Lucky me. Lucky the three or four of you.
Our satellite went down over the weekend. This is a really big deal in that we run all of our college and pro sports off of the satellite and most of our daytime programming like Laura Ingraham and Clark Howard. And since I'm too cheap to hire a real, full-time engineer, it was up to me to fix the satellite. In the end I spent a couple of hours chipping ice out of the inside of an 15-foot diameter satellite dish out behind the WJOB tower. Chip chip chip, scrape scrape scrape, sweep sweep sweep in the four-degree gloominess. It snowed just enough over the weekend to be 41 on Saturday and then 14 on Sunday. Flash freeze. Ice all around and somehow a good fifty percent of it wound up cradled in the metal manger of our WJOB satellite dishes. I know what you’re thinking. Why am I not more interested in knowing more about a very famous guy from my home area of the Calumet Region who
But it’s not really Tesich that we’re talking about here, is it? We’re talking about someone else who did all of the above. That be Jean Shepherd... We use Weebly to build this and all of our websites. It's a pretty good program for people who don't know how to code. I have no idea where Weebly offices are located, but I get the feeling that it's not in the Eastern or Central time zones.
How do I know this? Because here in the tiny corner of Indiana that's in the Central timezone, it's 12:01am. But when I turn on Weebly to blog for the three or four of you, it still says it's yesterday. That means they do the time not by where you are, but by where Weebly's headquarters is. Boulder maybe? Or Silicon Valley? I don't know, but my best guess is that it's not Austin, Texas, which is on the same time as Hammond, Indiana, and it's probably not Boston either, which is an hour ahead of us. If this sounds like rambling to you, then just know that I've been away from live radio for a good nine days now and I'm going a little bit bat shit... |
I run radio stations and a streaming video network in Hammond, Ind., and write this blog.
