What we have here is a failure to communicate

What we have here is a failure to communicate. The powers that are, and even the ones that will soon, germinate like a bad weed after the Don is sworn in, wont address some issues that few talked about or were covered over during the election by both the candidates as well as main press media. During the election, there was little to no talk about issues relating to rural America, including farm policy. You did not hear much in the way of highway bills, transportation infrastructure including trucking and regulations. Nobody cares about where their food is raised and or processed , or how it gets to that Shelf at Walmart. Nope you did not hear that. You also did not hear about the spectrum auction for TV called the incentive auction, asking TV station owners to sell out or some of their side channels from the digital conversion. Whose buying that? The Feds are doing a spectrum land grab, so that your cell phone works better and in more places. Okay now you may say well I can watch it on line. Really? In October President Obama turned over the majority of control to the United Nations. Meaning committees in foreign nations can now control what you see and have access to online. They will regulate content, and website ownership. The full impact of this will not be felt for at least a year, but hold onto to diapers , cause it'll happen. Then we heard how upset Obama was about the hacking of the DNC election files. Thing is, Obama handed over the domestic authority to the UN so who can regulate? 
I saw on one of the FB pages I subscribe to about about the teaching of the history and all of the war of Northern aggression. By Yankees. However there are only two online as well as only one over the air source of information teaching the history of both sides of the Dixie line. The first is Dixie Broadcasting, at www.dixiebroadcasting.com there are speeches and lessons there that few partake of and few contribute real money to, thus Dixie Broadcasting is barely on life support. The other is us, here at HazzardAyre Radio/TV. Launched in 2011 with a slightly more aggressive stance and style HazzardAyre Radio is on, both Livestream at www.livestream.com/hazzardayre and on Spreaker.com . Likewise throughout the Mountain West, on Knytes owned radio stations and nation wide in syndication. More over we have renewed our contract with the Armed Forces Radio Television Service as well as will launch in April a channel on XM/Sirius Satellite. When I read the posts by so many except that of two, of people who are barking at changing the minds of Yankees towards our southern brethren, likewise educating even Yankees of the history of Southern culture and changing the mind thoughts of those who who think that just because you speak with a southern accent that your not dealing with a full deck, in fact say ya'll , or you'ns which is ya'll plus 5, to most northeners and the automaticly deduct at least 3 IQ points. Yet ask for a donation request from any body and its awe can't do that, yet even with people on Social Security who got what a $3.00 boost? Still have at least $50.00 to $100.00 left over each month and many will spend that on a weekend out at the bar . $100.00 may not seem like much, but if 20 or 30 so called Confederate supporters sent in a $100.00 a piece, that'd be half of our operational expenses. The bottom line its like paying tithing at church. Are you willing to sacrifice a creature comfort or a bit of a mental unplug, to help correct some of the injustices that have been made against not only our southern brethren, but our nation as well. It's like our military Veterans, how many causes of supporting those who served as well as still do. For that matter how about rolling out a contribution, to the Knytes, an organization that is here for the resurrection of southern culture as well as appreciation of our Armed Forces, no matter the branch of service. The Knytes of Dixie, does not care if you were born in the south or have ancestors , although many do, from or in the south, like other Southern related organizations do, if you believe in our southern heritage and are brave enough to be educated about the truth, we welcome you. But even with us that does not come free. Some people that are directly connected to the Knytes, even as my fiance , rakes out $500.00 a month from a mere $735.00 SSI income. She believes. Our Southern Sister from Texas makes pillows and such that the club can resell and market, making her as well as the Knytes some extra pocket change. My question is what are the rest of you going to do. Look we had a dictator in the White House for 8 years, now we have a Wall Street hoodlum business man in that place and little will change no matter what others and Tomi Lauren tells you. The only cure to the power hungry politicians is our simple southern logic. And yes even what I call Hazzard County tenacity and enginuity (mis-spelled on purpose) The only way that happens is keeping our voice to be heard and seen through HazzardAyre and Dixie Diesel Radio/TV. That takes dollars, and we are looking for donations. More over we are looking for those that are truly dedicated to the Southern Cause.

