What if it Snows?

Not sure but I believe those are the old railroad telegraph lines, only live when the WU op is siting and tap- tap- taping away at a buck a word...Voltage low not sure how high. The old hands stuck a Prince Albert Tobacco can behind the clicker/sounder.

Sounders in "Resonators" and The "Prince Albert Tobacco Can"

Busy Telegraph Offices and Railroad Stations were very noisy and a wooden "solid state" amplifier box was invented to make the clicks from sounders louder and easier to hear. This tringular or rounded wooden "amplifier" was called a "Resonator". It was mounted on a black metal pedestal or an articulated swinging arm that could be brought near the operators ear. To allow a telegrapher to be able to distinguish his/her sounder´s clicks from other nearby sounders, a Prince Albert Tobacco Can was tucked between the sounder and the wooden box. Opening or closing the lid of the tobacco can changed the tone of the sounder and made it´s sound distinct from the other nearby sounders.

 

I'm with you on that, I have exactly 1 credit card and that is for emergency use only, I hate being in debt. Been there, done that and I don't want to repeat it. Although at times it can be a necessary evil.

 

wtf is wrong. I don’t know if I can smoke any more cigs and drink more coffee.

 

Not gonna lie it’s funny. But not

 

Caught up. Warmed up a bit today. Stuff on road is slushy. 35 tomorrow then back to deep freeze.
The Blue Light therapy I did the other day was a dud. Didn’t do nuffin.

 

Better look who ordered it can afford it. Must be nice

 

Martinis during the canapés, then a nice Pinot Grigio for dinner. A delightful port with dessert.
Probably should be enjoining a nice brandy right now, but I don’t have the proper cigar for that.
Life is so rough.

 

Not arguing with that logic

 

It snowed in Maine, must be that means its"Prime Time"!
