kamomilWell I'm having a funner evening tonight.
I now have a referral for a specialist so my mind is eased - for now anyhow.
My cat was zooming around my apartment, playing solo hockey. :D
I bought some patch cables, and I randomly hooked up my shortwave radio to my stereo so I am listening to it in a more central location. I may do that with my scanner too. In a moment I will do what I originally meant to with one of these cables, solder it to the stupid FM transmitter that I used to use for my CD portable player, so I could hear it on my car's FM radio, that is until the wires started to loosen. I am going to mcgyver it a bit more so it is more stable and less prone to shorting out... we shall see. I would like to get a better car stereo but the car is very old and... ha ha, when we bought it, there was evidence of damage of the old owner trying to remove their car stereo. All they got off was the removable faceplate, so we were stuck with a car stereo with no control panel, until my dad put in a basic AM/FM unit. (:o)
Anyhow I am listening to Radio Netherlands news in English. I was confused at first because the newsreader had an obvious American accent... but sometimes ex-pats are the ones reading the news on stations like that. However when they interview locals, I totally know Dutch accents because where I grew up had lots of Dutch speaking people.
