Is this ever broadcast anymore? What are we teaching our children?

#4 Sigh... this poem was all over the Air Force when I was there. (1977-1997 for anyone keeping track of this kind of minutia)

It was on Garrison Kieller's daily poetry/public radio thingy today, so I guess that it hasn't entirely gone down the civilian memory hole.

Speaking about Texas Public Radio - they let all the regular part-time announcers go this week. Every one of us, some of whom have been working there for fifteen years or so.

Apparently, they want to put the money saved into the news department - and to automate most of the weekend and evening shifts that we worked. This means that now I really have to make a lot of money from my books! (The Adelsverein Trilogy is coming out in December - this is the series about the Texas Hill Country Germans. Insert shameless mercantile plea here - please buy my book!)
