Thought for the Day

"When I was a kid, you heard people frequently say 'Radio is a miracle.' In writing about radio over many years I had to find out where the word, 'Radio' came from.  Here's what I found...it comes from Latin words, 'Ra' which means 'energy' and 'Dio' which means 'God'.  Radio is 'God's Energy' ...no where does it say "audio".  It is about creating something beyond the physical..the ordinary...God's expression."
