I went over to old man Thomas Burnside's home yesterday.Actually
though,he and his wife live at 4838 S Westhaven Drive.(I don't know why I had been thinking they live on South McRaven Road,I guess it's because I haden't been over there to visit in so long) y'all can google 4838 S Westhaven Drive Jackson Mississippi if y'all want to,I don't care) Their phone number is 601 922 2235 He said a guy from Nashville was over there about a week ago and bought a radio from him.Burnside said he gets about ten old radios a month and he sells about 15 old radios a month.He has some little storage sheds in his back yard near his garden and I have seen lots of old tube type radios and old transistor radios and all kinds of old things in there many times before and I have bought a lot of old things from him before.He subscribes to a paper called the American Radio Club.He said there is a website for that and he keeps an ad in the that paper,if y'all want to check it out.They have a store manikin that looks like a brunette woman of about 25 years old and the manikin is sitting in a chair under the carport by the side of their front side door.Burnside said his wide changes the clothes on that manikin every once in a while.The manikin was dressed up in bluejeans and a polka dot shirt and black shoes and had sunglasses on.When I pulled up in their driveway,I though at first it was a real live woman,I waved at that manikin and I says,Howdy! I wanted to buy that manikin too,buy they said it isn't for sale. cuhulin |

I sure hope your friend doesn't object to your publishing his personal info on Usenet like that. Then again, maybe you guys aren't friends at all. It sure as hell doesn't look like it to me. |

I was only trying to drum up some more business for the old coot so he
can sell some more radios.I didn't put him on usenet,he has been on usenet for years.He also told me old man Otto (Otto is about 80 something years old) is still repairing radios so I think I am going to take my old wooden cabinet floor model Grundig AM/FM/Shortwave/phonograph radio (it dates back to about 1957 or 1958) and my old wooden cabinet AM/FM/Shortwave Telefunken table model radio and another old AM/FM wooden cabinet table model radio over to old man Otto Wisez's (I think his last name is spelled Wisez,I have it written down on an empty cigarette rolling papers cardboard cover around here somewhere.But all I would have to do is look in my phone book,I am not neat and tidy,I lay things down around here just where ever they happen to land) place and let him repair those radios.Old coot Burnside told me a set of tubes for my old Telefunken radio could cost about $50.00,but that's ok with me.Eat your heart out! cuhulin |

Howard So why not just make it an industrial accident they are drilling on. Why the comic book drama? A few reasons: 1) A terrorist attack, regardless of what probability of happening any of us in this group assign, is one of many things DHS is tasked to respond to 2) The "War on Terror" , again regardless of the opinions of those on this group, is considered a real possibility by our government institutions and as such they are preparing for such an eventuality 3) A terrorist attack on this nation need not come from outside this nation and has always been a consideration of our government agencies and in fact they did occur. 9/11 just shifted how we address things. 4) FEMA, noted for response to natural disasters, is now under the umbrella of DHS so even if done as a FEMA drill - it would still ultimately be a DHS drill. Your and my perception of terorrist threat to America, involvement in the mid-East and I'm sure a few other political topics are undoubtedly different. However, I do hope that you do not "throw out the baby with the bathwater" and lose sight of the fact that there is some good that is coming from our government's actions post 9/11. Not everything our government is doing is wrong or evil; some of what this administration - as well as many others before it - are doing is objectionable to a great many people. In the end though, this isn't such a bad place to be - at least in my opinion. Through our representational democracy we have the opportunity to vote against those who do not truly act on our behalf as citizens; it is a duty we all share to vote for those who will protect the interest of us as a nation and then to monitor their activities and take action to prevent the loss of our democratic process (vote them out of office). I give you credit for not doing the "my candidate didn't win so I'm moving to Canada" routine and that is why I am taking the time for such a verbose response. All I ask of you, as a fellow citizen, is to be as objective as you can when assessing our form of government and our politicians and to vote (regardless of how much we may feel our vote counts or doesn't count) based on reason and not political rhetoric. Apologies to all for a lengthy post, just felt compelled to speak my mind. Howard |
