Wed. 7/22/09 9:14am From: Cecile

Happy and safe moving!

Wed. 7/22/09 9:15am From: Ken

Sorry to report that I am only here until 11:15am today! And Seven Sec Delay tonight will be a re-run tonight. Must leave at 1130am for a secret mission.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:16am From: Joe Steele

Will it be 45 minutes of dead air then?

Wed. 7/22/09 9:16am From: Dan B

Ooh! Secret Mission... Sounds so... secretive!

Wed. 7/22/09 9:16am From: anne

Wed. 7/22/09 9:17am From: -max-

Wed. 7/22/09 9:17am From: Parq

@Joe: No, better. It'll be "Green Grass and High Tides" looped for 45 minutes.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:19am From: Cecile

@Dan B

Wed. 7/22/09 9:19am From: jan

I know what kind of radio the babe has got- It's a Grundig- it'll get short wave, Europe and stuff. Where's here record changer?

Wed. 7/22/09 9:20am From: Ken

Yes, lots of Vulture sightings! So far this summer: Bears: 3, Fox: 1, Bald Eagle: 1, (Real) Beaver: 1, Deer: countless. Turkeys: countless Blue Heron: 3, Vultures: countless.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:21am From: annie

and i,as well, will be leaving early. ken and i are on a secret rendezvous mission.. he will go to a meeting and i will go to walton.. we might be as ships passing...

Wed. 7/22/09 9:23am From: Joe Steele

Spotted a turkey in Nutley last week.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:24am From: anne

amazing! here, tokyo, very few wildlife as you can imagine. not even squirrels. not even rats! and i've been looking intently. lotsa mushrooms, cicadas, big butterflies. in taiwan i'm looking forward to geckos galore. ok, off to pick up laundry.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:24am From: Parq

I work for the government. I see vultures all the time.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:25am From: annie

i got a glimpse of our local coyote last week.....

Wed. 7/22/09 9:25am From: sugarwolf

Deer spotting shouldn't count, that's like spotting a tree.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:25am From: jan

I dunno. you are all on a different frequency, talking about flying birds and all of Ken's posted photos are about chicky birds. I'm beginning to see that if you have long playing records, that will attract the birds.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:26am From: Bad Ronald

We got rabid raccoons here in NYC.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:27am From: Dan B

I've seen a couple of turkeys so far this summer, but I live upstate. It's essentially the same thing as spotting a car in the city. I've also heard warning of a fox near my apartment, but I have yet to see this graceful, yet likely rabid creature.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:27am From: Listener zero

A 7SD rerun? Hopefully a good one. I vote for one of the pre-9/11 marathon shows.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:27am From: JCityJensen

morning all - got the peopppples - so gonna listen to the archive......

DEERS COUNT

Wed. 7/22/09 9:28am From: Ken

Agreed JCity, when a deer runs in front of your car and almost kills you, it freaking well COUNTS

Wed. 7/22/09 9:29am From: jan

Should be a lotta crows flying round Tokyo. That's one of my strongest memories from spending a month there- crows perched on the electric lines, their caws sounding like groaning old men.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:29am From: annie

dan- i live in delaware county. as a friend was driving me home one night, we came upon a fox in the road, stalking some creature on the asphalt. we stopped.. he ran, but boy was he gorgeous!!

Wed. 7/22/09 9:30am From: dei x

Ahhg, stoopid job that
(a) allows me to listen to FMU with my office door closed
(b) download the podcasts
(c) force me to acknowledge co-workers during KEN's SHOW!

Wed. 7/22/09 9:30am From: Parq

True, I see deer every time I go up into the mountains. But also true, I never get tired of seeing them.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:30am From: jeremy the listener

i ate a bagel once, down in arkansas

Wed. 7/22/09 9:31am From: Parq

I rejoice to say, I've never encountered a deer in the road.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:31am From: Joe Steele

A couple months back, a turkey attacked me on a hike.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:33am From: fred

Hi Ken,
Remember that Groupe Doueh gig Brian broadcasted from Instants Chavirés near Paris? Well that venue just got a big funding cut and are in serious trouble. They had to cancel all shows until the end of the year and they're asking for a show of support through online signatures over here: http://instants.mollo.fr/
There's another station connection in that Andy Moor told me he planned to play there with DJ/Rupture later this year, but now that show is one of the casualties.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:33am From: Trapper

A young pigeon (with green baby-rings round the eyes) likes to sit on my fire escape in the mornings. He looks at me through the blinds.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:34am From: Joe Steele

Incidentally, I brought a turkey sandwich with me today.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:36am From: Joe Steele

Why couldn't they ask you on a day when your not on the radio?

