OrangeTV: Before HBO we sort of went around in an uninformed haze and I can’t
imagine what we did without it. Us HBO’ers get to feel like the cool
kids, the know-it-alls, like we have an edge over everyone else when
there’s breaking news and I’ve come to really love that. Even my mom, who is totally not internet savvy, asks me all the time
what the latest news is on HBO and I fill her in with all the goss
because you can’t get most of it anywhere else. Cheers to HBO!
DFO: I’m not printing this to blow my own horn (although I appreciate OTV’s comments). His comment re: his mother is the part that especially caught my eye. Do me a favor. If you like the Scanner Traffic and breaking news you get here, please tell your friends, family, and co-workers about this site. Huckleberries is clicking on all cylinders again. But there’s always room for another Merry Huckster or two at this Web site.

Sometimes the scanner traffic is entertaining, especially if it concerns ladders, goats or other wayward livestock. Got to get my scanner repaired and cleaned. It used to be fun when we lived off Pennsylvania to listen to the Friday/Saturday nite happenings. Keep scanner traffic as a regular feature.

well, thanks to HBO, I was able refer my hubby away from Red Lobster last week!!!
The story about the bug infested salad broke at the very moment he was making dinner plans with a friend and RL was being discussed as a possibility.
Thanks to my up to the minute news access, I was able to inform him that he might just want to eat somewhere else.
