Hi, this is Jim Bratton with safety radio dot com. Today we're talking with Doyle Tes Doyle runs a website called crane accidents dot com. Mr Tes, there's been a lot in the news recently about crane accidents. What is your background and how did you happen to develop a website dedicated to crane accidents? My background is construction. I've been in since I was a teenager. My dad owned a construction company and I just kind of grew up around it so a chance to learn to operate and I thought that's what I wanted to do. Hi, this is Jim Bratton and welcome to sight and the sound presents today. We've got a couple of my favorites on the show and that's Michael San Rau. Let's jump over to this project, Gemini Week and tell me a little bit about that. Yes. This was sort of interesting in backing up a little bit the origins of lightning and, and what we might look at in terms of a preface to a lightning strike. Well, trying to get a preface in the sense of a warning signal very locally without instrumentation is tough. Lightning itself. Question being, does that mean that, that there is that it's valid that you should stay away from high points or high points or points, taller areas are most likely to be that point. That point of conductivity, that's clear. I mean, that's the best advice you can, you can give. Um, however, it's not foolproof and this is one of the really enigmatic things about lightning. There is, for example. Hi, this is Jim Bratton. We caught up with Patrick Wheeler at the January 14th art walk at the proletariat at the opening of his show. Here's our conversation. You've got to walk me through the name and how you got to the name. So let's look at it. Well, the name originally was going to be nothing is perfect because none of my art is perfect. And then I just went to nothing as permanent because that's pretty much what all the artwork is about. It's about life, love, death and ascension. That's a pretty succinct way of saying it. But tell me how philosophy et cetera worked its way into your pieces. My granddad used to take me to Navajo and Hopi Indian reservations and stuff. Tell me a little bit about your background and the significance of this wall there. Yeah, this wall is significant because of what has happened in Ukraine. It is now the 57th day of war in my country. Where many did you create from scratch all the tracks. Yes, Sugar Hill in Houston. Yes. Yeah, I worked with an engineer there. Uh many sessions putting together the tracks and uh the sound effects on the tracks. Timing was just impeccable on it to your interpretation of the poetry of the words established their own song. How long have you worked? I know that you began this thing, what, seven or eight years ago? But how long did you work? Production wise? Just on, on they're all um Edgar and Poe poems all set to show pan except for the Raven, which I don't know if you recognize that theme. It was from American Beauty. I didn't, I didn't know. I, I, I knew that you worked it and you worked it with your, with your uh special effects and everything. Well, timing was uh incredible hitting your marks, hitting your time marks on all of those that, aside, the technical aspect was very, very good. But how long did you work? And how easy did the interpretation of the read go for you? Um It took a while to memorize and internalize the poetry. So you sort of have a body memory. So from there you can take flight and create before we go really into what's actually gonna happen. Can we talk a little bit about Achilles and where it came about? And Bernie, how you got involved in it? Yeah, absolutely. Hi. Um So Achilles International started in New York City, um, almost 40 years ago now. So you say 14,000 is what you're going to max out at. Ok. So still getting a sense of not being at sea level. Once you get over at 11 5 12, then yeah, you can really start feeling it there, the website because it's all summarized there.
