...yes, you were missed... ...and I'm sorry you had to subject yourself to the horror known as AM radio. I think I would prefer a visit from the Zombie Apocalypse, to having to deal with that for weeks on end...

of the Zombie Apocalypse! I need to get a sony playstation!

I hope this doesn't seem selfish of me but I often counted on you for happy posts.

And I always pass along your music posts to my daughter. lol, she seems to like your music much more than mine.

If you have a tablet or smartphone, don't forget DU has a mobile site. A little bit tougher to navigate but will do in a pinch when the laptop is resting.

I have a "dumbphone". No internet at all. A tablet might be a nice idea eventually, at least It would be better than..."CBSNEWS! Donald Trump said something stupid last night, (plays clip very short) and that's the News on CBS RADIO!"

bleh!

until i got a tablet. lol My cell service provider (T-Mobile) was having a sale and I got a Samsung Galaxy tab A a few months ago and now I hardly ever have my laptop out. It's just much easier to use the tablet. Email and web-browsing and candy crushing. All are easier than lugging out my 17" Asus that weighs a half a ton and heats up like my car engine.

Welcome "home"!

I even have a keyboard that reads Japanese now! Yay!

wireless back and hence my Roku service.

I don't think many realize how lame and uninformative our US MSM is unless they peruse international sources of news.

Welcome back!!!

The only thing good for my am transistor Radio is listening to Giants games, provided I am not in a spot where the signal is dead. (Not that I really missed much, ugh!! STOP losing games guys!!)

DSL modem, all the land line phones and the TV. I am not sure about the printer and freezer. They may be dying slowly. We are still getting back to normal here.

When we did get power and TV again, I, too, was surprised by how terrible the MSM is. That was our only source for almost a week.

I listen to BBC world news service on the weekends. It is informative. We need to know what the rest of the world is saying. (They were a great source during the height of the Brexit vote).

I have made it a point to listen to some am radio every day for the last 45 years. I have watched good radio stations destroyed and rebuild with the pure garbage on today. I loved talk radio when everyone could call in , discuss local or national issues and the host was usually neutral... maybe slightly left or right but everyone got to speak and was not ridiculed. I also remember about this time the order was put out in the evangelical churches to get on every local board they could to be able to be involved in the direction the community was taking. School boards, Planning & Zoning, any board at all and work up to local& state government... This approach worked and that is how the extremes started to take hold little by little in the modern republican party. I hope more than anything that Trump can be the straw that can break this horribly distorted Elephant's back.

I got tired of scanning the radio dial, finding WESTWOOD ONE RADIO EVERY WHERE and Sean Hanninty's sniveling little voice every where praising just how Donald Trump is the next Second coming of the son of God, and where ever he walks, rose petals form!

Genki?

genki desu, Hatrick wa? Arigatou!

arigatou!

Sorry to hear about your computer troubles.

I'm posting this on a cheap chromebook. It makes a great backup computer and I can throw it in my luggage without much worry when I travel.

Whenever I travel I lose things, and some places I travel to there are people who would steal clean socks and soap along with a computer.

I didn't think I'd like a chromebook because I usually do most things from a bash shell, and there's a notorious DU troll who posts from a chromebook, but I do like it.

Sounds like an ad, doesn't it?

I'm always interested in what you have to say on DU.

Welcome back.

Pad might be the way to go. I am a news junkie, and listening to a 20 second news bite of how dog bites man, because he was on the "democrat party" is just so stupid!!

I do have some green tea ice cream left. Hey do you know how good Pure Maple syrup and Raspberry Jam is on Green Tea Ice cream?? wow! I discovered this myself!

That was my station in the bay area.

I been just wanting to listen to my friend KATE SCOTT who is the first woman to actually broadcast an NFL GAME (49ERS) preseason. Kate is wonderful. She does Traffic, Weather and Sports on SPORTS RADIO KNBR ... I just love her and she is a great friend!

When I lived in SoCal I listened to Ray Taliaferro. KGO would come in clear as a bell from hundreds of miles. Of course, KGO was messed up in Dec. 2011 when they fired all their classic announcers.

Now I live in rural west Michigan. We have lots of public radio here, but AM basically sucks.

Welcome back. And yes, I usually click through to your posts. I noticed you hadn't posted.

John Rothman is the only fairly decent one left, and he only appears if someone is out ill. Now I have stuck by KNBR and listen to the local sports jocks, like Tom Tolbert, Fitz and Brooks, and of course I love Kate Scott, (mentioned above) not to mention Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper (both former pitchers for the SF Giants) talk about Giants Baseball. "attababe!"

He amuses me, it's just radio, but some of his minions are stalker horror nasty, the kind you have to get yourself a new email address.

I liked listening to Bernie Ward, but alas, it seems he was creepy Catholic.

My big Catholic family has creepy Catholic experience, which is why my mom is not Catholic, and one of the reasons I was sweating at my own Big Catholic Wedding. As a kid I'd witnessed a girl fight between my mom and a Catholic Bishop.

Thanks,

I was chatting with someone the other day who said he's a big Giants fan. I said 'Oh, I have a friend who loves the Giants.' I was thinking of you!

They are now 1 1/2 games behind the Dodgers right now. Were in first place since May, Oh well, they will get their mojo back, I hope!

ありがとうございました! doumo arigatou!

Welcome back home.

...from one Bay Area person to another!

Mostly in the 60's in the city but around the bay, and inlands in the 90's and 100s! I guess all the fires don't help with the air quality, either!

I've heard about the ferocious inland temps and am glad I am not experiencing them!

Stay cool!

I always tell my friend that 90% of the reason I keep coming here is the music recommends. And I haven't had any new ones for a while! I NEED MAH NEW MUSIC RECOMMENDS, YUI!!

FYI.

rather than have to go without !

WOOT!!
