Redundant opportunity

posted in ham radio, politics |

Who knew? At the very moment where I’m awaiting delivery of a radio that serves as a scanner, I discover that the local good stuff is being streamed on the net. Kind of makes things redundant.

But that’s just the way it goes. I mean, the net could go away (if I stopped paying my tithe to the church of the ISP). Then, the radio would provide a fallback position. In case I felt the need to listen to the local fire department, or the coast guard, or the airport. Public service at my service.

After spending countless millions to reward the man, and discover his guilt, and reward him yet again, the latest investigation into the extracurricular business dealings of a former prime minister has come to the conclusion that something might not have been quite “right”. He might have been a conservative, but he was bent every which way. No need to name names; his place in history is assured.

This is hypothetical. What if you went to the car dealer and shopped for a vehicle that could haul, say, a small camping trailer. Had the dealer install a hitch and the necessary wiring. Ready for any eventuality. And then, you shop and find a trailer that fits your budget. However, the dealer then notifies you that your new vehicle actually can’t tow a real trailer, but it’s too late to change your contract. Do yu have any recourse?

I didn’t think so. After all, car dealers aren’t expected to tell the truth. Hypothetically.
