Last night, Alexis and I went to the Cinco de Mayo fiesta at the Hammond Civic Center. There were a lot of brown people. On the dance floor, I felt tall.
Mexicans are very loyal people. (They can also turn off the loyalty when pride gets in the way. But that’s a blog for Another Thousand Words.)

A call came into the station yesterday.
“School bus crash. Corner of Summer Street and Columbia Avenue. Kids on the bus.” So Tony Panek and I went out there in a hurry and, yes, a car crashed into the front of a school bus that had 15 kids on it. We did a quick Facebook Live video (8,000 views so far) and then left. The whole news visit took about 20 minutes from the time Tony and I left the station until we returned. It’s 2:18 on Monday morning. It’s been raining for weeks now, culminating with an overnight storm that has me up all night.
What it boils down to is the clock. When it flashes, that means that your power went out at home. This is worrisome if you own radio stations. Any number of things can go wrong once the power goes out in the area, so you turn on your radio to check that you’re still on the air. And you do it again. And again and again. |
I run radio stations and a streaming video network in Hammond, Ind., and write this blog.
