Hey Don,

I had Zoomer  fair here last night carrying the George Burns/Gracie Allen Show. Nulling out local Co Channel WJIB 740 is always a challenge. Zoomer  had  it's typical steady beat flutter up against the JIBster.

George Burns  was the quintessential dry humor comedian.  In one of his stand-ups he said "I'm so old when i go to a diner and order a 3 minute egg they ask me to pay in advavce".

Gotta love it.

George Burns... classic... when comedy was funny and it was OK to smoke a cigar.

Anyway, Zoomer is pegging the meter here tonight.
The 70s at 7...  @0045Z  "It Never Rains in Southern California"
Kinda took me back to the 70s at NAS North Island... oh well.
