Every four years...

The time is upon us again...election year. I know there are plenty of voting opportunities with local issues and candidates more often than the one we are approaching now but this one always carries so much more importance because we are not voting for a dog catcher, or a chief of local sanitation...we are voting for the next leader of the free world, our new President. The process that began two years ago is coming to a close and the two opponents are spending every waking moment stating the case as to why "they" should be "your" choice. Now, in case you missed the most important word in this blog entry up until this point I will repeat it and place it in bold print so there is no mistake..."choice". In this country most of us have the right to have our voices heard every four years with regards to who will be the head of our united family so to speak...and you simply cannot lessen the shear magnitude of the importance of that single action that each of us will take on Tuesday the 4th of November. Some people believe that the current President is a fine man with great intelligence and ethical fortitude who has followed the path that has best served each and every one of us and some of us watch SNL but regardless of that opinion...by the end of next week we will have a new leader. I have my opinion...people that know me well enough know how strong that opinion is...but I will keep my "choice" on this election day to myself until I am in that booth. If I could possibly pass on any advice regarding this Tuesday...I would just say listen to the candidates, listen well, then listen to your heart and vote with your conscience knowing you may well be deciding the future of you and your children with the vote that you cast. As I have always said and firmly believe...if you can vote and you don't...then you lose your right to bitch about decisions and actions taken later...you might have changed the direction with your vote and you blew it... Don't blow your chance...get out and vote this coming week. As far as who loses this election...there is always dog catcher or the sanitation department.

Until Next Time...

BIGGER, BETTER, STRONGER...HARDER!!!

Okay Boneheads!!! You asked for it...you kept telling us you wanted a bigger, better, stronger and harder Bone and we heard you!!! As of October 2nd The Bone will be found at 106.7 and 106.3 FM only...no more 104.7... We will be stronger and harder where you need us the most...in the car...at home...at work...hell everywhere you will be, we will be there!!! As I sit here waiting for the switch to be thrown I can't help but get a little pumped about the whole thing...everywhere I have been to in the last 4 plus years I have been on air here boneheads have always asked me..."hey, when are you going to get stronger so I can hear you at work...or in different areas here in southern Maine?" Well as I said...you spoke and we listened...it's finally happening and none of us could be happier. Thank you for all your emails and phone calls telling me how pumped you are about the change and how much you love what we do...because that is why we do it...for you. I have been on air in a lot of places...and this area has the best listeners of any of them...so you deserve this and as always I hope you continue enjoying it.

Until next time...
