Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Could the deer in that PIC´s be an FM DX´er, by that nice FM Beam? I miss FM DX´ing, that I was able to do years ago, since today the FM Band is so littered with FM Translators. Even FM Stations around Charleston / Huntington, WV market, that did IBOC HD Radio didn´t help, with their protruding extra-wide bandwidths. Still, FM DX´ing can still be done, but not as well as it was -40 years ago. Heck, I still remember the FM dead-spot, Lyman Run, about 12 miles SW of Galeton, PA. I tuned on the nice stereo in our new 1982 Pontiac Phoenix. No FM stations were picked-up there. That´s not true today. Alright, enough of that tangent.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