Wed. 7/22/09 9:37am From: dei x

I've seen 2 median turkeys (1 shall gobble no more), 3/4 inch yellow beetle (dead), lots of ex-skunks, possum, foxes, 3 live hawks. And here you thought NH was rural and naturey.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:37am From: Laurie

I could actually send you some vinyl fetishism pictures.

Sweet and tasty revenge there, Joe S.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:38am From: triish

moose is the really dangerous animal to meet on the road while driving toward them- the stilt-like legs, the massive body..

Wed. 7/22/09 9:39am From: Laurie

Never mind, I just looked at my collection. They're so NSFW.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:40am From: annie

i'm sure it's all relative, but i kept wishing to see moose when i was up in maine. none jumped out in front of me, neither were they sauntering slowly.. ..

Wed. 7/22/09 9:41am From: Dan B

@annie
Great story. I've never seen a fox up close. One day, maybe.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:42am From: Bad Ronald

Monkberry Moon Delight!

Wed. 7/22/09 9:42am From: Ken

Hey Fred - email me info about the club's difficulties! Thanks

Wed. 7/22/09 9:42am From: Eric from WI

Hit a hawk on the highway last week - cracked my damn windshield. I don't know what it was doing, must have been suicidal.

R.I.P. DOGMO

Wed. 7/22/09 9:45am From: Mark

Somehow I'd rather hear the original of this

Wed. 7/22/09 9:46am From: doug from dc

The animal population in Fairfax is out of control, since they've learned to live among humans. I see deer, raccoons, groundhogs, possums, foxes and even a coyote once. I had two red foxes run right in front of me while I was standing on a wooden bridge one night in a park across the street from my house.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:46am From: Dan B

Wow... I'm really looking forward to Tom's Premium...

Wed. 7/22/09 9:48am From: annie

doug, hawks, too. are pretty adaptable..

Wed. 7/22/09 9:49am From: dei x

Oh no! Poor Dogmo, poor Tom.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:50am From: PMD

morning all, including Ken. will miss most of your show, alas. can't even catch up with the comments. hopefully your secret mission Ken isn't a suicide mission. Likely someone has already said that.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:50am From: triish

Hawk swooping in for a small bite to eat maybe? A meadow vole or some other small scoop-able mammal

Wed. 7/22/09 9:51am From: jan

It's a Fiat Spyder c 70's. Are you going to show what happens in the next scene?

Wed. 7/22/09 9:52am From: randy in NC

Is that Tim Allen jumping into the car?

Wed. 7/22/09 9:53am From: Bad Ronald

Looks like Tim Allen hopping out of the Fiat.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:53am From: Tim Allen

Ahhhuuuh?

Wed. 7/22/09 9:54am From: JCityJensen

maybe next time ken for the fire!

IT YAS

Wed. 7/22/09 9:57am From: Cecile

I hate procuremnt of any kind. that is all.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:57am From: doug from dc

I think I heard him say Satan and 666 this time.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:57am From: Mike

Enough of this!

Wed. 7/22/09 9:58am From: paul

there's no escapin it

master satan

Wed. 7/22/09 9:58am From: pau

the math question for the last post i did was 663+9. SO CLOSE!

Wed. 7/22/09 9:59am From: doug from dc

No, more. More Satan.

Wed. 7/22/09 9:59am From: paul

663+6, rather

Wed. 7/22/09 10:00am From: doug from dc

669, the number of the sexy beast.

Wed. 7/22/09 10:02am From: BSI

Waiter!
More Satan, please.

