Brothers And Basketball Players Who Need To Be Transformed From Being Fit And Muscular To Being Fat And Overweight, And Also Need To Comprehend How Much More Important Automobiles, Electric Fans, Amateur/Ham Radio, And Commercial Broadcast Radio And Television All Are Than Sports And Fitness; Including Basketball.
Instead of these brothers having long hair, or shaving their heads with a razor and shaving cream; these brothers should instead wear the same hairstyle as yours truly, the owner of this Blog; with bangs covering their foreheads:
The ABC News Program “Nightline”, A Television Program Created By Roone Arledge; Celebrating It’s 45th Anniversary As Of March, 2025.
Roone Arledge had created “Nightline” during a better time in the history of the American Broadcasting Company (ABC). When ABC had owned and operated WXYZ-TV, in addition to WABC-TV, WLS-TV, KABC-TV, and KGO-TV. Before Capital Cities Communications and the Walt Disney Company had acquired ABC. The tail end of when founder Leonard Goldenson had owned ABC, and when people such as Fred Pierce were members of the upper management.

When Jefferson-Pilot was still in business and had owned and operated WBT-AM, WBT-FM/WWSN-FM, WBTV-TV; in addition to their Stations in Atlanta and in Denver, and Jefferson-Pilot Sports (originally Jefferson Productions, a division of the company that produced Television Commercials for paying clients); and when WBT-FM/WWSN-FM had it’s literally pleasant Mainstream Adult Contemporary format, and had utilized the “Sunny” moniker.
Young, Radical, Athletic, Modernist, And Religious Males Who Need To Be Transformed From Being Fit And Muscular To Being Fat And Overweight.
These young, radical, athletic, modernist, and religious Males also need to comprehend just how much more important Automobiles, Buses, Tractors, Electric Fans, Amateur/Ham Radio, and Commercial Broadcast Radio and Television all are than Sports and Fitness.
I Am Saddened By The Recent Passing Of WXYZ-TV Employee, And The Host Of The Locally-Produced, In-House Program “The Michigan Sportsman”; Gerald “Jerry” Chiappetta.
A relative of mine, who once sold Real Estate; among whose clients were Jerry Chiappetta and his second wife Rita, who had listed their House in the Detroit area in Michigan for sale; and living full-time at their residence in Florida at that point forward, had once shown us a Desk in his possession that once belonged to an ABC Executive, had later wound up at the WXYZ Broadcast House at 20777 West Ten Mile Road in the Detroit suburb of Southfield, Michigan; and ultimately wound up in the possession of Jerry Chiappetta.
The Furniture Branch Of The Discount Department Store Chain, Value City; Founded By The Schottenstein Family; Running Stupid Commercials Insulting The Proper Styles Of Furniture From The 1980’s And The Early 1990’s, Starring Young, Radical People; And Also Includes A Cheesy Cover Of Cher’s 1989 Song (Single) “If I Could Turn Back Time”.
One has to ask the question: why would the Schottenstein family (of Lithuanian-Jewish ancestry); founders of the Value City Discount Department Store chain, and current operators of Schottenstein Stores; would commission the production of such a stupid Television Commercial, and pay Media Representative Agencies to broker this Television Commercial to Television Stations and Cable Channels throughout the United States.
I had a strange dream in my sleep the night prior to writing this very post, pertaining to the ABC Television Program “Growing Pains”; which ran from 1985-1992.
For one thing, this dream consisted of Shari Lewis (a personal friend of Alan Thicke, who played the father on this Television Sitcom); and her puppets and sidekicks: Lamb Chop, Hush Puppy, and Charlie Horse each making guest appearances on this Television Sitcom.
Another thing, the characters who are the sons (portrayed by Actors Kirk Cameron and Jeremy Miller), are playing the (icky, yucky) Sport of Basketball; and while sweaty and full of body odor after playing the (icky, yucky) Sport of Basketball, someone bathes them by washing them down with a Power Washer/Pressure Washer in a manner similar to a non-human Animal, an Automobile, a Medium-Duty or Heavy-Duty Truck, a Bus, an RV; or a piece of machinery such as a Tractor, a Bulldozer, or a Lawn Mower.
The only thing that matters the most is that as this Television Show was networked by ABC Television, it would have passed through the transmitters of ABC’s owned and operated Television Stations: WXYZ-TV in Detroit, WABC-TV in New York City, KABC-TV in Los Angeles, WLS-TV in Chicago, and KGO-TV in San Francisco.
It would have also passed through the transmitters of ABC Television affiliates such as WKBW-TV in Buffalo, New York; WSOC-TV in Charlotte, North Carolina after owner Cox Broadcasting had switched it from being an NBC Television affiliate to an ABC Television affiliate in 1978; and Cox’s flagship Television Station WSB-TV in Atlanta, Georgia after Cox had switched that Station from being an NBC Television affiliate to an ABC Television affiliate in 1980.
I, the owner of this very Blog; do not like, and can not tolerate one of the two Commercial Airports serving the vicinity of Los Angeles, California; Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) capitalizing on modern Airliner travel and young, radical patrons rather than focusing on it’s illustrious past.
