HIT SHORE TOOK US A LONG TIME TO GIT HERE - For JUST A MINUTE RADIO on Wednesday 120111

I don’t quite know how we managed it… staying up late – Midnight on Monday/Tuesday to catch the Dixville Notch voting. 

 

Funny, in South Carolina we were able to look in to upstate New Hampshire and see them actually dropping the nine ballots in the box.. then take them to the ‘counting’ room and then post them up on the polling place wall – like they were expecting 10,000 people to look in.  Well if you take the audience numbers seriously (and advertisers do) there probably were several million people looking in at one time or another on Tuesday morning (after Monday midnight) to see the first votes being cast. I guess I’ve seen newspaper photos of those actions… and maybe even a newsreel shot or so…. Don’t remember that. In any case – there’s no doubt about it the  world is shrinking… and getting warmer by some counts.

 

As a matter of record the temps here in SC during the first week in January have been miraculously mild.  You really have to go up in the mountains to get below freezing… which it does.

 

We’ve had a few frosts… and my yard looks about  as ragged as possible… although for last night we were under some kind of storm watch that had T-storms in the forecast…(J)…I recalled for my wife one Christmas when we had 78F on Christmas Day…. – but that’s not usual.  A college roommate and I were working on the local university campus when it was deserted for Christmas break. We were working (running the broadcast station during Christmas break while students were away from campus) and we had one of the loudest cracks of Thunder on the week between Christmas and New Years that I *ever* remember. 

 

Well… odd things do happen.  And reading the polling numbers and trying to keep up with what’s going on politically… it taxes my usually sleepy headed brain.  So… I’m not one for these late night sessions. Still … at times it’s part of the job. And the phone doesn’t distract nearly as much. (J)

 

Hope you’re having the beginning of Happy New Year. May the Lord bless us all.

 

Cordially, IN HIM
