Pioneer Radio History has a new home…
A while back, Mark Roberts discontinued his Pioneer Radio history site in an effort to conserve web space. Seeing as how his pages were the influence for me to research and write my own history for KLWN/KLZR, I offered to take over hosting and maintenance for his work, which he accepted. The new home for…

Doctor Who
So, I saw the penultimate episode of Doctor Who’s fourth (or thirtieth, depending on how you look at it) season, “The Stolen Earth,” on Sci-Fi. It is certainly all those who saw it on the initial airing across the pond. My friend Deena is a fan of Sci-Fi, mostly Star Wars, LOtR, and Lost. I…

Assorted thoughts
Weather… we have the town of Greensburg leveled, and the highway closed to keep gawkers away. My uncle Marty’s mother in law lives in the area, and I got a couple of calls asking about her. Meanwhile, it’s been so wet around here that the Kansas River is running heavy, with flood warnings for the…

What the…
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,268222,00.html Apparantly, someone had been sending nasty notes to the media complaining about the treatment of cheerleaders and dance teams on TV (apparantly, on the sidelines and at nationals). This person also laced many of his letters with a powdery insecticide. The FBI is now offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the identity…
