert mainly to only the other pedestrians on the sidewalk near me and to the street signs pointing me to my destination, all new to me that day as I walked through the city.

I walked along there and suddenly, and in what seemed to be very slow motion, my foot skidded along the sidewalk, and I found myself in a kneeling position with one knee on the sidewalk. My right hand thrust out to a railing to help me return to an upright walking position.

A few hours later is when I first discovered the statue.

I didn't even notice Spaceman Coffee that first day. That day 15 December 2017 I got back home and thinking about the statue I had first discovered that day I decided to look closer at that area of the city, several blocks away from the statue, and that was when I noticed the Google images of the photography shop and that photography studio had a spacesuit in the lobby. I traveled back there on 25 December 2017 and that was when I discovered Spaceman Coffee.

God, how I loved - love - that car.

I don't know what a Porsche costs but I am aware it costs a lot more than that 1990 Mazda RX-7 I "remember" owning.

I am certain the Porsche was also a great deal more of a high-performance automobile but I didn't care. I loved that car.

City dedicates statue

By KAREN D. SMITH

The Amarillo Globe-News

An Amarillo statue of astronaut Rick Husband, dedicated Saturday, and a Lubbock statue of astronaut Willie McCool, could become two points in a larger effort for a Texas Panhandle memorial to the entire Columbia space shuttle crew.

Husband's 9-year-old son, Matthew, pulled the cord Saturday to release the drape covering the 7 1/2-foot bronze sculpture of Husband before a crowd of about 400 people.

Those gathered at the new Rick Husband Memorial Plaza, between Amarillo City Hall and the Civic Center Grand Plaza, included family members, NASA astronauts Steve Lindsay and Scott Parazynski, city and Center City of Amarillo officials and donors.

"I never, in my wildest dreams, would've thought there would be such a celebration of Rick's life, and I'm sure Rick would be taken aback, as well, the astronaut's brother, Keith Husband of Phoenix, said in a speech in which he struggled, at times, to contain his emotions.

"Part of the spotlight that was shining on Rick now shines on the family. ... Trying to find closure has been difficult. ... Rick was true to Amarillo. He never forgot where he came from. He loved this city. He loved the people. It's great to see Amarillo being true to Rick."

The statue is a duplicate - with modifications for outdoor showing - of a first bronze of Husband dedicated Jan. 19 at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport.

Husband family members expressed appreciation after the ceremony.

"I've always felt like the people in Amarillo are very special and caring, but the last year and a half has confirmed everything I knew about Amarillo," said Evelyn Husband's mother, Jean Neely of Amarillo.

Rotary breaks ground on park fountain

By Hilary Kraus

The seed was planted nearly 30 years ago, but it wasn’t until Friday that city and Rotary Club officials broke ground on the Rotary Fountain in Riverfront Park.

Beneath an intermittent drizzle, the group gathered on a three-quarter-acre site that will be transformed into a $1.25 million interactive water fountain and plaza. It is scheduled to open in late May 2005, in time for the Northwest district Rotary conference.

Project designer Bob Perron was among those who watched as the first holes were dug into the cold, wet ground by Mayor Jim West, Dan Cadagan, Rotary Foundation project committee chairman, and other dignitaries. Perron, designer of Riverfront Park, had the vision of an elaborate entrance fountain in 1975.”There was not enough money in the budget then,” Perron said.

Perron, a resident of Portland and architect of that city’s Salmon Street Spring, said the idea resurfaced about 2½ years ago. The Rotary Club wanted to make a major contribution to the city.

The fountain and plaza are being funded by a public-private partnership between the Spokane Park Board and the Downtown Spokane Rotary Club 21. The fundraising has reached 96 percent of the needed amount, thanks to 415 donors, including 31 who each gave more than $5,000.

“This is by far the most significant project we have ever taken on,” Nancy Kennedy, Club 21 president said during the formal ceremony.

The fountain and plaza will bring a radically different look to the entrance of the park. It will cover an area from the Spokane River to Spokane Falls Boulevard on the south border and from the carousel to the “Christmas tree” on the west edge.

Harold Balazs, commissioned as the sculptor, has designed a work that will tell the story of the Spokane Falls and its relationship to native people.

“We were interested in a fountain that reflected in the history of the community,” said Perron, who has worked with Balazs on other architectural projects.

But unlike Perron’s original idea – sculptured children holding hands in water – the flat-deck Rotary Fountain will be run by computer and will be constantly changing. It will have about 140 water jets, sprays, misters, ground hugging fog and other features. It will stand on five stainless columns that are 24 feet high.

The fountain will be open for anyone who wants to play in the water, and will operate from 6 a.m. until midnight from mid-spring to mid-fall, temperature permitting. The fountain may be operated in winter with the mist creating ice formations.

Annual maintenance is estimated between $20,000 and $25,000, Cadagan said. Power alone would cost about $12,000 a year.

Perron said most of the construction is underground piping, which can be done in winter.

“This is going to be one of those things that brings ‘Wow!’ to the city,” West said.

KIRK: What is our target in time?

SPOCK: Late twentieth century.

KIRK: Surely you can be more specific.

SPOCK: Not with this equipment. I have had to programme some of the variables from memory.

KIRK: What are some of the variables?

SPOCK: Availability of fuel components, mass of the vessel through a time continuum, and the probable location of humpback whales, in this case, the Pacific basin.

KIRK: You've programmed that from memory?

SPOCK: I have.
