Alan Dilworth - Thought #6 - Walkie Talkies

My name is Alan Dilworth, and this is thought number six.  This morning I am thinking about the joy of two way radios, or walkie talkies. My daughter asked for a pair so she can chat with one of her best friends who lives in a townhouse across from us. They have a date at 11am this morning to walkie talkie talk. This morning her friend shared her handle- Matilda. My daughter's handle is Madonna. After a short chat about airwave stranger danger, my daughter and I talked about some of the joys of two way radio life. I flashbacked to the late 70's, I was a little kid, and we were on a road trip to a wedding in North Carolina. My sister's boyfriend had a CB radio- he did some sideline truck driving. We spent hours listening to and talking with trucker drivers. I can't remember what my handle was on that trip, but today my handle would be Lockdown Busy Schedule Dad. Over.