When the Cell Phone dies and its too snowy to do anything outside

Last night once I got here to my domicile, with a serious snow storm, and snow up to the back of the shop door, when my cell phone's battery gave out, I turned in to my bed, closed my eyes and only awakened long enough to take meds at midnight and to squirt. Once I had that done, it was back to a galaxy far, far, far, away, and I didn't really care about anything. So with the snow outside and only 30 degrees outside, my butt is inside doing my radio production, writing a script for the Hazzard Knytes' movie, and resting. Now many say its your season, you should be towing. Trouble is I can't go out towing, one because of a radiator leak, and two the snow is too deep outside my shop door to even get any of the trucks out, so I'm farming off much of my tow traffic to a competitor who is also a good friend. For the small money I make going towing, its just not worth the stress on the trucks nor me. So I'm nestled inside.
So then expenses, are getting higher, this year rent is going up, but even at that, with this severe cold, natural gas costs are also higher. Especially with the little bit of insulation that was or is in this domicile. to get 75 inside one has to run the thermostat up to near 90. 
If anyone says women aren't territorial don't know the half of it. You can be super happy and doing okay, but if you begin working around a slightly higher quality honey, its snarl city. For that matter is everything, withing humans all directed to or do they have to be about the carnal physical get wild thing? I watched an episode of I think it was Spyn City the other night The challenge was could the character played by Mike J Fox, to focus on something other than a womans breasts. The first place I look at when I first meet a woman is her feet, followed by her toes and how well , or not she takes care of them. This is a good indicator of how well she takes care of the rest of her and how well she keeps herself clean. If they ignore the feet and toes they most likely ignore the rest of their anatomy and that means, don't go there. The next thing I notice if their wearing nylons or stockings of sort. Reason, if they wear nylons and such their most likely more into both being classy not trashy and are more into being sensuious rather than just stroking. Trust me the guy who knows how to treat a woman in hose, gets a lot more points than a guy who just jabs it in rolls over and goes to sleep. Long periods of foreplay , caressing a set of silky smooth legs gets her hotter than a two dollar Smith and Wesson. The next place I venture is with my nose. Strange smells or more than anything attracting means you might take home a worse than happy experience. Too much underarm, etc smells means there's more growing under her jeans than something to please. Next her hair, is it styled? If not she don't care about herself, and that means if your looking for something pleasant , it ain't going to be pleasant. What I do not like is 33 double D, breasts. Who needs that much ? Most guys I know, and me, do not play with anything more than a nipple, which is usually about the same size no matter if its double D's, or mini A's. Flat tummy's are a plus, I knew this one dancer at the 91 Club in Pocatello, Idaho. She was walking around the establishment whilest I was chatting with an exec from KPIF in Pocatello. She was selling body shots. I seriously had to feel her tummy, and ask do you even have a tummy? It was so flat and trim, that it was not even visable. A couple of gals there made an impression. Too bad they worked there and not some place proper like a talent agency. Speaking of which. When I cast for talent, I'm looking for brains and intelligence, not just a plump body, being squeezed inside a pair of yoga pants, or leather jeans. First the leather sours the private parts to where nobody would ever want to visit there, and second I want natural beauty, not manufactured. However all too many series and movies have women dressed in things especially their drawers that are so tight that you can't help but notice every crease and wrinkle. Even the illustrious Disney Channel does that. Here they have 13 to 25 year olds dressed in things that are singing do the wild thing, that it detracts from the script or at least the message. The old show on Disney called Jessie, starring Debby Ryan, who I am a great fan of, and has done two or three episodes of Law & Order, and got a serious ticket for DUI, in California, but she does get the job done, but she dressed per wardrobe department of Disney , so trashy and more adult oriented I wondered what has Disney became. I can assure you old Walter would roll over in his grave. While most of us are telling our kids wait until marriage, we have the Disney Channel telling our kids through their shows, Hey feel the need, just go ahead and breed. 
Well it's my lunch time, I'll have the second part of this , later today.

