Promontory Point Movie

By -
I took this movie with my Casio camera. I've had this camera for several years but I've never tried to post a a video from it. The camera saves the movie in an AVI container with some funky format. I was able to load a Quicktime plugin Perian which lets me view it on my machine. Once I could see it I used the Quicktime Player and AppleScript to export the movie to MPEG-4. This works fine on my machine but I'm not sure about Windows. I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment but I'll fix it if it doesn't show. I also screwed up my video editor (iMovie) so I can't edit the clip so it's coming to you raw!

If you do see the image below, double click to see the movie.

Thanks for the opportunity to experience Utah while you visit. Is that the water of the Salt Lake that we are seeing in front of those amazing snow capped peaks?

Brian --- You're just brilliant! The movie worked great on my PC. I just clicked the image and it started. Now the commentary was "interesting" --- "Corby. Move your head."

I shot a movie of the golf round last Saturday at Lake Arlington Golf Club. After editing, I'm still at 12 minutes and it is too big to load and way too long for the family to endure. I'll go back again and clip some more, but I will not take out Carey's 2' putt.

Worked for me, too. I hope that you are having as great a time as the view. I understand that Corby had lunch with my friend Terry. I am no longer a presenter or attender of the NCTM.

Family Contacts

 Carey called me and asked if I could find the listing of contacts for our family that he created years ago.  I did have a file copy and Carey and I updated it.  I have attached this here in Word and Pages that can be edited for new entries and updates.  There is also a PDF copy.  I added sections for Aunts & Uncles and Cousins.  These sections are missing people and dates, but perhaps I can work with Kristin to fill in some of this.

 When watching the evening news today, I saw an image of coal barges lined up at the docks at the USS Mon Valley Steel Plant.  Of course the news segment was about the White House blocking the sale of USS to Nippon Steel.  My mind wandered to to dad's career at the Robena Prep Plant.  I didn't think that it was still in operation but I searched for more information.  I found that the Robena deep mines closed in 1983, but plant continued to operate until 2017 processing coal from surface mining for Consol Mining.  It seems that reclamation of the site began many years before 2017, most likely mandated by local concerns about environmental damage from seepage from the three large slurry ponds and other surface contamination.  Dad took me out one Sunday afternoon to inspect the dikes and berms around the ponds.  We had to hop into one of the big company trucks to traverse the dirt roads around the site. I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
