Sangean RCR-5 Clock Radio

I have to say, I have fallen in love with this thing. During the summer I was working a contract in the city of Chicago. The corporate housing unit I was in was just a few short blocks from WBEZ.

You may have told the world you were a corn and soybean farmer, but you still had a few head of cattle, sheep, and/or hogs in a barn. When the kids got big enough they … The Robins Keep Us as Pets NowRead more
