Drove up to Seattle today with Jeremiah. We went downtown and visited the Space Needle. after that we ate lunch in Pike St. Public Market and then went north to Everett where we are staying over night with my Uncle Terry and his family.

This is my good buddy Thadius. We were best buddies to back in San Francisco for several years. He acted as the host of my public access TV show for a couple years as well. When I moved to L.A. he ended up moving to Portland a year later. So since I was in the area I decided to stop by and visit. This is a photo of him outside his house.

en route from Sacramento to Portland along I-5. This is a few miles south of the California/Oregon border also known as the state of Jefferson. I took this picture because I used to listen to this band named Hilt. on the cover of one of thier albums they had a photograph of this road sign.

Started vacation today. Went to work in the morning and right after got on the road going up north. I'm going to take 2 weeks off and go up to Portland, OR to spend time with my son Jeremiah. this photo was taken along I-5 on my way to my parents house in Sacramento where I'll stay the first night

Big news day today. Today was a protest againts the anti illigal immigrant law going before congress I believe it's ar 4413 or something like that. anyway there was a huge march on downtown L.A. with over half a million participants. I was assigned to a anchor named Rubin who has a news show on Telemundo called "En Contexto". We walked the route with the people. The people went crazy about Rubin treating him like a celebrity and leader of the people. His show is political but covers many immigrantion issues. As we made it through the crowd people would shout out his name and yell Telemundo or En Contexto and cheered him on. There were so many people there, I've litterally never seen so many in my life.

Went to Orange county to shoot interview for Ruben of "En Contexto". Interviewed man who was janitor in North Tower of World Trade Center. He had master key to stairwell doors and helped the firefighters. is rumored to be last person to leave tower alive. He claims there was an explosion in the basement of the tower moments prior to plane hitting the building. Supports idea of conspiracy by U.S. government to bring down the world trade center in order to pass the patriot act and go to war to make big profits in oil and other business investments.

Driving to the Sessions West casting studios I always pass this cadillac mechanic on Ocean Park blvd. today they had a Ghost Busters car on site.

Home explosion in the Downey/Bellflower area. this guy made his own fireworks and would set them off in his nieghborhood. Basically what happened is he dropped a cigarrette in his gun powder and ran to escape the explosion. It blew half his house into the street. His family was still in the house when it happened. They were not injured.

While in west L.A. covering a story on indiginous people running across the country in order to protest anti-immigration i ran into this guy with a rabbit.
