I still do the transmitter cuz Dave never saw a vacuum tube till he went to 
work for us about 11 years ago now.  And I don't mind cuz I can still 'walk 
on water' from time to time in their eyes.  Ya gotta impress the frogs just 
to keep whats left of ones sanity after 45 years in the business..

All I've got left are the main building door key at the studio and of course 
the transmitters door key.  And I do get a stipend for the transmitter 
maintenance that is partially a fairly expensive medical policy that fills in
