W5NU -- Continued from QRZ.com

Here is a more in-depth, candid, and personal discussion by the poor old man behind the scenes, including some social, economic, political, and geopolitical comment. My main QRZ page seemed not the place for it. For example, after acquiring the station and antenna farm of my dreams, why did I dispose of it? Behind that is the back story of inflation, increased property taxes, a woman of course, a presidential election, my resignation from a great job, and moving to Texas.

So you're aware, I'm telling my story backwards, present to past, writing from an old folks home. It's a temporary stay brought about by a prostate problem. Until purchased by the Avir corporation, the home was the LBJ Medical Center in Johnson City, Texas. In the Texas Hill Country. President Johnson's picture is on the masthead of the Johnson City Record Courier. We have here a Lady Bird Cafe, LBJ's Boyhood Home, Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park, and other things LBJ.

In another month my prostate problem will have been remedied with a minimally intrusive laser procedure. I will return to my apartment in Blanco, Texas. Meanwhile, I have been amazed at the adaptability of residents living here. And the professionalism of staff. It didn't seem that way at first, and I'm grateful for my capacity for compassion and understanding in adjusting to being here.
