I love "liking" what I like in WRUW, but it's a chore catching up "likes" after being offline for a spell.
Aged parents constantly require care and tending, especially doctors' visits. Some days were spent afield for turkey and wild hogs on two different hunts. On Saturday morning April 6th we suffered a direct hit lightning strike. Only got back online yesterday after the ordeal. Computer was partially damaged and modem, cordless phone base, clothes dryer, and IPhone charger all were fried. Worse and worse, from a personal point of view, the Kenwood receiver/amp of ancient lineage gasped for a few moments afterward then completely died away.
No stereophonic sound, no tunes!!! Gotta have tunes! The old Bose office CD player is just isn't cuttin' the mustard.
No watches were harmed in the over-current electric discharge event. My grandmother's 1952 Western Electric 500 phone, which is kept as a bit of whimsy on a phone shelf in the hall, shrugged it off, shook its receiver at the sky and disdainfully harrumphed: "That all ya' got?" So, once service was restored we have a telephone. Strange how readily an old geezer and geezette can re-adapt to a rotary dial.
