I don't generally do searches at all... and I'm sure that one tends to be most comfortable with what one usuall uses... BM>>>> Make sure have working batteries..... NB>>>> You've already been working on that... :) BM>>> Now if the Sun would shine.... Overcast today with a 50-50 chance of BM>>> rain, maybe a thunderstorm tomorrow is Easter Sunday and 80% chance of BM>>> rain. Monday might snow but probably not acumulate..... NB>>> We've had similar weather off and on... this morning there was snow NB>>> on the ground, and it's still quite chilly (high to be around 40)... NB>>> but at least the sun is shining brightly in through my window at the NB>>> moment... :) BM>> Most of yesterday was coolish in the 50's and low 60's and then early BM>> evening was 76ø!

Then cooler and more normal next week. Planning on BM> doing some yard work today as have Autumn tomorrow. Hope you got things accomplished... ;) We're back to freeze warnings almost every night this week... and I did hear thunder this afternoon... NB>>>>> Surprise, surprise.... ;) Once there were any stations, every NB>>>>> locality would want their own.... and then there would be more than NB>>>>> one, competing with different formats.... BM>>>> Yup, or even same/similar formats: "I can do it better!". NB>>>> Probably a slight variation on the original formats, though... NB>>>> One is Top 40, another is Top 40 plus the 10 below them.... BM>>> "All Brahms, all the time! This is WZZZ!" NB>>> That's not quite fair...! Most of Brahms's music is lively... :) NB>>> Take for instance his Hungarian Rhapsodies... or the Academic Overture, NB>>> or, for that matter, the fast movements of his symphonies... :) And NB>>> so forth... ;) BM>> Those are played on WEEE!! NB>> Yeah, right... ;) BM> No?! ...Wonder if they play _The Flight of the Bumblebee_ on BM> WBZ?! (I know it for Channel 4, WBZ-FM is sports radio format, WBZ-AM BM> is talk radio.) They could steal it to play under their station IDs... ;) ttyl neb ....
