Scottsboro Round III

In this post: Harry Wong, Scottsboro, Meth, Nuclear Plant, TVA,

First thing we get is actually a little story about a teacher conference. This Huntsville 501(3)c non-profit org aparently puts one on every year. This coming week about 1/3 of Huntsville area teachers will learn techniques on how to teach better...and there will be a lecture by (no joke people...serious) a Mr. Harry Wong...apparently THE stuff when it comes to helping teachers...hasn't made a new video in 10 years they tell us but will bring in cameras and the whole 9 to Huntsville! WOW big stuff! He's used in someodd many countrys and all across the US.

Ok so then the producer wants Justin an I to head to Scottsboro again and beat this dead horse (we both agree that it, like so many other stories before it, is verging on soap opera-ish, but there seriously isn't anything going on on Sundays at all)..we got a Harry Wong and a 4 day old ATTEMPTED murder scene, and that's about it

but actually when we got out there they were doing what they call first monday. they set up tables, basically a little flea market around the court house the first monday of each month and the weekend before..been doing it for over 100 years!! wow..and so the angle was that this on Wed didn't effect them at all...

Then we had to find the alleged shooter's ex-wife's house (seriously its a messed up story, she treatened a judge and so is being held on terrorist charges...I know rediculous, has a higher bond than her former husband who SHOT 2 people, what up justice system?)

To get her mugshot we go to the Jackson County Jail where I find this sitting in the parking lot:



this is the first one I've ever seen...you know you got meth problems when you have a roving meth lab buster..wow they say it's bad in the rural areas around here, I now believe them!

Also in finding her house we passed by the TVA's "nucular" plant :)
one of two in Alabama, actually..there's farley's near Dothan as well generating together about 24% of Alabama's total power needs..still coal get 50+..dang polluting like crazy will coal. Nevertheless As of January 1, 2005, Alabama ranked 5th among the 31 States with nuclear capacity. so that's pretty good at least

here's a shot I took and a link to it on the official TVA site
...which makes me wonder which tree or cow the 3rd not currently in use reactor is hiding under...speaking of cow, wow those cows give it a hugeness perspective! and talk about irradiated beef! ok I'm stopping this post before anymore bad jokes come out!
