Since the late 1990’s, Tracey Curro has sported weird hairstyles:
If you ask yours truly, the owner of this very Blog; the best that Tracey Curro’s hair had ever looked was during the late 1980’s up until the mid 1990’s:
With the exception of this very strange hairstyle that she had as of 1988:

Tariffs Should Instead Be Imposed On Sports. Not Just Basketball, American Football, Baseball, And Ice Hockey; But Also Soccer/Association Football, Roller Hockey, Wrestling, The UFC, And The MMA), According To A Report By Once Owned And Operated By ABC And Now Owned And Operated By Scripps-Howard Television Station WXYZ-TV; Tariffs Apply To The Necessary Equipment For The Sports Of Ice And Roller Hockey.

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.

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.
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.
See these earlier posts: I Am Dreading The Recent Appointment By The Evil Donald Trump Of Propagandist Kari Lake As The Director Of The Voice Of America, and Voice Of America News Staffer, And Author Of The Book Titled “Behind the White House Curtain”, Steve Herman; Is A Ham Radio Operator, Whose Call Sign Is W7VOA.
More videos that depict the way that NASCAR should forevermore continue to be.
Long live my good friend Ken Squier.
See these other posts regarding my good friend Ken Squier: Ken Squier’s Family Having Sold His Radio Stations WDEV-AM-FM, WCVT-FM, And WLVB-FM; And Bill France Sr. Having Personally Selected Ken Squier To Found The Motor Racing Network (MRN), The Moment Of Writing This Post Marks A Year Since The Passing Of My Good Friend, CBS NASCAR Announcer Ken Squier, Photograph Of My Personal Friend Ken Squier From When He Was A Baby, And Later An Infant During The Years 1935-1936, Courtesy Of His Daughter Ashley Squier; Amateur Automobile Races Held At Ken Squier’s Racetrack Titled Thunder Road In The Late 1980’s And The Early 1990’s, and I Am Deeply Saddened By The Recent Passing (As Of The Time Of Writing This Post) Of My Personal Friend And CBS NASCAR Broadcaster Ken Squier.
I, The Owner Of This Very Blog; Personally Find It Despicable That The CBS Turned FOX Affiliate KDFW-TV (Nee KRLD-TV) Moving Out Of The Building That KRLD Radio Was Once Housed In, And Into A New, Ultramodern Building.
Shameful that KDFW-TV would want to move out of their historic building, and into a brand new (as of the time of writing this post) building that appeals to young, radical people.
I Am Saddened By The Passing Of Jefferson-Standard/Jefferson-Pilot Communications Employee And The Owner Of The Website BTMemories.com Reno Bailey.
Following up from my prior post about the Australian Children’s Entertainment Musical Band “The Wiggles”: A Diverse And Eclectic Ensemble of Music Artists For Children, Hailing From The Land Down Under, Recognized as “The Wiggles”, the member of “The Wiggles”, a male who is a modernist, and is of mixed British and Filipino descent; by the name of John Len Ruela Adamo Pearce, not only needs to have his tattoos removed, and be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight, but John Pearce also needs to comprehend how much more important Automobiles, Tractors, Electric Fans, Amateur/Ham Radio, and Commercial Broadcast Radio and Television all are than Sports and Fitness.
Hopefully, John Pearce does not cross paths with an American Comedian of Filipino descent, whose professional name is Jo Koy; an American Model of Filipino descent, whose name is John Spainhour; and another American of Filipino descent who was one of the children that had served as one of the Cast Members of the American Children’s Television Show that was networked in the United States on the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) titled “Barney, the Dinosaur”; Pia Hamilton.
See these earlier posts regarding the Comedian whose professional name is Jo Koy, and the American Children’s Television Show “Barney, The Dinosaur”: Nightmare That I’ve Had Pertaining To Comedian Joseph “Jo Koy” Glenn Herbert And Modern NASCAR Driver Kevin Harvick, and the Children’s Television Show And It’s Main Character Barney.
John Pearce should also be forced to listen to Adult Contemporary, Jazz, and Easy Listening Music.
Thank goodness John Pearce no longer has long hair, and is no longer able to wear his long hair into one of those so-called “Man Buns”. John Pearce should have been given the nickname “Mr. Man Bun-O-Head” when he had long hair, and wore his long hair into one of those so-called “Man Buns”.
John Pearce’s Twin Brother also not only needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight, but John Pearce’s Twin Brother should be given the nickname “Mr. Man Bun-O-Head”, and should ultimately be barred from having long hair, and wearing his long hair into one of those so-called “Man Buns”.
