Re: 70's decade 1 hit wonders

Fantastic read....thank you, sir.

I always think of this video when I hear "Magic" by Pilot:

Re: MP3

I suggest FLAC rather than MP3. You will then have the full audio quality of the CD. I understand that to fit your persona here on the board you need to feign helplessness and technical ignorance, but get some software, spend an afternoon messing with it, and anyone....even you....can do it. The big...

Re: FM Antenna Price Inflation and Performance Deflation?

There are better prices available here and there, but remember: certainly less than 1 in 100 people would even understand what its for, and even a sliver of those would have an interest in purchasing and installing an outdoor directional "FM" antenna. I have RF in every cell of my old body, but I si...

Re: 910 am super station breaking news

WMTG was a good idea when Harper put it together many years ago, but I don't think it was given much of a chance. Check, check, and double check. Harper was PD at the time, but the project really was not his other than some execution. Specs graduates running the board, with the resultant near nothi...

Re: Christmas Isn't Far Off

Young people who have an interest in shooting sports, properly trained by qualified instructors, learn proper procedures, respect for the weapon and its power. It's been done in organized groups like the Boy and Girl Scouts for years, along with parents and relatives dating back a century or more. I...

Re: Self Checkout Gone at Home Depot

The Canadian retail landscape is littered with the carcasses of US retailers who failed to make the grade in Canada. Lowes is the latest casualty. They sold off their Canadian business earlier this year and the new owners are now rebranding all the stores as Rona. Probably the most spectacular fail...

Re: UP High School Radio Station Loses Frequency To Bigger Station

It's interesting the amount of attention that this matter has received. I'm told it is appearing on all sorts of different postings on FakeBook, and as a result I've heard from about 6 friends who brought it to my attention suggesting that I take care of them gratis'. I'm certain, given the attentio...

Re: Bob & Tom Show returning to NW Michigan

Let me get this straight.....Bob and Tom without Bob? Never cared for it....forced laughter, sophomoric hijinks. Sounds like a desperation move. The most interesting thing is the "Bar Harbor" reference. About 4 years ago, they had a GREAT food menu. Apparently they sold, and the two times I've stopp...

Re: You Be The judge

So, after he returned to work, he boasted to his friends about how he had killed a deer out on the hunt, but couldn't remember shooting it because he had been so drunk. Yeah, blah blah, hunters are bad, people with guns are bad, blah, blah. Your unspoken message is clear. Millions of responsible, l...

Re: Ordering Online

I concur. That is pretty silly. What if you didn't have a credit card, and only had cash? I would have told clerk: i don't do online and want to pay with cash. Although I agree with your point, and understand the concept of "Legal Tender", I have noted an increasing prevalence of "card only" seller...
