Yeah, okay. I'm old enough to remember how to do the, when it was on the radio and, well, I don't know if it was on the radio or not. Anyway, yeah, it's a lot of, probably ought to have a net sometime and talk about the old days. I can remember listening to the radio in the 40s, late 40s, and I had a show that I listened to every afternoon. My mother would call me in and Bob Amsbury and the Squirrel Cage, Gus and Gabby were kind of like his puppets or something. I think he went to work for Walt Disney. And unfortunately he was killed in an auto accident. But, yeah, sometimes talking to, I tell the kids that I'm pre-television, there was no TV when I was a kid. We got one about 1953. My dad worked for Consolidator Freightways and if they'd have an accident they would sell a whole truck off. They didn't just sell one that were damaged. So we got a, well it wasn't a damaged TV, a Hoffman Easy Vision television, probably most people never heard of it. But it had kind of a yellow screen so it supposedly protects your eyes. You know, the parents always thought, oh, you're too close to TV, you're going to ruin your eyes. Well, I don't think so. Kind of things that we used to believe aren't really true. I guess I believe we landed on the moon. They have pictures of the Earth from the moon so I'm pretty sure they went there. Of course, I guess they could have put up a rocket with just a camera and taken a picture back. But they spent a lot of money on it. I hope they got there. KV7, PBW. Yeah, Mel, one more quick comment here. All those shows from back in the day, those old time radio shows, Fibber McGee and Molly and Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar and Dragnet and This Is Your FBI and I Was a Communist for the FBI. All those shows, Philip Marlowe, you know, all of that stuff from back in the day. There's an app you can put on your phone and it has all of those shows. You can just pick the show you want, pick the show you want, pick the episode and you can listen all day long. So there are ways to still listen to all of those shows. They're all before my time but I get to listen to all of them with all their original commercials too in most cases, you know, all those funny cigarette commercials and things like that. My niece never believed that the Flintstones smoked cigarettes and there is a commercial out there for Winston cigarettes with Fred and Brownie smoking cigarettes. Anyway, if you want to know the name of that app, it's called OTR Streamer, Old Time Radio OTR Streamer. Very good. Anyway, I'm going to stand by for now. One minute away. Everybody clear the frequency please. OTR Streamer, All Star Node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington.