Mass media in jeapordy technology in Rural America in danger

Mass media and that includes Internet is in Jeapordy in America, for that matter technology as far as broadband hyper quick Internet in rural America. When I say Rural America its not just small farms or in the sticks, I'm talking medium to small towns, whether that's Hazzard Idaho or Evanston Wyoming don't matter the connection and both upload as well as download speed but also that of the bandwidth that our metro counterparts enjoy. 
During the last two years of Bush Junior's Presidency there was this mad rush to move most if not all rural TV stations, off of analog signals to digital.. Why? The promise was to allow the creation of a government provided broadband hyper speed Internet that would be available on a sliding scale, and supported by tax dollars. What happened was A.T.&.T, Verizon and Sprint jumped in and bought that white space, but only expanded Cell phone ability, not computer internet ability. Sure Google and a few others have barked about 1 gig, service in say Salt Lake City, but it'll be a long time coming if ever that the same ability will be attained in say Twin Falls Idaho, Evanston Wyoming, or Wells Nevada. Just wont happen. Obviously there is the market observation by these big telecom giants even CenturyLink, that these communities do not deserve or can't support these telecom or Internet giants like the metro areas. Yet its our rural people that supply the one thing all humans and even animals require, that is food. Should not our farmers and ranchers deserve the same fiber optic capability that our city counterparts get? What about our smaller rural towns. And why say something is available or could be available when in fact telecom giants like CenturyLink, and such say they can provide. Example, Our first shop, damn near in the middle of town , could have fiber optic. Said I could get the same bandwidth as the middle of town. So I hooked up. Since AllWest our local cable company said would cost $12,000.00 to run a cable wire down not even a quarter of a mile from Bear River Drive to our shop. So I signed up with CenturyLink. Best it could do was maybe 2 up and at best 4mbps down. Even then the idiots at CenturyLink never could send the bill to our command office. They mailed it to the address of the shop, that nobody could find a key for , for that mailbox. Really? When I had em hook up to the house, I said this is what I need, they said yes, same story; 2 up, maybe 3mbps down, called CenturyLink up 3 times, on my AllWest phone said take this damn thing out of here. They didn't listen. So now CenturyLink wants $1,500.00 for a service that repeatedly I told them did not work, and I will not pay for. Hell even their local field tech said it'd not work or work well. Big companies though need to look at these albeit slowly growing, communities. Now I am not the biggest defender of Evanston, Wyoming here. But dig this Evanston is within a 100 mile radius of metro Salt Lake City, business's are coming back to this area again albeit slowly. Just at our original shop, there are about 25 individual shops of various forms there. All would rapdly go CenturyLink or for that matter AllWest or whoever that would invest in the infrastructure to germinate faster speed and bigger bandwidth. Even considering Twin Falls Idaho. When I drifted from there mainly due to the inability of CenturyLink to provide the horsepower to upload our constant flow to our network, there was maybe 44,000 people there. Today with Twin Falls Idaho, has nearly 75,000 people and I can't count how many new big factories there, yet companies like CenturyLink, Cable-One, and others have not increased the internet horsepower that these business's need. Except 2. A wireless company called SpeedConnect, and one called Project Mutual. Project Mutual is a co-op telecom, based in Rupert Idaho. They put fiber optic from Malta Idaho a town of 150 or so, to Burley, and all over Mini Cassia Idaho. Granted its not 1 gig, but you get dependable horsepower over both of them. What I say to people at CenturyLink and others. Get out of your cubicles take a road trip, and see with your eyes what's going on here. Its easy to sit in Las Vegas Nevada or Denver Colorado, and say these areas are too small, but the wise say invest while costs are low, and you'll reap big from what thereupon sow. 
Now let's turn to Television.
Cable is great if your in town or near town where you can get it. But our rural counterparts on the farm that like good TV are dependent on such services as DirecTV as well as Dish Network. Dish Network launched a few months ago a over the top service called SlingTV. Trouble is that's dependent on bandwidth of the Internet, which is super slow and SlingTV don't work too good. You need cable to get it, so if you sign up for Internet through a cable TV provider, why not just get cable? Dish has shot themselves in the foot here. Dish is having a penius waving contest with KSLTV and threatens to pull KSL -5 from their usable channels. Bad move here for Dish. Many here are not keen on NBC, I haven't found anything on NBC to watch for at least the time of the screen writers strike of 2007. But I do watch KSL-5 news. Over top of that, KSL is owned by majority  by the LDS(Mormon) Church. Which broadcasts LDS Conference each October and April. With the mutimillion members of the Church being squeezed out of being able to watch Conference, by Dish Network for blocking KSL, watch how many subscribers of Dish look elsewhere. 
Time for a overhaul of mass media. If you think that the Don, is going to do it, think again. If the Don, was intelligent, as he proclaims. He'd privatize mass communications and flat get rid of or drastically reduce the authority of this thing called the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC. Let the National Association of Broadcasters or even an independent group police the airwaves. At least you'd get someone local who could decide if an area deserved another radio and or TV station over the air. Without just looking at some topic map, and saying this is too close to another station or area, of a media giant that really doesn't care, but yet doesn't want to loose territory. Last year and I have heard many gripe about Pirate or OutLaw stations. Thing is, many of these small 50 to 100 watt Pirate stations provide news and all to areas that wouldn't have any radio and or Tv if they didn't. In mid 2012 it was announced that a filing window for the FCC for Low Power FM stations would open in mid July of 2013. However the FCC was more in favor of Native American tribes and religious groups obtaining air space. Not that I have anything against our Native American brothers and sisters, nor religious groups, but how about those wanting to provide service to the highway to keep truckers informed as to weather and news as well as entertained. We here at HazzardAyre were lucky as we squeeked by the deadline and got our license, but what about others? The town of Bliss Idaho, population 280 people. As far as TV there was once albeit snowy, but an analog translator TV station on Bell Rapids peak. Cable One is to cheap to run a extra wire into town yet the main line for Cable One from Hazzard to Gooding runs just outside of Bliss. Leaving Bliss without a local station. Hello, did the giants miss this? If you like your Internet, like your TV and love your radio, the time is now to bark at the big Don, to fix the FCC or get rid of it, more over call reps of your local telecom, beit, CenturyLink, PacificBell, whom ever and say I want better than your giving. Tell Satellite providers, quit fussing over programming costs and focus on the product and service, then the programming costs will be covered by increased subscriptions for service. Even invite the ones making the decisions on this to lunch. There's one rep I know who resides in Las Vegas. I have repeatably invited her to come up here to Evanston so she could look at what's here as far as population, residential complexes and such. In hopes of getting better services. I even through the Knytes was willing to pick up the tab room and transportation for her to visit. Answer? "We'll see". Real reason? Not enough carrots for her to worry about. 
See you on the air later, I'm headed for a nap.