Wed. 7/22/09 10:03am From: Eric from WI

I don't think he was complaining about the record, I think Robert Plant's satanic beckoning just led him to off himself.

Wed. 7/22/09 10:04am From: Parq

Just catching the Led S pic before I head out. That was my favorite moment in the H&M finale too.

Wed. 7/22/09 10:06am From: Mike

My hangover is better already

Wed. 7/22/09 10:10am From: Laurie

Awwww. Kitty!

Hey, he sounds like a girl.

Wed. 7/22/09 10:19am From: Mike

Hangover getting worse. isn't there a live version of this?

Wed. 7/22/09 10:22am From: Ken

Mike. You're requesting LIVE CSN&Y?! Get a a grip on yourself, man.

Wed. 7/22/09 10:25am From: Mike

I'm in an alternate hangover reality. Digging this Japanese stuff.

I'm gonna have to catch Irwin on archive. I have to be in an all-afternoon meeting today. Damn.

Wed. 7/22/09 10:35am From: Ghengis Jung

KEN! YOU ARE ON THE RADIO!

Wed. 7/22/09 10:37am From: Irwin

Lizardner, Amanda requires you to call in sick between 3-6pm. The Power Child commandeth.

Wed. 7/22/09 10:43am From: GP

Ken..gold lamé...it is you..just sayin.
Good morning world.

Wed. 7/22/09 10:45am From: Lizardner Dave

I'm already at work so calling in sick might look suspicious. I'll listen to the archive tomorrow and pretend that it's live. Maybe I'll even comment.

Could you play some Billy Nayer Show?

Wed. 7/22/09 10:51am From: Shoulder Devil

LD -- You could collide with a deer while you're out at lunch and be too shaken to finish the work day. Accidents happen...don't they?

Wed. 7/22/09 10:52am From: Carmichael

Good morning Ken and everyone. This must be the one millionth post of the show.

Cecile, you talking smack about procurement??? That's what I do for this fine County.

Wed. 7/22/09 10:54am From: Laurie

I have some pictures of a naked lady with some My Bloody Valentine records.

Nice Show!

Wed. 7/22/09 10:55am From: GP

Carmichael, procure me some bailout funds would ya please? I have just declared myself a bank, so we should be good to go.

Wed. 7/22/09 10:55am From: Cecile

I'll bet your one of the good guys, though. I don't want to get into gory details, but trying to buy or pay for anything at my work is like trying to play one of those crazy Japanese game show obstacle courses being blind folded.

GP, Carm is not a granting authority or agency...

Wed. 7/22/09 10:56am From: Cecile

Wed. 7/22/09 11:10am From: Ken

Wild Turkey Taunts Tenafly (CBS)
A wild turkey landed in Tenafly, and although he has ruffled feathers, some residents said their neighborhood is for the birds.
"It's crazy. He's a crazy animal. I don't understand it. He's just crazy," said Bill Slaughter, one of several delivery men who had to fight off the new resident who struts along Hillside Ave. and other streets along their route.
Neighbor Rick Martinez snapped photos as the turkey pecked at a postal truck's tires and trapped one mailman inside.
"He does not bother pedestrians. He does not bother any of us or cars driving by, for some reason. Only delivery people. I think they must have lost his package," Martinez said.
Though never in a hurry for waiting traffic, Tenafly resident Gary Zamchick said the territorial turkey tailed him one afternoon as he tried to post a yard sale sign.
"He would not let up. It looked like Road Runner. His feet were up in the air and he was doing the whole running thing," Zamchick said.
"They eat all my blueberries, my raspberries and anything they can find. And they have very big, you know, droppings," said resident Alyssa Bennett.
But despite the turkey troubles, most residents love the bird. Eileen Pepper tracked him down for a photo op, and has even written a book about her new feathered friend.
"My granddaughter calls it 'Shoelaces' so we have a story about 'Shoelaces the Turkey' that held up traffic," Pepper said. "It's actually kinda cool to see something wild, you know, in your neighborhood."
"It's been really fun having him on the block, we all talk about him," said Zamchick.
And it appears this neighborhood will be talking turkey for quite awhile.
