"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.' "

Doing fine, Vision.

I just stepped across the alley to our neighbors’ house. I saw that the cops were there, and I figured it was because the house alarm was going off. I was right. I went over and told the police I would reset the alarm (the neighbors are our close friends, so I have a key and the code). Her husband occasionally messes up when they leave and doesn’t set the darned thing right.

Huh. I don't know if that would have worked with the cops up here.

I've been catching a few episodes of the Bible this week. You should check it out. It's draining to watch.

Well, I just asked them if the alarm was going off; they said yes, and I said I can turn it off and reset it, and they said good, since they had another call to go to anyway. They had checked and said the house was secured and left. I told them the husband sometimes screws up setting the alarm and it goes off.

I’ve read some reviews about The Bible, some saying that it doesn’t quite get it right on some of the Scriptures. Of course, I can’t watch it anyway with no television.

We have computers, and we sometimes rent steaming movies off Amazon or buy DVDs. We’ve been renting episodes of The Walking Dead (Season 2) lately. Kinda hooked, just a little.

Oh, if you're using amazon you can stream the first season of bbq pitmasters. Classic stuff.

BTW, I smoked a naked fatty yesterday and it was amazing. It's just a jimmy dean sausage chub smoked at 300 with pecan wood until 180. Freakin’ great! At 180 you render out a lot of fat.
