I'll add The Big Show is one of the pinnacles of OTR.

Happy Sunday all...

I don’t see much of a Memorial Day show but will wait to find out what happens...am in love with the line up...Peggy Lee...and Sinatra!...Philco Radio Time is good...and ending with The Big Show! The Big Show is one of the pinnacles of OTR. Love it.

How are you?

[dakine]

Thanks...

[WXRGina]

Hi, Vision. How’s it going?

[Vision]

Things are good Gina. Taking it easy, bought a fern for the porch. You?

[WXRGina]

Good deal! A porch fern is a nice touch. :-D

We’re okay. Both glad to have Monday off.

[Calvin Locke]

With Tallulah Bankhead?

A number of Nero Wolfe epis have a promo for the next The Big Show at the end.

[Vision]

Do you have plans?

[Vision]

Yes. And be sure to listen to the last 5min or so.

[Vision]

This Sinatra show is beautiful...

[WXRGina]

Just working around the house and yard. I blew off the roof today. Keith usually does that, but I wanted to do it, just so I could. He held the ladder for me and handed me the blower. I didn’t like doing it. Scary. :-)

[Vision]

Well, congratulations.

[WXRGina]

Well, congratulations.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

By the way, Keith said he saw your comment on another thread about voting by mail, but he said he didn't quite understand what you were saying or what you meant. How did that go down?

[Vision]

I received an envelope in the mail from the state and there was an election ballot inside. You were directed to fill it out and return it. If someone else is filling it out for you there's a form you can sign. But there's no check for one someone just filling it out for you and returning it. If the US adopts this an legitimate method of voting there won't be any integrity in our election process.

Make sense?

[logitech]

Wow. Can I use your comment to alert people?

[Vision]

Of course.

They just mail out forms to send back.
