Breaker, Breaker

When I was but a mere child, CB’s were all the rage.  I begged my parents for one that Christmas.  My parents couldn’t afford a “real” one so they bought me a cheaper version that also had an AM radio built in.  I was totally thrilled with it and I probably listened to the radio more than the CB.  I even got into the habit of putting the ear piece under my pillow in the morning and listening to the Wired Woodshed “Grab it, slam it and we’ll see you in the morning”.  I also imagined the Wired Woodshed was covered in chicken wire.  I’d even DJ by broadcasting my favorite songs over the CB and acting like a radio station from my tape recorder; that I had recorded from the radio.  The only thing missing was the Rubber Duck.  Other than that, what a time I had!
