About one year ago I posted a short item about the possible changes at KCI airport. Please see http://shawneeray.blogspot.com/search?q=KCI+Komedy
More stories have been appearing lately about the possibility of changing the configuration of KCI.
The airport comes under the authority of the City of KCMO through its Aviation Department.
Having flown in and out of KCI I can personally say it is a pleasure compared to other airports with the single or central terminal design. Friends, relatives and business associates who have come through KCI also marvel at its positive uniqueness.
KCI is a true regional airport.
The questions I'd like to see answered are:
1. How many Kansas residents (numbers and percentages) utilize KCI? Possibly even broken down by county.
2. How many tourists (numbers and percentages) visiting, have a Kansas location as their destination?
3. How many business travelers (numbers and percentages) have a Kansas location as their destination?
4. How many of those above would like to see the configuration of the airport remain the way it is. (Supposedly it was designed with the possibility of a 4th circular terminal being built if necessary)
5. How much input will Kansas residents and businesses be permitted regarding any changes?

Food for Thought
Received this in an email from a friend of mine. Seems to hit the nail on the haed.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
You couldn't get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 143 days of experience.
You couldn't become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon.
You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.
You couldn't join the military and become a colonel after a 143 days of experience.
You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.
BUT....From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate.That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. .......................143 days?
We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that's all it is, a start.
AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public seems to feel comfortable with this and campaigning for him.We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet some are OK with this, for the President of the United States of America ?
Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol.

KC Chiefs
Actually, the purpose of this post is to test a third polling format.
We have already tried two different poll formats and want to see which one we will use going forward.
Take the poll about the Chiefs. Will they make it to the playoffs?
