The
Catholic nuns told us about Air Force “cloud seeding” and showed us old films
of nukes going off. This is how I learned Howard’s projector bulb is hot, and
the State Department uncles explained this is also a good reason to buy a TV
station when you tire of burning your thumb on the bigger sized bulb in Las
Vegas. Why would the movie projectionist allow me in the room to see how they
changed the reels in about 1969? The tired joke is, “They knew who they were
talking to.” Back in the days of evil, powerful labor unions, there had to be
three guys in the front of the airplane and two guys in the movie theater projection
booth. In my All-American neighborhood,
we called the other contractually required employee a “Stationary Engineer.”
