SACRILEGE!  The regulars on here will never, EVER accept this!  They honestly believe that radio peeps should be hired for life and never, ever change responsibilities.  They believe the preceding article is "fake news".  No, what their reality is Chum-circa 1969 -- frozen in time.

6 more weeks and my 'cable days' are done.  Gonna set up a whole new 'way' of doin' stuff when I step away from this house.  Those thieves are toast.

Hope the move goes smoothly O.C. and if perchance you would care to share the "deets" on the "whole new 'way' of doin' stuff" idiot box wise afterwards, while not, ahem, incriminating yourself, it would be most interesting to read.

I'm sure it'll be 'up and uppish'.  The little lady thinks my telling the local cable eh-holes to stuff it wouldn't be right.  Them?  I don't mind sticking it to them.  But incurring her wrath wouldn't work. 

Part of the plan will include what we call the '"funny box".

Details should clarify themselves by mid-May to early June depending on how fast I feel like bringing it all together.  I will avoid spending another night in jail if I can.  And prison is completely out of the question...might run into Donald Trump there and I doubt that I'd be able to hold my tongue.

Cable is theft.  It's a license to steal.  Whoever participates is an accomplice in said crime.  And, now that I think about it, my subscribing to their 'service' is certainly aiding and abetting too.  There's only a one day statute of limitations though so I'm getting while the getting is good.
