Hello to Alice Tuttle, I always think of her on a Saturday morning, that was always her day to do her housecleaning, and the day we usually visited her, so Alice comes to mind.
Saturday mornings used to mean radio shows, then television shows when the kids were growing up, and, then it just became another day. When I was working, it meant a day off, a shopping day, we used to almost have a Saturday Schedule that we adhered to. It often meant ..... football, in the old days, listening to Notre Dame on the radio, I forget the guys that did the play by play, Mel Allen, Red Barber, I think Tom Harmon also did some.
Football on radio was great, more vivid than on TV. There were a few sports magazines with those great poses in it, the outlook for the team, the Army-Navy game, great on radio.
Now, the Saturday morning news revolves around Ebola and school shootings and ISIS .... sickness and terrorism and senseless shootings. Almost daily, we see school children running out of their schools, hands raised, running to safety, and shootings, so many shootings.
Truck crashes are also a common occurrence any more, someone questioned why they were happening, obviously someone who does not drive. They are caused by excessive speeding, weaving in and out of traffic and being on the road too long, and, there are thousands of trucks on the road, all speeding, all in a hurry.
Nice story, a little boy who will not live till Christmas ... a town in Utah, that has Halloween and Christmas early, just for him .... there are good people in the world ...
