So we got the Sony SW22 through mail order, we wish that the furniture store had more of them, but it's a really cool radio.  Heir really likes how the tuning knob slides a lot better than on the Kaito 009.  It's a vertical slide rule display, and if anything goes wrong with the Sony in the near future, there are two or three other radios we got our eye on as insurance policies.  Eventually we'll also get a scanner.

Heir's really tired of all these premature obituaries about the beach, just because of the neighboring beach.  It's like, get a grip, people!  Heir's pretty sure he's the only one on the beach who believes the beach will go on for at least 20 more years, maybe as many as 50, because of the concept of continuity.  In the Bachelor episode The Happy Bachelor Doesn't Believe The World Will End This Year, we talk about how we believe in continuity as opposed to discontinuity.  Discontinuity is especially buttressed (boot-dressed) by that whole Live For Today mentality, which if science had it's proper grants, would be able to disprove substantively.  We should tear it apart ourselves, maybe in an upcoming episode.  But the main thrust is that absolutely everyone is supposed to bucket-list on a whim, and try to do absolutely everything they wanted to do all multitaskingly, otherwise they will supposedly end up with regrets.  Luscious Fishborne does that every single day, though, which is why he goes 50 in a 25 zone in his Infiniti SUV.  But here's the thing.  No-one ever considers just limiting on the count of one hand those things they'd want to do the most for a given day, within realistic time restraints.  Sure that's not bucket-listing, it's budget-listing.  So the Heir hopes that all that End Of The Beach business will go away next year for the most part, when no-one's thinking about the neighboring beach anymore, and the novelty has worn off.  No-one ever plans properly.  They just act on impulse, trying to tell themselves that tomorrow will never come, and end up wondering why tomorrow arrived after all.  Yes, Virginia, there is a future.
