Hi Mom, I'm on TV!
Redding's ABC affiliate, KRCR, came by yesterday to do an interview with me
about my Vanishing America Project. It actually went well. I felt good in front of the camera, said what I wanted to say, explained the project well, maintained a neutral ground in the political battle over the environment, and was pleased with the whole process.
Unfortunately, my first time in the spotlight wasn't to be...The Redding News ran my story at 6:30 and 11, but had technical difficulties, so both pieces were cut short... but, I had fun with it, and I'll use the experience to help me improve my technique for the next time.And, I have to admit, I look good on camera! Who'da thought? ;-)
Not much went on yesterday. I caught up on some work, researched information about where to track the Wild Mustang herds, and interviewed Shane (the owner at Rover Hybrids, where we're doing the veggie conversion). It was a busy, but uneventful day.
Today, Shane and I will take some measurements of my RV storage compartments so we can have some custom fuel tanks made, and then he's going to teach me to weld! (We should probably have the local fire department on hand for this one...)
Tomorrow, I head up to Weed (population 3300) with a friend to do some exploring.
And, Monday, I have my very first interview scheduled with Redding's local ABC news affiliate, KRCR!
