Hour 4 (11.13) 9:05 — Replay of the tape: A student pilot on his first solo cross-country is in the air when the FAA grounds the country, and he asks air traffic control what to do. 

9:20 — LED Christmas lights against the big, hot incandescent bulbs we grew up with, plus the right way to throw tinsel (in clumps). Neil’s brother Craig Saavedra has won two Tony Awards for producing on Broadway. Then the stores that are gone: the Sears toy department, and Chick’s Sporting Goods, the Covina chain that became Dick’s. 

9:35 — More stores we miss, starting with the RadioShack where Conway bought his first CB radio, and what “what’s your 10-20?” means. Neil has The Fork Report live from Wild Fork in Laguna Niguel on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 2 to 5 p.m. 

9:50 — The FAA ground stop is over, but untangling the mess will take days. Plus, the asphalt tanker that hit a docked riverboat in New Orleans, and why this Friday the 13th felt cursed. 

Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI! 🎙️
