Hello Once Again Favorite Friends –
Glad to have you on board for a short ride over to the Caroliner’ Line where t he friends are a’waitin’ to discuss the latest happenings on the primary front. I’ll bet most of you (us) didn’t know there were primaries yesterday in
So… today’s program attempts to make up for the big boys’ omissions – at least a little. If it fills a hole in your keeping up with the program drop me a line at n4zhk@arrl.net and I’d love to have your reaction. [One of these days *somebody* is going to shock me and respond. (J)
Anyway it’s sort of fun trying to keep up with the ‘firehose’ of information that I sort through several times a week. Today I’m sure I missed some things because I was looking so diligently for other jewels…such as finding out Al Gore – and Tipper --- that Sahlie couple crashing WH State Dinners … have mutually decided to ‘support’ one another by splitting up that which they had pledged before witnesses and the whole world to remain true to ‘till the end. Well… sometimes we just don’t have the right lenses to look through. I don’t wish them ill… It just means we have to be a bit more acute in selecting the pronouncements of our public figures and sorting the wheat from the chaff…
Oh by the way – if you’re interested in mixed metaphors – how about this one describing the problems on the Gulf shores: ”The oil washing ashore from the gigantic leak BP bequeaths us, is building to a huge flame that threatens to consume the fishing and tourist industry in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida – plus points north.”
Perhaps they could just get this imaginative metaphor to flick itself into an energy source we could all use to heat our homes next winter and convert frosty the snowman into a beach bum. Nah… that’s too far fetched.
Enough word-play for today. See you again on Friday.
Cordially, IN HIM
Jack
