Heir has revised his audio set ideal once again.  This time its a combo of a Sony AM/FM pocket radio (the kind that drug stores sell), a midland weather radio with a search feature, and a scaled down mp3 player whose display is below the radio slide rule.  There's a silver one and a brown one.  And there's the horizontal variety, and the vertical.  The silver form looks just like the Sony, and the brown one looks like the early aughties kaito and sangean ones.  Heir sees the brown one with a yellow backgrounded slide rule and LCD for the mp3 portion.  Overall, Heir's musings serve two purposes.  First, he drives home the point that mp3 functioning is more appropriate on a radio than a mainstream smartphone, because you can get your information on the radio, before listening to the music via mp3, a fitting duology.  Second, it's a welcome daydream for the Heir in contrast to all the constant tragedies the past six months.  Sandy, Newtown and now Boston.  Heir thinks we need a break, and goodness knows we deserve one.