Can you legally not hire millenials part 2

Good morning ya'll. I'm feeling a bit better than I did yesterday morning and most of the day Monday. Most if not all my financial resources were drained by mid day Monday, but at least most of the bills are now paid welcome to living in the Yankee union. Fair exchange for a return of fair product is one thing, feeling like your getting the shaft or that no one really gives a shit is another . Which is what I have howled from my Wolf's Lair for all summer. And now the condition of that situation is right here in my apartment of the Wentworth of Evanston Wyoming. See I barked all summer that the water heater in my apartment needed replaced. Apparently that bark was being ignored, along with a bathroom bathtub fixture that needs to be replaced and this list goes on. Did finally get my new dishwasher, but the real thing is the Water heater supplies both hot water for shower, and all that, but also for the heater. Most of the time I rely on a little space heater over my refridgerator to keep warm, but as Wyoming's winter creeps up on us its going to get colder. More need of heat. But hey viewers that's not all, management wants to raise rent rates. Yep, the mere 3% increase in SSI payments for SSI beneficiaries will amount to nothing since that's just about what the rent rates will go up here at the Wentworth, which is partly why I have been rather lax in recertification for living here as I really don't see me being here after February 2017. Things don't get fixed, prices go up, I ask myself over and over, Why am I here?
So I ask again the question I asked at the start of September, If you find that the maturity level of a new hire is not that of a slightly older person, no matter the Gender, can you legally say I'm not hiring you because your too young. While its a fact you under DOE regs say no, still even if they might have the right tech skills, they might not have the long toothed gray haired longevity attitude to be a team player with knowledge of subject matter needed to work for say a radio network that has its roots in deep of a TV show that was made years before they were born, or were not even aware of. 
Here's two examples; Tomi Lahren of BlazeTV. Great looks and an aggressive attitude, delivers content, and has a mind of her own, and deep down is greatful that Hilary Clinton will be President, since that assures her of a long career of digging up dirt on Hilary. However of all her attributes , Tomi does not have the interviewing skills, in fact few have the interviewing skills of Howard Stern, who was at one time the most despised radio personalities in America. 
I want to see, if she lasts that long, what kind of NEWS person Tomi is when she hits 50 or so when her behind gets bigger, her mousey voice gets deeper due to age, her blonde curls gets gray, then lets see Tomi.
Then of course there was our latest disaster new hire. Tinkerbelle had some good tech skills but not personality nor comedy skills that was more in line with the one of HazzardAyre Radio. She could fix a computer like nobody's business, yet as much as I tried could not meet the level of off the wall bits like the toew smooch, like Nurse GoodBody or Emme, Or Robin could. Neither of those could fix a computer , but could do a twosome in the studio. The reason TinkerBelle and others her age, can't do satisfactory level LIVE radio, is because they don't remember nor can absorb old fashioned LIVE radio. Old skool radio was comedy, introducing and coming out of music, relating political views, reading news copy, and so on. Today's radio people are to absorbed in pushing buttons and playing music with little of injecting themselves into the music mix, or pausing the music and just talking. Sure there is talk radio, and music radio. There's news radio, and like even automotive oriented firms, everything has went into specialization , but what about the wrench who can fix everything, the Doctor who can treat anything, and yes radio people that can do it all from one end to the other? The millenials can't do that, us older more aged can. So can you send someone down the road because they are not mature enough? 
Getting ready for Zeb at the Ranch and then I'll be in after noon today on HazzardAyre/IronKnyte Radio.

Some days you get the bear, most days the bear gets you. Fair and Balanced my butt

