WOWO

iT'S 5:39 A.M. and Earthdog Patrick is outside. It's 68 degrees and outside the window there is slight ground fog.

STS Discovery is due to land shortly in California, at least that's what they say on WOWO, 1190 AM in Ft. Wayne Indiana, an all-talk radio station. I used to listen to WOWO almost 50 years ago growing up in Clearwater , Fla. I had an old wooden table radio by my bed and late at night I would pick up WOWO, then a 50,000 watt clear channel station to listen to top forty rock and roll. Could also pick up KAAY in (Little Rock?) and WLS, the Dick Bianati(sic) show in Chicago-- it seems all the clear channel station's frequencies ended in 90 in those days, the 60's--the still night of our ranch-home neighborhood, newly coverted from a grapefruit grove, punctuated only by the lonesome wail of the Orange Blossom Special... who knew then I would end up thirty miles from WOWO's transmitter?So it goes.
