I didn't know or didn't remember the rhubarb. I certainly remember the fourth no-no. Pure poetry. Anyone who doesn't listen to both calls in their entirety has missed a chance to understand how great Scully is and why it is more important to be a baseball fan than to just root for a team or two. Happy 4th. Read the Declaration of Independence before eating dogs and burgers. Thank you for the memories. I didn’t know or didn’t remember the rhubarb. I certainly remember the fourth no-no.

I did indeed take a walk on the Royal Mile! It was very, very foggy (not atypical, of course), so I didn't hike up Arthur's Seat, which I'd planned to do. But (as I mentioned in an earlier thread) I brought home some Glen Morangie. Duty Free (not sure how much that saved, actually), and a good souvenir. The traveling part did suck a lot, though. Continental Airlines is now on my shit list. [4] I am back, yes. I did indeed take a walk on the Royal Mile!

(I didn't get that it was Japanese because it was made in Japan... I just thought it was a <i>Japanese</i> radio). Radios were ususally in pretty big boxes then, so something that small was pretty amazing. I remember Dad proudly claiming that it was '7 transistors', which was way cool (having absolutely no idea what a transistor was). I guess the one pictured is 6 transistors. For my birthday some years later, I got a 10 transistor radio. Imagine that. TEN transistors. In my grandmothers lifetime, she saw the telegraph, telephone, car, radio and TV come into usage... not to mention ELECTRICITY. My generation saw COLOR TV through the computer, so that's really cool.
