Day Twelve, Sam's Entry

Not much to say about today (or for the rest of this week) as we're going to be editing for most of the time. This process does lend itself to plenty of introspection, though, as we're basically going to be watching and re-watching what we've done, and then watching it again.

For example, during our conversation with Bob at the Sunrise retirement home, while we were talking about the courts and the system of checks and balances, one of the attendants, a guy in an orange shirt, said as he was passing by, "It's to keep the USR out of our USA." All any of us could do was laugh nervously. Later, and completely out of nowhere, he talked about how he just hopes they give police and firefighters all the money they need. It was such a sharp contrast between Bob, who as an older person is expected to be sort of out of it but seemed very much his own man, and the attendant, who was maybe in his forties and didn't seem all that bright, really.

We're going to go out for one more day, I think, and the rest of the time will be devoted to editing and composing our final reactions about the project. There's also this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VcV6Jvhso4

For the record, it wasn't my idea.
