BIG NEWS

As a curmudgeon, I can whine with the best of them. And, after a lot of whining, I GOT THE USE OF THE CURMUDGEON REPOR SITE BACK. 

So you can let this site go - all future action will be back on familiar Curmudgeon Repor turf: Curmudgeonrepor.blogspot.com. 

Sorry for all the interim confusion. Blame fractious curmudgeons. 

Pneumatic Tubes


We old farts fondly remember those magical vacuum tube systems in department stores. The kindly sales lady filled out your purchase form, took your money, placed it in a space-age doohickey and whoosh it would zip away. 

I never thought much of where it zipped. All I knew was that your change would come whizzing back and off you'd go. 

For a kid, it was magic. Clearly, for the central operator, it was Frankenstein.
