TOM ELLIS (Boston-Newton, MA) Subject: Good news! Tropical depression Danny advisory #12. Hi Jim, Thanks for your good news. We have dodged another bullet. Yes...it's been raining since yesterday morning and expected to continue for another 24 or so. No big deal for us on the Cape, although further north they're expecting some flooding. I'm going into New England Baptist Hospital at 5 a.m. Monday to have my right hip replaced, so I'll be out of touch for a few days. It's my first surgery. I'll be in excellent hands there...really no need to worry. I'm in great shape physically, so the rehab should be a piece-a-cake. How's your TV situation? Are you back in business for football season? Our Patriots squeaked by the Redskins last night, but Brady's shoulder sure has us anxious this morning. I'll be back in action soon. Tom

PRAYERS go out to Tom for his hip surgery. Know all about that procedure because I have a total hip and joint replacement in August 2000. Quite painful.

ANDY WALDROP (Houston, TX) Jim, I posted the message below on Facebook...Any friends of mine that know Bud Buschardt, please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Bud was in a serious traffic accident Thursday night near Denton (rolled his vehicle two or three times). He ended up with a broken collar bone, lots of bruises, and lots of discomfort. Up-side of the whole thing: he's alive and supposed to be sent home from the hospital tomorrow (Sunday)!!!

DAN MCCURDY (Sherman-Denison, TX) Well, it's obvious that any continued banter from cyber-buddies of Tejas and her memory directed to Sara Chester will only serve to dignify her obvious lack of compassion and understanding of us radio-heads' compadre-ship with Jim Rose and his departed fuzzy partner. Ms. Chester (I'm assuming prima facie that she's not married) and her continued references to 'clinical help' and 'sickness of mind' is clearly attempting to transfer her internal contumelious (look it up, chumpette) angst onto Jim Rose and, by implication, those of us who care for him and the memory of his dear friend, Tejas. I'm sure Poughkeepsie has numerous shrinks and therapeutic analysts, and yes 'clinical help' for her unique, ground-breaking case-study. To be a fly on the wall in her shrink's office would be a rare treat for anyone who has passed Psychology 101. Perhaps in Ms. Chester's case, Psych 401 would be required.

JOHN HALE (Austin-Cedar Park, TX) Jim, Regarding Sara Chester's suggestion that you need to "get a life" because you include Tejas' name on the newsletter...If this is her soapbox, I'd suggest that SHE get a life and leave you and your newsletter and your byline to the scads of us who appreciate you and Tejas. I've said it before and I'll say it again...it's YOUR newsletter and you can include mention of anyone and any pet you see fit to. If Sara's that perturbed by it, she has the option of NOT reading your newsletter. Case closed. Yours Truly, John Hale; Mobile Magic Music 512.336.8742 (33.Music) "We're at the best parties!"

TRIVIA ANSWER: Famous songwriter/pianist Burt Bacharach says that his first choice to record Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head is Ray Stevens but Ray doesn't like the song. Thank goodness that BJ Thomas thinks otherwise. The tune becomes a smash at #1 on Billboard and transforms into a huge hit as the theme song of the great 1969 movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with stars Paul Newman, Robert Redford and the lovely Katherine Ross.

SARA CHESTER (Poughkeepsie, NY) Jim, Please remove me from your e-mail list. I thought I was subscribing to a newsletter with news and information about the radio people and events. But, it is not. It's repetitive and become boring because there is no news, just gossip and endless congratulations and backslapping. Each newsletter has the same 4 or 5 people who e-mail you. You don't have a real newsletter; it is more like a circle of a half dozen folks who congratulate each other. On what, I don't know. On having pets, on having worked at different radio stations? Beats me. There's no news in your newsletter. It's just a collection of e-mail from the same people in each edition. Seemingly each of your readers pities you for something. I don't know what it would be. My time is better spent Googling on the Internet rather than reading the same tired old love letters to and from each of your 4 or 5 subscribers. Sara

JRRR's last five issues contain a total of 17 names of emailers that do not repeat. That's below the news, news makers and events of the day. According to Alexis Web ratings JRRR has an average of almost 3 million hits each and every month. JRRR's subscriber and contributor base covers most of America, Canada, Europe and Japan. Every single one of her emails insults me for the love of my precious Akita doggie Tejas who recently dies. And yes we do congratulate our media brothers and sisters on their achievements. We are proud to be a part of the broadcast fellowship. She invites herself into our community only to put us down and call us names. Evidently, all of the JRRR readers who sympathize in our loss of Tejas upsets this woman a great deal. May God have mercy on this matron.

DR. JEFF CUNNINGHAM (Austin-Kyle, TX) Well, I suppose that Sara is right. We just have to do what she suggests and get over the loss of our family pets. Thanks for letting me have my say. Jeff, Angela, Snoopy, Jackie and Sugar; Kyle, TX PS. I will be seeing my grief counselor down at the tavern tonight. (www.zoesplaceclinic.com) / (www.myspace.com/drjeffcunningham)

JONATHAN SWIFT (1667-1745) Ambition often puts men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same posture with creeping.
