Party like it's...

Happy April. The month when hope returns to my small, meaningless life. When daylight savings time comes back and I'm not afraid to go out after 4pm.

On the other hand, April 1st is a great day to get your brains beaten in by practical jokes and bad humor. I got hit with one today. I can't wait to get up tomorrow to find out if the hell continues. I'm hoping it's an April Fool's Joke; I'm pretty sure it's not.

One of our presets on the radio is 93.7, the Eagle. They play 70's and 80's music, basically, my music, the stuff I know all the words to, listened to in high school, you get the picture.  Well this morning they were playing 1999 and I though "Oh, hey, everything considered, I haven't really heard it too many times this year, possibly because I didn't listen to the radio the whole first week of January."   And then an announcement, that at 3pm there was going to be a "new" radio station.  I've lived this nightmare before, when my favorite FAVORITE station became Oldies 103 and played lots of Motown and "Town Without Pity" and the announcers always sound like they are broadcasting from inside a large coffee can.

I patiently waited until the end of the day, when I could listen in the car to see what was going on.

Disco.

Disco disco disco. And some modern dance stuff (that new Cher song, for example), and then some more disco. I got to hear "Le Freak" and "Emotion" by Samantha Sang, because I couldn't bring myself to change the station. Real live disco music. And my husband tells me there is a "chain" of them, which means that dammit, this probably is a permanent change.

So I have an opening in both cars for a new station to preset. Because I'd rather listen to the blank spaces between the stations.

Y2K Compliance Statement

The Big Dumptruck is not Y2K compliant. We are aware of the gravity of the Y2K situation and the possibility that anyone in an elevator at midnight on New Year's Eve will likely be killed the instant Dick Clark says "Happy New Year." But dammit, we're too busy building a bunker in the back yard to worry about whether or not people are going to get confused when I say, for example, that my license is good until '01 and that I've been driving illegally for over 90 years.

I recommend that you buy some canned green beans and print out copies of past Dumps to read in your own bunker (or, if you don't have one, any toolshed reinforced with tin foil.)
