    Nope. But he plainly said 'back in the day when we were kids', though. Even analog encryption of military communications didn't become common until well into the seventies, and only then under 'hostile' conditions. Routine traffic was VHF, and in the open.

    Ohhh! I'm sorry. You're applying for the slot of scriptwriter! My bad. You're hired!

    Haha. Amazing, the things that become ingrained in the social psyche!

    It was actually pretty straightforward, but it was nice it came off as expected. Especially as it was assembled mostly in the dark!

    Most sixteen years olds wouldn't know the difference between Boss Hogg and Sydney Greenstreet, probably. But you're right that the former would be much more apt to appear in this story. I just needed something to compare to, and Kelly would be much more likely to see his grandparents sitting around watching old Bogart flicks than episodes of The Dukes of Hazzard.

    Not the best apparel for a warm summer day, though!

    Haha! I'd never heard this one. It was perfect, and sweet! 👿 Last chapter just after midnight tonight. Thanks!

    There's one more chapter, to wind things up. But I've posted my two for the day. The last one is set to appear one minute past midnight!

    Okay, okay. You're hired. My old PR manager jumped ship on the planet of the dragon people, so I do have a slot available. Do you have your own space suit?

    Aren't digital cameras wonderful for preserving those fond memories?

    You're right, but just remember what Will Smith said in Independence Day: "Don't start none, won't be none!"

    Chapter 5

    The thing with just about any plan is that it evolves as it progresses. I don't think Kelly expected it to grow into what it did, but once it got going, it was hard to control!

    Thanks for saying! Hope you enjoy the rest!
  14. We were dragging a little the next morning as we crept through the woods to the back of the Muskrat Hill town square. It was even warmer today than it had been the night before, the sun bright overhead, and our black sweats were definitely living up to their name. It was easier for us this trip, because we weren't carrying all the heavy things we'd been toting the night before, but it was just too warm a day to be so fully clothed. Joey carried one sack with the transmitters inside, and Rich

    A fellow junkateer, huh? Great! Hope you have fun!
  18. We scoped out the square, but it looked totally empty. The tower clock now read twelve-forty five. With any luck, we'd be back to the truck by one-thirty. "Ready?" I asked Joey. "Yeah. Let's go." We stepped out from behind the tree and hastened along the sidewalk, hoping that we were as nearly invisible as we thought. I don't think I'd ever make a good burglar, because it's really unpleasant to skulk about in the dark hoping no one will notice you. And nothing makes a place more unco

    Chapter 3

    I like to poke fun at myself, sometimes. I never expected to be associated with zombies, I have to admit! Kelly kind of knows the plot has run away with them, but he's committed now. I felt like he was taking a little delight in stepping out of his normal cautious mode. Who doesn't?

    A bath was a lot more work back then, I guess. And it comes down to what people are used to. If you feel that smelling like an ox is normal, you are not in any hurry to do something about it, I guess.

    Oh! Well, then...uh...never mind!
