On this morning’s Coffeebreak…
At the beginning of this morning’s show, Rick made the announcement that today is an important day–it’s his mother’s birthday. Happy Birthday to Rose Chasteen.
Mention was made that in spite of the change to fall, we are still experiencing summer weather–today’s high will be near 90°. Is it due to global warming? Peggy and Terry think so, Rick’s unsure.
Rick asked a question to Terry–Rick asked Terry whether he had smelled the stench around Pleasant Street. Rick had been stopped by someone, and asked whether it was due to the new waste water treatment plant. Rick believes that it may just be the river. (Personally, I agree… There is a smell over in the Ladish area…) Rick plans to find out.
Rick asked when fall break was for the Harrison County Board of Education. A caller informed Rick that break is the week of October 8th (this is listed on the Board of Ed. website). Rick thanked the audience for listening – the Coffeebreak Nation.
Rick mentioned that he believed that people need to laugh more–it seems that not near enough people enjoy a good laugh. This led into the discussion of Abe Lincoln being on a plane. Apparently in regard to the Lincoln story, Al Roker had said something very amusing on The Today Show during the cutaway to the local weather–to which all on the New York set were laughing, and those at WLEX were rolling as well.
Rick announced that today’s show would be an open mic forum. Rick offered two suggestions for callers: WCYN’s programming and the website. These subjects were never touched.
One elderly woman called in with a question in regards to the condition of the Pleasant Street Bridge (Terry referred to it as the Belmont Bridge). The caller asked who has the responsibility of maintaining the bridge–the city, county, or state? Rick had no immediate answer. Rick will find the answer to this question at a later date.
Another woman called in asking about a noise in the broadcast–an underlying hum that is audible during the Coffeebreak show and Trading Post. The caller also raised an issue where she believes that there is a dire need for a “sit-down family restaurant” similar to that of Cracker Barrel or Golden Corral. The caller believes that it is a shame that the citizens in Cynthiana must drive out of town to enjoy a decent meal.
Terry believes that the problem may be related to a problem that happened over the past weekend–an amplifier blew on the transmitter.
Another caller stated what he believed might be the cause of the stench. Out of curiosity, the caller tells us, he had drove to the new waste water treatment plant to see what a million and a half dollars was worth, and noticed the unkempt fence row in front of the building. The caller asked whether Rick knew if there were plans to clean the mess up. Rick stated that there weren’t any plans to clean the mess. Rick informed the caller that he would call back to tell him more of the story in private.
In reference to the prior call on local dining, Terry asked how long it had been since the closing of McKnight’s Boarding House. Rick plans to research that query.
The final caller on the show was a nearly 80-year old woman, who stated that her father had worked on the Pleasant Street bridge in 1936. The company that erected the structure was Clark, Stewart, and Wood. They had attempted to erect the bridge once and much to their misfortune floodwaters washed all the forms and materials away. Rick asked the caller when she was born, to which the caller replied December 27, 1927. Rick encouraged the caller to call back on that date, so that he might wish her a happy eightieth birthday.
Coffeebreak’s sponsors were:
BluegrassTradingPost.com, Bourbon Community Hospital, Jetubs, Cockrell’s Auto Center, Whalen & Company, Eastside Pharmacy, and the Harrison County Board of Education

Randomness….
I’ve got a headache…
Nivea just said hi, for some reason…
Taron’s running around in circles…
Niv’s pushing a crate around…
I’m outta cigarettes, and my dip is in the van…
The coffee is cold…
I’m hungry…
Niv just said bye…
Taron’s pushing the crate now…
I have a nice sized cavity in one of my wisdom teeth… It’s the one that came in sideways, and points outward, towards my cheek. I hate my teeth. I hate my smile. There’s only one other part of my body I dislike, other than my smile…
…bleh.
this is growing old, so i think i’ll actually write something….
I went to the office this morning, and spent a grand portion of the day there, playing around with the computers. I had a little snag here, at home before I left, involving Diana’s mp3 player–I couldn’t get the computer to recognize it, or so I thought. Turns out that the computer kept assigning it a drive letter I had reserved for a web-folder. I didn’t figure this out until I opened the device manager, and saw that the computer was loading the generic mass storage drivers. Following that I loaded the disk management console and saw that the device was assigned the wrong letter. Problem solved.
Now, I’ve got another problem going on at the office. Herb’s computer is having issues, which can easily be fixed by a quick re-install of windows, but I have no idea where the disc is… I may just save all his docs and put something else on there if I can’t find the stupid restore CD. He won’t care, and probably won’t notice. All he uses the thing for is email and the occasional use of word.
Dad’s notebook is pretty nice–similar to the one I have in pawn. I put pcAnywhere on it, and his primary office computer, so that he can connect to everything from home. It works great through a broadband connection, we’ll see about dialup… Oh, get this, his primary pc doesn’t have a modem. That pissed me off. I was planning to set the sucker up so he could dial into it. Oh, well. Internet connection works. Took a bit to figure out how to do it (meaning I actually had to read the instructions), but it was pretty easy…
I need to clean the van. Hell, I need to clean the car, for that matter. It’s just the van looks a bit worse now–a clean exterior and a messy interior. Yeah, we had to wash the thing the other day. Sunday, actually. We awoke to find that the poor thing had fallen victim to a drive-by paint-balling in the night. Savages. I felt better when the cop told us that we weren’t the only one–it seems that someone (or a group) had shot several cars on Pike Street. I hadn’t checked the records in the Democrat to see if the report was published. Probably not. Most likely be in next weeks paper.
I missed out on listening to Coffeebreak this morning. Sorry. No updates for Coffeebreak. I know. You’re deeply saddened. Well, I didn’t get a chance to tell you about Thursday’s show… Rick interviewed Joe Joe. They spoke about the homecoming stuff – it’s been rescheduled for October 24th. That’s pretty much it.
No other news to speak of. Unless you wanna know about what’s going on in scannerland… Obie’s stumbling down River Road.
There were two fires earlier today. A house in Connersville, and a grass fire in Berry. Charlie bitched about people not reading the paper. It seems that the grassfire was caused by a controlled burn – and burning has been banned until further notice due to the dry conditions.
Well, the kids are at my elbows now, so I think I’d better go play….

Do Not Call Listings to Expire in 2008
Do Not Call Listings to Expire in 2008
Ant writes “Yahoo! News report that the cherished dinner hour void of telemarketers could vanish next year for millions of people when phone numbers begin dropping off the national/United States (U.S.)’s Do Not Call list. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which oversees the list, says there is a simple fix. But some lawmakers think it is a hassle to expect people to re-register their phone numbers every five years. Numbers placed on the registry, begun in June 2003, are valid for five years. For the millions of people who signed onto the list in its early days, their numbers will automatically drop off beginning next June if they do not enroll again.”

MIT Student Arrested For Wearing 'Tech Art' Shirt At Airport
MIT Student Arrested For Wearing ‘Tech Art’ Shirt At Airport
SuperBanana writes “According to a report by the Boston Globe, MIT Student Star Simpson was nearly shot by Logan Airport police who thought she was armed with a bomb. She approached an airline employee wearing a prototyping board with electronic components, crudely attached to the front of her sweatshirt and holding ‘putty’ in her hand. She asked about an incoming flight, and did not respond when asked about the device. Armed police responded. ‘Simpson was charged with possessing a hoax device and was arraigned today East Boston Municipal Court. She was held on $750 cash bail and ordered to return to court Oct. 29. “Thankfully because she followed our instructions, she ended up in our cell instead of a morgue,” Pare said. “Again, this is a serious offense … I’m shocked and appalled that somebody would wear this type of device to an airport.”‘”
