Periodic signals are the least interesting.
It’s a countdown!!!!
Now you to will have that song in your head all day like I do right now.
The smoke detector needs new batteries.
Interesting..156 days is close to our half year of about 180 days. OK 182...
But it would mean some form of transmission on each side of a panet...and only twice their year...weird...maybe th3e revolution period of a type of radio emitting star we don’t know about?
Wait a minute wait a minute...has Garfield been playing with the TV set again?
“The Sparrow”
Excellent fictional book of a Catholic who leads a missionary trip to a new found world.
Yeah, crazy sounding but one of the best books I’ve read ... and book 2 was even better.

WOW!

Naturally I thing also of how Hitler had his submarines radio Berlin with encoded, accelerated messages. “Blips.” We knew the frequencies and triangulated almost every one!
We lost a lot of “tonnage” but (too many but) not many men.
As a merchant mariner I am quite proud of our ruses. My father was the architect of not a few.
Thank the LORD for Churchill. I have no affection for Roosevelt.
We have been sending radio signals into space since Marconi. Who knows?
BESURETODRINKYOUROVALTINE!
