[AMRadio] "Real" AM'er

[David Knepper]

I always paint my crescent wrenches bright orange, yellow, and red so that 
when they get stuck in tree limbs - and they do -  they make excellent 
Christmas decorations.  I now have a tree in my front yard that is fully 
decorated from my feeble attempts to hang an antenna.  Folks driving by gawk 
at my Christmas tree and must say to themselves, that Knepper must be too 
cheap to buy real ornaments!  They are partially right but I will not tell 
them how those crescent wrenches came to hang up on thos boughs!
Ingeuous you would have to admit!
