First you'll hear somebody snarling,
Then a clash of cacophanous bells.
Frozen dill pickes and vinegarsicles
Are what the Bad Humor Man sells.
He yells, "All you brats quit that shouting!"
And he smacks any kiddie who sings.
Cold curdled custard and horseradish mustard
Are what the Bad Humor man brings.

Interesting. I used to listen to distant AM stations at night on an old
radio, but couldn't achieve Europe. I was in Colorado, and could get
Canada, Mexico, and California. My friend Scott said he got New York one
time.
Sometimes things would be really strange, though. I got Canada during
the day once when I was sick in bed. Another time, I was getting FM from

A major point in my dislike of Bush and his rhetoric has been the
whole "war on terror" thing.
You cannot fight a war on anything that does not have (metaphorically,
at least) a throat you can get your hands on.
As a post i read on Hackworth's site said "...you might as well

This is a classic case of "screw the prosecution possibilities, do
it."
Unfortunately, those are hard to identify except in hindsight.

According to some things i've seen online, at least some digital will
still be VHF. Don't have the reference to hand, at the moment,
though.
OTOH, it looks as if all the Atlanta stations will be going UHF and we
wouldn't be able to get them.
Was for some time.

Used to listen to Chicago(WLS and WCFL) and Cleveland stations
(KYW/WKFC) when i was driving at night in SC in the right conditions.
Probably could have picked up WWVA, too, but i wasn't much into
country music in those days. (I'm still not much into mainstream

You're right - can't recall exactly when Packard went Tango Uniform -
but i was thinking of the whole post-war period when i said that,
rather than the 60s specifically. My Bad.

Yup. And it's dropping *rapidly* - depending on which pundits you
believe, it may get below $3/gallon by next month or the end of
December.
According to GasBuddy.com, there are stations as low as $3.19 in
Gainesville - and $2.98 in Dawsonville, which is interesting, because
