Yeah, but the senile old farts still believe they are not only
*first responders* but that they are on the cutting edge
of technology. Let them wallow in their delusions of how
important ham radio is.

Our "radio" club is more of a social circle. Rarely is anything
technical dicussed, just gossip about other hams. We
meet at Golden Corral. When someone brings their kids along,
the senile old farts start yammering about future hams, and when
is he going to get his ham ticket? Meanwhile, the kids sit
there and eat with iPods stuck in their ears, cell phones in their
hands, and chattering about IM and MySpace.com All of
which may just as well be a foreign language to the delusional
old farts. LOL!


Serves the OF right! They should not have invented and developed that stuff,
shudda stayed with stone tablets.
This year we celebrate Tesla's 150th birthday - da first hams and greatest
engineering genius that gave us so much, yet those with iPods that can't
read their diplomas have no clue.
