Her Variety obit was a mile long. What a career. And how special it must’ve been to have had her as a friend.

Oh yes. Hams use many types of modes to communicate--code (aka CW), voice, digital, etc. I like it because it's simple, yet highly effective, particularly for working stations in other countries.

Yum! The noms look so good! I think we'll have one of everything. What do you think Sheldon....oh, he wants to know what am I going to have. *Sigh* Better make it two of everything, likely thirds before the day's out. --Bobbi

After hanging out with Earl and Jules all night and morning, you’d think we’d be all in. But Sheldon firmly believes there’s no such thing as too many sossidges. Thanks, HQ. —Bobbi #HWCafe #Hedgewatch

Hooray for Ft Collins! VT plays Cal. Hoom sez they have a new coach who’s restoring the program, but Cal may be too tough of a test. We don’t care, though VT wins sometimes means tuna for us 😻😻

@jolo729.bsky.social Hi Shadow. If there’s room on the playlist, creaky old hoom suggest’s Jimmy Buffett’s version on “Brown-Eyed Girl,” a tropical take on a Van Morrison classic. —Bobbi & Sheldon

Thanks, Pals! BTW there's a story in hoom's family that they're related somehow to the real Blackbeard the pirate. We think it's more fun than fact, but if it makes him happy... Oh gosh, there goes Sheldon swinging from the yardarm. Heads up, everybody! --Bobbi #HWCafe #Hedgewatch

I'm afraid it'll take decades to undo everything, assuming there are no interruptions in the process. And at 68 yo, I'm not sure I'll live to see it.
