Howdy -- it’s a Thursday – and wrestling with this bobo today …I didn’t think I’d ever get done with it.
For several weeks I have been hearing of the changes coming – partly because of competition – and partly because we’re running out of bandwidth…
Frankly most of it goes over my head. I do have some engineering training and some licenses (mostly out-dated now) and the electronic age is passing me by post haste. But I just couldn’t understand what forces were at work here.
Every now and then we get a squawk out of China… we’re stepping on something they don’t want us to do… or vice versa… and then there’s the problem of – if you have a mobile phone will it work when you go to Europe … or some other place overseas? The answer is – it depends! Most likely it won’t
I do follow some of the folks like Mossberg who writes up to date stuff in the WSJ about computers and modems and all the stuff that’s coming. But I figure since most of my electronics understanding got pretty thin back there when they were just inventing transistors… well… I’m not exactly in the ‘cutting edge.’
Anyway… I decided to try and puzzle out what this past Wednesday’s front page story in the WSJ was all about… and even with concentration I got bored. But… I figured some of you would want to know and I get the paper late… and am busy etc. etc. But I gave it a huge try. Well… today’s program and script is the result of all that. When (if) you read it you’ll see what thin ice I’m working with. In any case I gave it a good old college try. Which would not have been so bad if I hadn’t had a bad “GREMLIN” attack… and for those of you … Most of you… who weren’t around during WWII… GREMLINS were little elfin like creatures of our imagination critics said… that messed up your gun or your equipment somehow… Part of the theatre of “If anything can go wrong it will.” School of drama…
And wouldn’t you know it on the every evening we were late getting home… etc etc… I still had to write the script and produce the program… and my computer had already been acting up and … and … and.. here it is 3:35 in the AM and I’m still trying to get this stuff down and into the automation system etc. so it can be a part of what’s on the air in the morning… Grrrr.
Well… no use getting angry at the Gremlins… that just makes it worse… anyway it turns out 99.44% of the time It’s some dumb mistake I have made. Which just feeds my stupid anger all the more.
So… I’ve already asked the Lord to forgive me for this outburst… and HE has. As HE always is willing to do. And I’m glad I’m not going to have to be on repair detail in the AM tomorrow… so I’ll do my best to catch a couple of “make up” hours in the morning… So… without further details… as old Ed Murrow used to sign off… “Good night – and Good luck.” Sounded good when he said it… but he died of throat cancer from too many coffin nails. Praise the Lord my Daddy worked me over pretty good about that … and BJU finished the job. So… I may get hit by a bus… but I don’t expect to die from nicotine poisoning.
God bless you all.. More mistakes… too late… no really too early… I’ll be in bed before 3:45 AM
Cordially, IN HIM
