 "It's Friday...at BellRoad"

    Listen to this this week's message: CLICK HERE

At BellRoad Radio we are compressing the weekly messages at a 64 Kbps bitrate to make it easier for those who are forced to experience the Internet at last 20th Century speed. The heavily compressed signal results in an obvious loss of quality and it is a bit more noticeable in this particular mp3.

At certain points along the way, you may hear the  occasional drop of a syllable or a bit of a warble. It's just the price we're all paying to help those stuck with 20th Century technology.

Now, I understand better why Les Andrews prefers the Model A over the Model T. In his opinion, the Model A is much more practical for those who want to travel a ways down any given highway. Though the Model T is still a great ride, the Model A moves people much faster from Point A to Point B.

I've asked four blind fellows from around the world to 'see' if they can figure out a way to read my article and to post their comment. Let's keep checking back until one of them are able to get through!

Oh...and here's more about Les Andrews and his love for 20th Century Tech-nostalgia:  the Model A Times

I googled my cousin, Jim Cook, who restored and maintains our family's Model T (affectionately remembered by all as Old Henry). For some reason, google isn't finding Old Henry today but I did happen upon some interesting material.

It seems that Cousin Jim has been running with a gang of questionable characters: the Arts Community of the Library subculture of Tiffin, Ohio.

Really?! (see for yourself: click here)
