There's one thing about power outages that puts me in a state of depressed nostalgia. Or is it nostalgic depression. Anyway ...There's no point in having a battery operated radio because there's no local radio to turn to. No local radio news. I was in radio when it was an important part of the community. You could could find out everything from who died (yes, there were daily radio obits) to who hit a pole and took out the power. Local radio announcers, news directors and deejays were public figures. We were stars. Today's only radio stars are Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern. I'm not about to buy batteries to listen to them.