Some days you get the bear, some days in fact most days the bear get's you. In my tiny world it usually goes to three things, Computers since I HAVE to use em for the radio thing, the Google apps and all in fact completely freezing on me is becoming a usual rather than occassional situation. If it's not my Google Desktop, its running or as is the case lately not running Google Chrome as my prime browser. Mostly using IE instead. Seems things hold a bit longer. That said, much of what used to run easily doesn't since Google divorced Adobe which means streaming well over Google is a bit of a challenge. Glad I have a geek in the radio op now. 
The next situation that kills me, is rides. It don't matter if its LexiBelle, Lil Wolf or the General, these ultra freezing temps, and all kills vehicles. All the year of 2013 and prior, sure I had the oil leak, plus the battery situation, the oil leak was supposed to have gotten repaired by an asswipe in Heyburn Idaho prior to me getting a shop. Of course same was true here in Evanston. Got charged damn near $500.00 but found not one bolt had been turned on the truck. Still looking into legal action there. LexiBelle, is able just need to find the power drain on the battery and finish the rest of the rewire. Then she's up for service, after new tires. Which is overall why I rent a damn shop. It's not so much to make a buck, its just to service my rides, since few if anyone here is willing or able to work on someone with a military pension plus Social Security. 
The last relates. I reviewed a bunch of things in my files on my laptop relating to life in and near Twin Falls and overall Idaho. Much of the problems there were because of a foundation trustee that was aging rapidly due to type1 diabetes along with other maladies. Then came the melt down of the radio gig in Gooding, due to my cousin as well as a Post Office that somehow lost me right in Gooding Idaho. Same carrier and everything but somewhere between 8th street and my then studio being a mere 8 blocks away, still lost it. How the shit does that happen? Rent payments were due finally old man Strickland booted us out rather sneaky, and confiscated a whole bunch of equipment, music, and so on. Thankfully Erin stuck with me through that ride as well as now. But money has always been a problem. We make tons of the green stuff , but the $600,000.00 investment my cousin Bud made into some annuity, that went nipples up, and all then my pension and SSI being handled by Bud, still it wasn't until I got to Ogden Utah and got a honey there that was a legal shrink to sign the paper saying I was able to handle my own affairs. Had Bud and some quack in Idaho done that a heap of a lot of things would have been different, club money would have flowed better as well. After that it was Utah and yes I'll admit I'm no good at money management which is why I have TinkerBelle here to help with that as well. When it comes to HazzardAyre and all she is the CFO, or Chief Financial Officer for that. I'm stepping back from doing the money handling. I ain't no good at it. 
On the radio thing, good news, got word from the legal Eagles of the organization this morning AM 1240 Evanston Wyoming is ours. Facility number 200208 is ours. Likewise our FM at 105.7 has been approved by the FCC, Both on higher power than currently, just need now to find a studio for it and get new gear, including new computers yes at least 5, to handle what we need, plus new digital gear for the studio. All of that is in the hands of TinkerBelle.
Now then, according to SheWolf, her funds somehow got put on another card or something which plugged up the cash flow. So says SheWolf , money should be recovered by Monday. 
Okay then; the election. Plus politics all around. I was listening in on YouTube on Zeb Bell's show. Zeb is a pretty good feller and very knowledgeable on most things. He acts subdued and meek and mild, but even though he's a cowboy at heart, Zeb is a straight shooter. So he was chatting up on Hilary and her ilk, plus the things that Trump has done, much of which makes my exploits very pale to, if it comes down to it, I'll vote Johnson, until such time a confederate gets put up for a run at the White House,. With that said, Zeb was barking on this BLM or Black Lives Matter junk, and how some school in Oregon is going to have teachers wearing BLM T shirts to classes there. One lady called in and was chatting about what if they wore a American flag T shirt with Americans Matter on it. That's fine and good, but how about us putting up some shirts and give attention to our flag The Flag of Dixie? 
 on a T shirt or openly displayed it, and said this too is not only Southern heritage and history, but American history? Fair and balanced my butt.

