you route your call, say, through anchorage, alaska, and then from poughkeepsie to portland, and youould stack up this routeing of calls just for the sake of doing it, just because it was an interesting thing to do because at the you got to say hello at one phone and listen half a second later while you heard your voice on the other phone. in some cases you could even wiretap people using this technology, so you could actually use these blue boxes to wiretap a call in process. now fortunately for the phone company, not everybody is an electronics genius in 1960 or 1970, and so not everybody can make a blue box. unfortunately for the phone company, the quaker oats company provided something called the captain crunch bow sun whistle and boxes of cereal. it's just a little plastic whistle, and it turns out if you cover up one of the holes and blow, you get that 2600 hertz tone. and so if you had one of these whistles, you could then make free phone calls.

. >> you go to poughkeepsie when you have a lambchop at -- kind of. i saw your face. among them. one of the sweetest people god ever made. and she's, of course, been diagnosed with incurable brain cancer. but her spirit is -- >> yeah, incredible. we had her on when she was talking about the show, a broadway show. >> she was brilliant in. >> savannah flew to california and sat down and talked to her. she was so honest and open and still optimistic, as well as being a realist. anyway, take a listen. >> first, i thought, oh, my god, three months to live. it's not the whole truth. it's not -- yes, it may be, but it could be six, it could be five years. you know, you just don't know. the thing i have is very rare, and it's serious and it's incurable. so far. so i'm holding on to the so far. i'm also quite ready to say bye-bye. >> are there moments when you do feel sad or -- >> oh, my god, yes. oh, no. i don't mean this to be polyanna. oh, no. but you know what i do, savannah? i allow myself to breathe. and sometimes it's, "i don't want to go." i don't. but life is life, an

we also see that the poughkeepsie area has a high travel time. that is about 32 minutes one way.o we do tend to see that the largest -- longest travel times and to be places that are very large metropolitan areas, d.c., new york, or small metropolitan areas sort of right outside and adjacent to these large metropolitan areas, like riverside, san bernardino. there is a trend in average travel time for these places. host: robert puentes washington, the color of said about travel times. guest: new york is a great place to look at this. is place of a robust transit. but they are reinvesting in other modes. the city of new york is really a national leader in looking at how folks can get to work by other modes -- walking, biking, closing down parts of major streets in new york that were formerly high-speed thoroughfares for vehicles, closing them down and focusing on walking and aching. -- biking. i think it was a struggle for some folks in the beginning. it is to be successful at providing alternative modes than just taking transit or driving er. host: jim on twitter says neither free

there was a story that a person had filed for poughkeepsie. -- make up see. -- bankruptcy. both stories are put out by a satire website. they both made it out there. maybe rather than worrying about all of this big stuff, we ought to worry about the small stuff. check it out. part of theun it, conflict with the web is that it is killing us or you. it makes it -- it is like an e- mail. you see things that you never would have written in an e-mail and you can say things on the web you never would have written down. it is easy to push a button and it is out there. i may not care about the guy but i care a lot about teaching students with the journalism they are doing. if you learn to be a reporter, you can report on celebrities, politics, sports, the economy, but if you do not know how to be a reporter, all you can be as a celebrity. that is all you can do. iswhat scares me the most that the huge vacuum, the stuff that we do not know that no one is touching him of the illusion that everything can be known by getting online and tickling something with your thumbs leaves this gi

but here's the question: if you're in po poughkeepsie and you're on the internet and you say, i sympathize with, you know, some group around the world that doesn't like america, and you say bad things about america, are you a traitor? i mean, you can try someone for treason for that. i'm not sure if it'll rise up to that, if you're a politically opposed to what your government is doing and in favor another. but kevin which will someson say, "if sympathizing with our edge miss and prop began dyeing 0en their behalf is equivalent to making war on our country, then the johnson and mix son -- nixon administrations should have bombed every elite college in america because during the 1960's that's all that came out was anti-america, antiwar." is objecting to your government or thepologies of your government -- the policy of your government sympathizing with the enemy? some were openly sympathetic. nobody will ever forget jane fonda swivelling around in north vietnamese armored guns and it was despicable. that's one thing if you want to try her for treason, but are you going to just drop a drone,
