"The Big Broadcast is a Sunday night tradition for families throughout the WAMU listening area. Each week, Big Broadcast host Ed Walker offers listeners priceless recordings of popular radio programs from the '30s, '40s and '50s. Priceless, especially, for a man whose first sentence as a child was, 'Turn the radio on.' "

BTW, I got an email back from Ed Walker last week. NPR dumped out of the show to promote Obama’s greatness on Libya. Of course, the propagandists will probably have no comment for what is happening there now...

Vision, we were wondering how you are after the storm moved through. I'm glad to see you're here!

I got a reply back from WAMU last week, too, and the girl said they were going to RE-RUN last week's show this week. I wish they would not do that, but this lineup may not be the correct one. I also wanted to hear the mystery shows!

Anyway, SteelYourFaith asked me to post this for him today:

At the Lake Mojave Resort Buster Favor says that the only other guest is Franklin J. Meloy, who has a scar. Johnny and Pat go out on the Lake fishing. They see a man with a metallic object in the distance. Johnny sneaks up on him. He is holding blue steel binoculars. He is Franklin J.

Hey Gina, they're rerunning the show? Is NPR capable of making a good decision? GOOD GRIEF. Lame socialists. I'm emailing them now. A great lux last week and the clock was also good.

It starting raining here about noon yesterday and got heavy in the early evening. All was well until I realized there was a leak in the basement door and that took the fun out of the storm. Kind of a long night..loud bangs...but the power didn't go out so the sump pumps did their thing. I've got some damage to a climbing vine and shrub but all else is ok. Some family down in VA are still out of power and they got hit worse.

Well, that does take the fun out of it! Darned leakage! At least you didn’t lose power, which is pretty amazing.

Here is the reply I got from WAMU:

“Thanks for your email. WAMU 88.5 faces unique challenges in serving the community that lives in the nation’s capital - ours is probably the most engaged and news savvy audience in the country. As such, national and international breaking news is central to our mission. When the story about regime change in Libya broke dramatically on Sunday, we had an obligation to bring the rapidly changing events to our audience immediately.

That said, we know that The Big Broadcast is a beloved Sunday night tradition for our listeners; it is appointment listening for many. We will repeat last Sunday’s broadcast in its entirety this Sunday evening, August 28, beginning at 7 p.m., as usual. Additionally, you can listen to last Sunday night’s program online at http://wamu.org/programs/bb.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, and for your loyal listening.

Best,

Kay Summers

Darn! They really are re-running last week.

We’re fine, Vision, after working our tails off installing a sprinkler system and zoysia sod in a customer’s yard this past week. We were on a 5-day deadline, and it was all we could do to get the job 99 percent done!

We are worn out from swinging a pick axe chopping a massive number of tree roots in that yard. We’re are sunkissed, too! As “they” say, what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger. :-)

That reminds me of a hilarious speech Conan O’Brien gave a few months ago. At one part he says “(so and so) once said ‘whatever doesn’t kill you makes you strong.’ What he failed to say is that IT ALMOST KILLED YOU!”

HA!! Conan is a funny guy.

"Don't be afraid to fail." Well now I'm here to tell you that, though you should not fear failure, you should do your very best to avoid it. Nietzsche famously said "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger." But what he failed to stress is that it almost kills you. Disappointment stings and, for driven, successful people like yourselves it is disorienting. What Nietzsche should have said is "Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you watch a lot of Cartoon Network and drink mid-price Chardonnay at 11 in the morning."

What a hoot!

Yea, I never found his tv show funny, but he killed in that speech.