Like Liv Maddie says it, " Bam What?" 
 See ya'll tonight maybe on air if the computer don't collapse.

The Truth is out there if you want to find it

The truth is out there if you want to scratch, dig , and claw your way to it. Our entire nation is going through I think, a soul searching. If you talk to the children and even mid century culture of today, few if any of them have a real grip on the need of voting and the fact that two people that should not be in the running for President of this nation are. Sure the concept by many that Donald Trump is the champion of the nations salvation. When he too is about as corrupt as can be. Even some of our southern brethren, are bowing to the Republican party to elect this actor being elected mostly to just fill or play the part of our commander in chief . Our ancestors were mostly Democrat, after just a few years of the war of Northern invasion. Hilary Clinton whom one would think would be one we could trust since her husband was the Governor of Arkansas and all, but that ends at the Brooklin Bridge. She can't be trusted either. The debates both Presidential and Vice Presidential were mokeries of what they should be. Nobody talks issues. But in all honest we have only ourselves to blame. We gave the boot to all the contenders that could have made a difference, From Carson, to Bush. When the 10th of November comes and we all hang our heads wondering how the joker got in the oval office, will we as the Confederate nation, then contribute financially and effort wise to get someone to go to bat and belly up to the bar to run as a Presidential candidate in 2020? 
Been off air, last two days, had a touch of the flu, Shelly's money never got here cause someone hacked her account, and while CL is here, she hasn't been on cyber air yet. That will come Monday or so. Plus last night, had a perfect show all chalked up, but the computer had a shit head attack, so at 02:30 hours, I said piss on it and went to bed.

Due to problems of a computer problem, all things HazzardAyre Radio will be off line until the first week of October

It was obviously unexpected and caught me fully unaware but the big bad cyber crook took me by the pubic hairs. For some odd unknown reason all my Google Chrome apps from Blogger to some things YouTube has been going through hell. First started when I noticed my url address bar had narrowed to a just barely noticeable . Postings were not going direct to phone or email as usual and that's the short story. While I'll attempt a on air and online show Monday morning tomorrow still the amount of air time is going to be limited. Codi will be here on the 30th to attempt to rectify the maladies involving Chrome, on our main brain, still until then , I'm going to the shop more than being on air.
We regret this problem beyond our control but its the modern techno world we live in.
