I have searched fo4 (that was a typo, but isn't it worth saving?...)
ages for a clock radio that comes on with music and an alarm -- and when
you hit the snooze button, the alarm goes off but the music stays on and
six minutes later, the alarm rings again...and so forth. I had one like
this once, but have been unable to find a replacement. The best I could
do (for ten years now) is one that has two settable times -- and I set
one for the radio and the other for the alarm. Everything is dumbed
down, alas...and perhaps morning radio is no longer as listenable as it
once was -- what with the bad news and all, it's enough to give you
nightmares for those six minutes.

In addition to a Jeep Rubicon, I passed an Isuzu Premise today. I'll encourage Geary or Yost or maybe Robert Paul write the ad jingle on that one.
Today I ordered an alarm clock online.
I require the following of an alarm clock: analog dial (I read that L.E.D.s emit a small amount of radiation and why bombard your head with even small amounts of radiation for eight hours every day?), electric cord with battery back-up, quiet alarm. This combination is practically impossible in the modern world. You can buy an analog clock--battery or wind-up--with a loud bell for full antique effect. You can buy every imaginable kind of L.E.D. ugly--including one that displays the time on your ceiling, for easy reading, and one that sets itself by reference to radio signals from the gummint. You can buy boom boxes that have clocks on them. But not the kind of alarm clock I want.
Or so I thought until I discovered there's an entire on-line store devoted to alarm clocks! They even sell "retro" alarm clocks, which is what my desires add up to apparently. I have ordered something that was last made in the nineteen fifties and is now hip. My so-so premise was wrong; jeep-less, I have crossed the Rubicon.
