But it was to hear songs and music of the day. Although the Golden Age of Radio was way before my time, I can now listen to them online, free of charge. The other night, we all laughed at Groucho and “You Bet Your Life”. There are tons of other shows on the lists at RadioLovers.com in all genres, including mysteries, dramas and big band music.

The Old Time Radio Network also has shows online. Their site says they have over 12.000 shows available and 100 is added each week.

I’m probably going to fill up my iPod with these treasures, which kind of seems incongruous to me, but then again, the times, they are a’changin.

Although some may disagree, but I think it’s wonderful. But I think I’m on the low end of the wacky score and may need to do something to improve that. But what? How can I translate my real life wackiness into a blog? Some how, a blog post isn’t affected if the writer is composing a post while wearing a sombrero.

I’m sure I’ll come up with something, but I’ve realized that it’s hard to feign wacky.

I plan on using it on April Fools.

If you go to the official De Lorean website and type in flux capacitor, it will allow you to put one in your shopping cart and check out. I didn’t go all the way through the process, but I did read about it on a message board. One woman was thrilled to get this as a freebie and is hoping to be able to attach it to her SUV.

Wiki says: The flux capacitor is the fictional core component of Doctor Emmett Brown’s time traveling De Lorean in “Back to the Future”.

MLL wants to know, so I’m trying to show her.

I am not a fan of pasta or noodles, but this recipe sounds pretty tasty. It also looks like it would be very easy to prepare and to modify.

I don’t know if I have any noodles in my home, but I think I’ll get some, just to try this recipe.

It looks like the citizens of Euless, TX can rest a bit easier. The police there have successfully mopped up a one man crime spree in their local vicinity:

An article at Star-Telegram.com tells that 4 towels AND an ashtray were taken from a Motel 6. The police noticed that a man that had been sitting in his vehiclle for a long time. While interviewing him, they discovered that the missing towels AND the ashtray were in his vehicle.

I really appreciate the detailed map posted in the story and I wonder if the criminal is regretting being locked up for towels and an ashtray.

There are some protests this weekend that are led by people that probably believe themselves to be “men of distinction”. The protesters look to be the excitable sort and seem to be playing to the media. As we watch these protests on the news, we would do well to consider what Ben Franklin said:

“On the whole, it appears that the Israelites were a people jealous of their newly-acquired liberty, which jealousy was ill itself no fault; but when they suffered it to be worked upon by artful men pretending public good, with nothing really in view but private interest, they were led to oppose the establishment of the new Constitution, whereby they brought upon themselves much inconvenience and misfortune. From all which we may gather that popular opposition to a public measure is no proof of its impropriety, even though the opposition be excited and headed by men of distinction.”
