This week started off with a bang. Literally. Tony and I were sent out to the "suspicious package" on the railroad bridge. Zack was already at the command post on Miami Street so Tony and I figured we would try and find a spot to actually see the bridge. After climbing over train cars near Kuhlman Drive, we realized we were on CSX property and quickly left. While we were heading to the Jeep, we heard a loud bang. It was just like you see in the movies where all the birds fly off the trees. We both looked at each other and started running towards the bang. Which, in retrospect, might not have been the brightest idea. Anywho, we later learned that the Bomb Squad blew up the suspicious package just to be sure. It was kinda scary for a minute though. Then later in the week Alexis and I went out to the house fire on Detroit Avenue. It actually spread to the house next-door. It all started because a five-year-old was playing with a lighter. We went back later for our live shot and the house had already been demolished by the city. It's sad to think these people woke up that morning in their house and never thought it would be a pile of wood and ash by the end of the day. A busy and humid week.

Well, this was another week of strange weather. It started off super hot and humid. Like, that unbearable humid where it feels like you're swallowing air. Yeah, that's humid. And then on Thursday around 5:30pm a "cold" front came through and cooled down the world. Then the weather was perfect. Anywho, this week I did stories on everything from TPS worries to the FedEx situation to an accident on Monroe and Michigan where the car's door was wedged into the SUV's front grill. Everyone was okay though. Jennifer Jarrell and I even went out to Metamora to interview a family regarding Linda Cook, the Sylvania attorney who was indicted for stealing from a client and tampering with records. On Monday, Tony and I got to walk along the "floor" of the Maumee River and interview some fishermen. Good times. Enjoy the pics.

Kumon

Created by Japanese educator Toru Kumon, The Kumon Method is one of the largest math and language educational systems in the world. Kristian and I spent most of the day at Kumon in Perrysburg learning about this new educational strategy.

Man, talk about a headache. This week started off hotter than the dickens and then ended actually kinda chilly. Yeah, I said chilly. And dickens. I love it when my head expands and contracts so quickly. The dashboard thermometer in my work Jeep actually read 101 degrees at one point. Anywho, this was a potpourri of a news week. Everything from a press conference regarding housing foreclosures to senior citizens fishing at Oak Openings. Oh, and "The Jamie Farr" (as we refer to it) started this week. Spent a few live shots out there on the 'ol pool deck. Tony and I went out to the 13th hole to shoot a little something. Go ahead, check your maps. It's the hole in the very very back of the course, furthest away from the clubhouse. I did end up snagging a couple chocolate chip cookies from the media room. They definitely treat the media right at "The Farr". We also shot another TnT episode. If you know what a Flux Capacitor is, you should check it out. If you don't know what one is, check it out anyways. Enjoy the pics.

Not much to really discuss this week. It's funny, by the time I get to Friday, I can't remember what I did on Monday. I can't actually remember what I ate for breakfast this morning. Cereal, I'm sure. But what kind...
Does anyone remember Croonchy Stars cereal? Back in the late 80's The Swedish Chef from The Muppets had his own cereal. I miss all those silly cereals we grew up with. Like the much-forgotten Fruit Brute or Yummy Mummy. Those were the brothers of Frankenberry, Count Chocula, and Boo Berry. Bork bork everybody. Bork bork.