The original portion of Los Angeles International Airport being built in 1928 in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Westchester, originally as Mines Field; on what are now the corners of Imperial Highway and Aviation Boulevard, construction on Hangar Number One consisting of Spanish Mission-style Architecture being completed a year later in 1929, was renamed Los Angeles Municipal Airport in June, 1930; the Airport Designation Code of this Airport being changed from ‘LA’ to ‘LAX’ in 1946 as a result of the skyrocketing increase in Air Travel following WWII, the “temporary” terminals that were constructed immediately following WWII and were put to use in December, 1946; being given it’s current name ‘Los Angeles International Airport’ in 1949, construction on this Airport’s first Jet Age Terminals being completed by 1961, the second-level roadway being added by 1983 in anticipation of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games that were held in Los Angeles, the construction of the Tom Bradley International Terminal (named for the onetime Mayor of the City of Los Angeles, Tom Bradley) being complete by June, 1984; and the Playa del Rey and Palisades del Rey subdivisions on the west of what would come to be the property of the ever-expanding Airport that had consisted of beautiful modest Homes and Mansions that were built in the 1920’s, and were leveled entirely by the way of the City of Los Angeles exercising eminent domain in the 1970’s, only for the City of Los Angeles; until they decide to build additional Airport Facilities and/or Roads on this land, for the foreseeable future, to utilize this land as a sanctuary for Butterflies; are all more important than Los Angeles International Airport keeping it’s eye on the future, appealing to young, radical patrons, featuring strange Stores such as Hudson Nonstop locations that include humanless operations, cashless, ‘Pay with Card’ operations that open gates to allow patrons to enter these stores; and sensors that monitor items the patron picks up, and simply walks out of the Store with (evoking the action of shoplifting), supposedly charging the patron’s Charge Card in the process-all courtesy of the Internet Retailer Amazon; and also featuring strange eateries such as the so-called “Built Custom Burger” instead of, say; additional McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, and Chick-Fil-A locations in additional Terminals throughout this Airport.
More information about the history of Los Angeles International Airport can be found in this Document compiled and transcribed jointly by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2001:
Wally Rodammer, several other employees of WXYZ-TV; and several other employees of ABC’s other owned and operated Television Stations: WABC-TV in New York City, WLS-TV in Chicago, and KGO-TV in San Francisco each flying into Los Angeles International Airport to help contribute to; and employees of KABC-TV in Los Angeles each contributing to the ABC Television Network’s (including ABC’s Sports and News Departments, both headed by Roone Arledge as of this time) telecast(s) of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games that were held in Los Angeles, and ABC giving their owned and operated Television Stations (including WXYZ-TV) equipment that was used in the Network’s Telecast of these Olympic Games, such as Reel-to-Reel Video Players and Editors, and In-Studio Cameras as a reward for their contributions to the Network’s Telecast of these Olympic Games; are also more important than Los Angeles International Airport capitalizing on modern Airliner travel and young, radical patrons.

Post-Newsweek Owned And Operated WPLG-TV In Miami (Nee WPST-TV And WLBW-TV) Ridding Itself Of It’s Longstanding ABC Television Affiliation, Becoming An Independent Television Station, and The NBC Television Turned FOX Affiliate In The Miami Market; WSVN-TV (Nee WCKT-TV) Picking Up The ABC Television Affiliation To Air On One Of It’s Digital Subchannels.
Recently, I had a dream in my sleep where I Transported Both Of The Two Children NASCAR Driver Dale Earnhardt Sr. Had With Brenda Lorraine Jackson, Dale Earnhardt Jr. And Kelley Earnhardt Miller On Several Smaller-Size, Lighter-Duty School Buses Built Atop The General Motors/Workhorse P-Chassis.
I, personally prefer heavier 36 and 48 Passenger Type C Conventional-style School Buses, and 48 Passenger Type D Front Engine Transit-style School Buses over lighter-duty Type B Buses built atop the General Motors/Workhorse P-Chassis; and Type A Cutaway School Buses built on the General Motors (Chevrolet/GMC) Full-Size Van and Ford Econoline Cutaway Chassis.
I found myself saying to Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his sister Kelly that I prefer the smaller-size heavier School Buses over the lighter School Buses that are built atop the General Motors P-Chassis and the Full-Size Van Cutaway Chassis.
The Smaller-Size, Lighter-Duty School Buses Built Atop The General Motors/Workhorse P-Chassis that I found myself transporting Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his sister Kelly on are a 1984 Blue Bird Mini Bird that is a 32 Passenger unit built atop the 137″ Wheelbase, powered by the GM/Detroit Diesel 6.2 liter Diesel and the TH-475 Automatic Transmission, that doesn’t have a Wheelchair Lift or any Wheelchair Stations; a 1989 Carpenter Carpenter Cadet that is also a 32 Passenger unit built atop the 137″ Wheelbase, is also powered by the GM/Detroit Diesel 6.2 liter Diesel and the TH-475 Automatic Transmission, and also doesn’t have a Wheelchair Lift or any Wheelchair Stations; a 1990 Thomas Mighty-Mite that is also a 32 Passenger unit built atop the 137″ Wheelbase, is also powered by the GM/Detroit Diesel 6.2 liter Diesel and the TH-475 Automatic Transmission, and also doesn’t have a Wheelchair Lift or any Wheelchair Stations; and a 1992 Blue Bird Mini Bird that is a 36 Passenger Unit built atop the 157″ Wheelbase, is also powered by the GM/Detroit Diesel 6.2 liter Diesel and the TH-475 Automatic Transmission (which, by this time, has been renamed by General Motors as the 3L80 HD; as General Motors had begun to rename their Hyrda-Matic Automatic Transmissions starting in the early 1990’s), has a seating capacity for 8 Ambulatory Passengers located in the far rear of the School Bus body, a front-mounted Wheelchair Lift, and 3 Wheelchair Stations.
The Fact That The Evil Donald Trump Has Just Signed An Executive Order (As Of The Time Of Writing This Post) To Gut The Voice Of America, And Plans To Sign A Similar Executive Order To Gut The Corporation For Public Broadcasting (CPB); The Parent Organization Of PBS And National Public Radio (NPR) Is More Than Despicable.
In fact, the term ‘despicable’ is an understatement with regards to the Evil Donald Trump signing this Executive Order.
