"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.' "

Do they have NPR news updates on the hour? I don’t think I could stand that.

Horn and Watson volunteer but Matt refuses their help, telling them that he wants them out of town by the time he returns. The posse catches up with the stagecoach and Dorgan and Tacetta are passengers. Tacetta unconvincingly says that she is traveling on her own free will. Dillon is not buying it and arrests Dorgan.

Hi, Vision!
Yes, it may be a bit more quiet, but we will be here. We don’t have a dog in the Super Bowl hunt after the Saints got knocked out.
Keith is slow-smoking some St. Louis style pork ribs with pecan and maybe some mesquite.
I had a decent column on Thursday (it’s rare that I post my own columns here—Scott Factor posts them—but I thought the message was worth re-posting over 12 hours later). There are some good comments still going on today.

Hi Gina, the ribs sound good. What rub/sauce? I did some pulled pork yesterday which is fantastic.
Will look over the article...

Keith’s writing you about the ribs.
I love doing roast (pork or beef) in the slow cooker for at least 8 hours. Makes GREAT, tender pulled meat. I like to put a homemade sauce of vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire, and garlic in with it to cook and pull it all together when it’s done.
