12/Objects

Who knew my snazzy, high-end ham radio would be the source of so much guilt? I studied for and received two licenses, permitting me to talk all over the world. My son worked hard constructing elaborate antennas, envisioning me having fun joining local conversations. But I still haven't participated. So many local ham discussions involve radio equipment and putting down liberals.

    I don't know enough about radio equipment to stir that particular pot. But maybe it wouldn't matter after I casually mention that I became a Democrat last summer.
