“Just shut up and don’t ask questions”

Yesterday morning (Friday, July 4, 2008; Independence Day) I turned on our fantabulous HD-radio after returning home from running.
Don’t know as the HD-radio function is that fantastic, but as a mere table radio the sound is impressive.
But WHOA! It’s blowing me out of the bedroom.
It’s full volume.
So I fiddle around.
—1) The volume control does nothing, except at zero, at which point no sound.
—2) The tuning knob shows me the usual stuff on the digital display: the frequency, and the HD channels; but no HD channels.
In fact, I keep getting 91.5 FM even though it’s tuned to other frequencies.
“Wait a minute,” I think to myself. “This is the new technology. When in doubt, reboot.”
So I shut the HD-radio off, and turn it on again.
Everything back to normal: normal volume, and HD channels.
Apply old drill learned at Messenger newspaper regarding technology issues.
“Just shut up and don’t ask questions.”

I run (this time at a nearby park).

“91.5” is WXXI-FM, the classical-music radio-station in Rochester we listen to.

The “Messenger newspaper” is the Canandaigua Daily-Messenger newspaper, from where I retired over two years ago. Best job I ever had.
