History repeats

I want to tell you a little story that I have been thinking about.
When I was a young boy we did not have a tv, just a radio, now radio back then was different than it is now. We had all kind of shows on the radio with movie actors doing the scrip. There was comedy shows like Jack Benny and Fibber Mcgee and Molly and Lucille Ball got her start in My favorite Husband, Then there were Westerns, like Gunsmoke, Hop a long Cassidy, The Lone Ranger. And Mystery with shows like The Shadow. Now that I have a satellite radio there is a station that plays these shows as they were back when I was a boy even with the commercials.
I was listening to a show the other day that took place back in World War Two. On the commerical they were asking for people between the age of sixteen and up to help our Goverment. It seems that at that time in history our Radar defense did not cover our whole country so these volunteers would watch our skies for two hours at a time for aircraft that might not be ours. Now fast forward to the present and I am a member of the Highway Watch Program that our goverment has set up for us that on the road a lot to watch for unusal happening that we may see like a car full of men at a power plant taking pictures or a car following a tanker truck taking pictures or taking notes. We are to watch our history landmarks and utilities anything out of the ordinary we are to report. I just though it was interesting how history repeats itself. Everone take care and have a great day.
