A couple of weeks ago I auditioned in New York for the new reality tv show American inventor.

Well I just got of the phone with an ABC executive and have been chosen out of thousands of inventors to progress to the next round!!!!

Congrats AL.

Great news, Al. Bask in all the glory but don't stop working on my shovel. :)

Cool!!!!!!!

excellent.

I recall many years ago a London Taxi Driver won the UK program called "Mastermind"

It did wonders for the taxi driving Industry.

All the very best and with luck you can do the same for the cc Industry.

How about that Al:

That is a good idea!

Thx,
Dale

Congratulations! That is a great invention. BTW, both your business web-site and your invention web-site are very cool.

If I lived closer I might have called to have my carpets Simsatized. Your description of the process sounds inticing.

Best of luck on the show!

Way to go Al!

Terrific! We are all proud of you! Where was this when I was growing up in NYC and Syracuse? All we shovel out here in L.A. is BS!

They haven't told me anything except I have advanced to the next level and ABC is over nighting a package that i must fill out and send back.

But I found info on the web that say's the finalists will spend 9 weeks in L.A. in early 2006 for filming.

I was told by the judges if I get a call back "I Must bring snow". I have great video and all but they want actual snow.

So my question is "where the heck can I get snow in L.A." I checked around on the web and found skiing 2 hours away from L.A. There may be somthing I can substitute but it really needs the weight of heavy snow to show the energy handle in action. Snow is best.
Is there really snow 2 hours from L.A.
I guess really fine crushed ice would work.


Thanks AL

Al,

I know in summerfest someone said that our industry was over within five years. Al its not going to be over. You dont need to look at other avenues of business yet.

All joking aside that invention wont work in Miami but if you made one for dog poop im a buyer!!

Hey Alfred,

That was Mr. Ed York himself that gave a speech saying we had 6 years left in the CC industry.

So I had to come up with somthing!!

LOL

My Idea was concieved on Feb 2 1996.
Utillity patents were awarded in 1998 then I spent 8 years trying to get it to the shelves. I never let go, kept on pushing for 10 years never gave up hope.
Now maybe I can be an overnite success story! LOL

AL

Hmmmm....the Poopsling.........

I think HRI already has a pantent on the efficient removal of water. You know that snow does contain H2O?

In L.A. you should have no problem getting snow, and lots of it!

Arrange with the studio for them to have snow machines available (from right up the street in Hollywood). I would expect that a reasonable person would understand that you can't "bring" snow with you!

If they like you enough, they might even pay for the snow machines' rental and operation themselves!

The General is right. They make snow here all the time. You saw that commercial on TV a week or so ago where the kids get up and see snow. At the end it shows a snow making machine in front of the house covering it with snow. Should not be too difficult to research, especially for someone as clever as you.

BTW, my back STILL aches from shoveling snow as a kid in NYC!

Be careful about asking "to buy snow, and lots of it" in Hollywood. Asking the wrong person could get you life without parole.

Al, that is awesome. Too bad we don't get any snow down here.

Um, I mean, um, it seems that line might be funny but I don't have any idea what it means. OK? Um. Never mind.
