I extend my condolences to the victims of the earthquake in Iran that had occurred shortly before the time of writing this post in November, 2017.

I am so disgusted at the cumulative and undue nature at the commercial airline industry that I wish that the nature of air transportation would forevermore remain the same as it was during the 1970’s, 1980’s; and the early 1990’s; and in some cases-earlier than the 1970’s.

It even surprises me that Delta Air Lines would allow children in need to ride in the cockpit with the pilot, co-pilot; and flight technician, and also allow children to tour the airplane hangar at Idlewild/John F. Kennedy International Airport given the nature of any potential terrorist threats in the 21st Century, and the infinite amount of security measures that must be taken at all times at commercial airports the world over and on commercial airlines operating at all times in this day in age; or, in other words-nothing being left to chance in terms of airport and commercial airliner security.

Though I don’t have an interest in boats, it amazes me that Chrysler would market the marinized version of the A 318 cubic inch V8 (not to be confused with the better-known LA 318 V8 that would supplant the A 318 cubic inch V8 and would remain in production up until 2002) as the “Sea V” engine.

It also amazes me that Chrysler would take the V8 engines in their Chrysler-branded Passenger Cars such as the Imperial-V and the Royal-V.

The Imperial-V was a marinized version of the 354 cubic inch FirePower/Hemi V8 engine, and the Royal-V was a marinized version of the 270 cubic inch Hemi V8.

Chrysler’s Marine and Industrial Engine division, during the late 1950’s; had also produced the Crown and Ace inline-6 engines-both of which were derived from the inline-6 engine that had powered the WDX Dodge Power Wagon.

This episode of the television program Forensic Files is about a female victim who has been stabbed more than 30 times and the crime scene had been awash with blood. An owner of a button to a shirt found at the crime scene leads investigators to the killer.

FCC Data Cards on WJBK-AM/WDEE-AM describing when Storer Broadcasting (then known as the Fort Minor Broadcasting Company) had acquired WJBK-AM from a conglomerate consisting of Richard and Henrietta Connell and James F. Hopkins in 1946, the application to move the transmitter site and the tower from the site on Woodrow Wilson Avenue in Detroit city proper to a site on Woodruff Road in Brownstown Township, Michigan in 1947, the station relocating it’s transmitter and tower again two years later in 1949 to the site where a decade later-would erect its 12-tower array in Lincoln Park, Michigan, located off of U.S Route 25/Dix Highway between New York and Riverbank Avenues; and in 1959 came a permit to install and put to use a Gates BC 1-T one kilowatt transmitter mainly for nighttime use and also to serve as an auxiliary transmitter. Then in 1961 came a permit by the FCC for George B. Storer to relinquish 263,000 shares of common stock to the general public in order to become a publically traded company, and would gain the ticker symbol “SBK” (which would later become the inspiration for the callsign of the television station in Boston the Storer family would purchase later in the 1960’s); in 1959 and 1960 would come applications filed by Storer Broadcasting that would eventually be granted on April 24, 1963; the application to allow the FCC for this AM/Mediumwave station to move out of the studios within Detroit city proper and into the studio that Storer had built at 16550 West Nine Mile Road in the Detroit suburb of Southfield, Michigan for this AM station and Channel 2 WJBK-TV to both move into; the sale of this AM/Mediumwave station by Storer to the Harlem Globetrotters’ Globe Broadcasting Corporation in 1976 as Storer was divesting itself of all of its radio properties at this time while retaining its terrestrial television stations and building its cable television infrastructure; the permit for this AM station to move out of Storer’s building at 16550 West Nine Mile Road and into a studio within an office building located at 21700 Northwestern Highway; the sale of this AM station to Combined Communications-where it would be aligned with 95.5 WLDM-FM, both this AM station and the FM station would become WCZY-AM-FM; Gannett would purchase Combined Communications and this AM and FM station and would install Dick Purtan to help ravage the Adult Contemporary format and mend the station’s new Top 40 format; and Ganett selling this AM station to former Gannett president Joe Dorton in 1986, Dorton selling this AM station to Satellite Radio Network a year later in 1987; and Jon Yinger’s Midwest Broadcasting Corporation purchasing this AM station in 1993.

Jon Yinger is a former Gannett GSM and General Manager of the Satellite Radio Network.

After Storer had acquired the station, in 1949; they had relocated the studio from 6559 Hamilton Avenue in Detroit city proper to the Masonic Temple in Detroit city proper. In 1956, WJBK-AM-FM-TV had moved out of their studios within the Masonic Temple and over to a building that Storer had built in Detroit’s New Center area that would later be occupied by WTVS-TV after Storer had moved the WJBK stations to the building on West Nine Mile Road in Southfield, Michigan in 1970. And so in 1970, Storer had moved the WJBK stations to the building on West Nine Mile Road, and like the WJW-AM-TV/WJKW-TV studios on South Marginal Road in Cleveland, Ohio and the WAGA-TV studio in the Atlanta area; Storer had hired an architect to design the WJBK studios in the Plantation style architecture.

I am very noneventful about the perpetrator of the Halloween Day, 2017 New York City Terrorist Attacks; by the name of Sayfullo Habibullahevic Saipov being from Uzbekistan causing bad publicity for the Uzbek people the world over.

If you’ve been following this blog for a long time, you’re already aware of my fascination with the Soviet Central Asian nations (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan; and Turkmenistan) and the Russian/Soviet rule of them.

It personally breaks my heart that an Uzbek national would instigate the Halloween Day, 2017 New York City Terrorist Attacks.

Still more evidence that NHL player Shane Doan needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight:

Still, Shane Doan needs to comprehend that School Buses, Full-Size Station Wagons, the world of amateur/ham radio; and the engineering side of commercial radio and television are all more important than the world of sports and fitness.
