America is big with a wide variety of places ranging from beautiful to historical to whimsical. During my travels across America, I am going to take you to lots of these places. We'll visit everything from some of the best known spots to some places which aren't on many maps. There is a lot of variety in America. Hi, I'm Phil Konstantin. My background is just about as diverse as this country. I've helped to run the computers in Mission Control at NASA during the Moon landings. I've been a California Highway Patrol officer, an author of lots of magazine and newspaper article and a couple of books, a TV reporter, I'm even a member of the Cherokee Nation. and lots more. I hope to use some of my inside knowledge to help take you to some of the most interesting places & tell you interesting stories - Check "Playlists" for videos by category. "Raw Video" means video which has not been edited or altered in any way. Some of them have no sounds. In others, you can only hear my helicopter.
He use to do traffics check reports on abc 10 news KGTV SAN DIEGO CA….. 1:48 correction that’s the very beautiful and extremely talented Melissa Mecija not Pat Brown… Pat Brown is an American weather reporter.. great upload and thanks for the years of service to the greater San Diego County Community.
Man,,,,, theres no way MSS could recover with Ti. MCGraw. Even the Osmonds had an extremely better sound. Ever heard Tim live? So you know he had the best of gimmics being produced behind his real sound. But to everyone we knew FAME was heading south only to grasp on to Rick Halls dying ship! But what a ceremonie.
On a personal note, I was hoping for a little more information as far the history of this location. I understand there are buildings at the bottom of this body of water that I can't seem to shake curiosity for. I've learned of more found here, but those will stay as the unmentionable.
I'm from Houston and I'm a friend of Penny thanks to her my friend channels my mother who visits daily with poetry and music to remind me about our whole reason for existence is to give love and receive love possibly love creates the universe Mom says how many times do I have to tell you Penny explain the same thing unconditional love humanitarianism peace open mind forgiveness and appreciation that God gives us joy courage and peace.. I'm also a friend of Marvin Zindler ❤️🙏❤️🎵
Penny was a gift to the world, even if you don't count the psychic side of her life. Marvin sure was a character. I interviewed him for an hour at my radio station near downtown back in the 1970s. He came in full TV makeup. I don't know if he had something happening just after the interview, or if he was just vain that way. Regardless of his unusual qualities, he did help lots of people.
In 1979 Jack and Peggy came to Baltimore in that aircraft. I had the shop on Martin State Airport. The generator was not generator. He came to me, I was 26 (I looked 16) with an extensive background in radial engines. I ask if he’d like for me to troubleshoot it. No, I have a voltage regulator coming … could you change it. Yes. The next day Jack brought me the regulator. I changed it …. Still not charging! Now can I troubleshoot it? Yes he said. Within 5 minutes I found the problem ( which I suspected all along). The little field exciting wire to make it generate was broken at the cannon plug. I fixed that and was immediately their hero. Too funny!
Thanks for the note. I will be doing a different video made up mostly of still photos. Almost every time I stepped farther away in order to get an entire vehicle in the recording, someone stepped in front of me.
your history of blessing is right on except the selling property to the chek emergats my family was the first family in blessing we were related to the pierce by marriage yes the pierce family did donate the property to the railroad to bring the train to town and the post office is the reason for the name change my family has been in texas since 1836
Love seeing this. My Dad was Museum Curator there in 1952-53, I was born in Morehead. Dad next went to WestPoint, then Truman Library etc. Great time enjoying video.
Growing up in El Paso, Tx we went to White Sands frequently as it was our "beach" get away. Back then I didn't appreciate this history associated with the site.
It does make for an interesting, and enormous, beach. I've seen White Sands many times from 35,000 feet flying from/to California and Texas. An astronaut friend Jack Lousma said he enjoyed landing there in an early space shuttle flight. I also liked the large tower in the sands so you could find your way back again.
W is a vowel in the Welsh language, as is Y. Welsh doesn't have the letters J, K, Q, V, X, Z in the alphabet, but we do have DD (a hard th sound like in "the", th has a soft sound like in "theatre"), FF (soft f sound like in "fear", a single f sounds like a hard v like in "van"), LL this one is too hard to describe by text.
Thanks for the info. Cherokee (part of my ancestry) uses the Greek pronunciations to do the English phonetics pronunciations. So, similar to Welsh, the letters do not necessarily match the standard English pronunciations.
@@TravelsWithPhil In Welsh, taxi would be written as tacsi, ambulance would be ambiwlans. Where English uses a "k", Welsh would use a "c", it's never pronounced as an "s" sound.
@TravelsWithPhil You didn't include Penistone, Fingringhoe, Shitterton, Six Mile Bottom, Twatt, Upper Dicker, Crapstone, Old Sodbury, Chipping Sodbury, Slaggyford, there are probably more - real towns.
I wrote a whole comment about Dull and Boring as I live near Dull. I deleted it once I realised you had it in your video However, I’m from the south of England, I grew up near Liphook (it’s pronounced Lip-uk) but I went to school in a place called Cocking.
You wer right and wrong. You were right that you pronounced almost everything incorrectly, and wrong about the speed limits being kilometers per hour. The UK is an uneasy mix of metric and imperial (the original imperial not American imperial) measurements. As such it's miles in the UK not kilometers.
@TravelsWithPhil Gloucester is pronounced Gloster, Leominster is pronounced Lemster, Godmanchester is pronounced Gumster, Penistone is pronounced Pen-is-tun.
@@TravelsWithPhil That depends on where you're from, accents can vary widely just a few miles appart. Shrewsbury is pronounced as you see it on one side of the river, on the other side it's pronounced Shrowsbury.
Very interesting place, false kiva is another mysterious spot really close to upheaval dome. So many amazing sights to see in canyon lands. Utah is my favorite place to be I think about it every day.
