HEY! GUYS ON THE RIVER and WALT, THE BOOK GUY! You're up! You're in my most recent video! Thanks so much for being part of it!

I'm honored to be able to share that my featured video, "From Here to Australia," is also being shown on STRIKE THE BOX (strikethebox.com), a website devoted to fire department personnel tattoos, in their 9/11 section. I'll put a link in the video description to that page on their website. PLEASE keep a good thought for fire department personnel around the world, as any of them may be called upon today to make the ultimate sacrifice.

I've been blessed with friendships across the globe since joining You Tube, but I've discovered family here as well. HazyFirefighter69 (Jason) and his family are family to me now. Jason and I have a strong fire department/brigade connection, and his family and I have established a permanent bond. With that in mind, look for future videos about Australia, as I plan for my journey to meet them in person next year.

Of course, I will still crank out U.S. Civil War videos at a rate that would make a turtle laugh. I need a staff. That's my problem.

Future videos I pray that I can turn out: U.S. Civil War medicine; Flags of the Civil War (featuring a special guest star); T.G.I. Friday's Bartender Bottle Flipping Competition in August of 2008; and whatever else I can film that may be of interest.

I'm on TWITTER by the name of kalacaw; and I've reinstated my personal blog, which can be accessed by clicking on the link below, entitled "KALACAW: Video in Writing." Sometimes I have more to say than can be said in a video.
