    Every so often I cruise the AM band just to see what's out there. Mostly (so far as I am concerned) it's a waste of time, but good to know where the stations are. Once I got home after dark, but instead of going inside right away I cruised the AM band. Picked up a station out of Chicago if I recall correctly (I'm in Florida) that was coming in loud and clear. Some fella by the name of Art Bell was on and he was interviewing folks about UFO's. That was a wild ride that night. When I finally went inside my wife asked "what were you doing out there for so long?" I said, "you wouldn't believe me if I told you" and let it go at that!

    I am a talk-radio-aholic.
    It doesn't matter if it's AM or FM ... Conservative or Liberal ... or non-political.
    Garden talk or Auto-talk or Doctor advice or Lawyer advice
    "Bill Handle on the Law" is one of the best shows still on the radio.

    Some of my favorite talkers are now off the air waves, but still do podcasts. I'm only setup to listen to podcasts while in the house and pretty much only in the livingroom...but that's OK.

    I can't listen to him or the financial advice guy, Dave Ramsey. They have to deal with stupid people and are forced to be blunt and rude to get their point across. I get enough conflict and rudeness in everyday life that I don't want to listen to it in my free time.

    I used to hate Dave Ramsey. Then I realized that he was attempting to preach to deaf ears so took a more aggressive tone. He speaks to his listeners in biblical parables and is worth a bit north of 1/4 billion from his work.

    He obviously chooses to ignore the parts of the Bible he doesn't like...

    Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!” And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is [b]for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Mark 10:23-25



    And, it seems God agrees with me regarding the awful radio station. A lightning strike started a forest fire near where the station antennae is on a nearby mountain.

    A fire is burning on Moscow Mountain this morning.

    Moscow Rural Fire Department Volunteers were called to the blaze around 2:30 after a thunderstorm rolled through the area. Chief Brian Nickerson says the fire is burning about 5 acres of slash and timber. Crews were assembling and trying to get to the blaze around sunrise this morning. Idaho Department of Lands and Moscow City Volunteer Firefighters have been called in to assist. The fire is on the South slope of the mountain near the radio towers on West Twin. Nickerson believes the fire was likely sparked by lightning.

    Same here, I'm more at peace with my own thoughts anyway.

    I rarely turn on the radio anymore. At home I have the Internet (don't watch much TV either), and I download podcasts to my phone to listen to while I'm on the road. I no longer have much patience for letting someone else decide what I get to hear and when I get to hear it.

    Houston has a decent talk radio station but goes to baseball or basketball when there are games on, daytime or evening. There's a radio in my workshop and I'll listen to baseball but not basketball. The classic rock station is mostly automated and only seems to have 100 or so songs in rotation so I don't bother with that station any more. One talk station and one classic rock station in a metro area of 6 million is pitiful. Looking forward to having my sound system set up in the shop so I can play what I want.

    I never listen to the radio in my vehicle. Instead, I listen closely to every sound it makes!! Never owned a new car or truck, prefer to spend that payment on housing and groceries. Of course a "car payment" is required every so often, but that's OK. There is no free lunch.
