   Tomorrow, July 14th, starts year six here at Speed Gibson. To my
   readers, commenters, and fellow MOBsters, I can only thank you for
   indulging me in this wonderful therapy.
   To those new here, I am a self-described recreational blogger. Oh, I
   try to wax eloquent like Craig Westover from time to time, with little
   success. Mostly I just hope to pass along some news or perspective you
   otherwise might have missed. I also try to keep it clean, much as
   certain Democrats and a couple of Republicans try my patience. And
   finally, I try to keep it simple, with no ads, no pop-ups, and few
   graphics.
   Who is Speed Gibson? He's an adventurous teenager who traveled the
   globe chasing The Octopus on a radio serial circa 1938. His uncle
   Clint was the top agent of the International Secret Police, played by
   Howard McNear who later became Floyd the Barber on The Andy Griffith
   Show. The Octopus was played by Gale Gordon, of The Lucy Show fame.
   You can hear an episode every Friday night (early Saturday) on WBBM,
   AM 770 out of Chicago at about 12:40 am.
   See? Where else can you acquire such useful information? And there's
   more to come!
