 Funny, how it gets "in our blood" !

 Even at home, ( I'm "employed" by no radio entity whatever anywhere
 near home ) dead air causes my blood to run cold, just for an instant,
 even when I know it's coming.
 Heck, even when I'm the one turning the monitor down so I can hear
 the conversation in the room !
 Dead air is "just wrong" !!
