It’s winter…..solstice has happened……and it’s chillin’ here in the High Desert. So hey, from all of us here at Open Sky Radio to all y’all who appreciate and enjoy the schizoclectic madness and magic that emanates from Our Gigonderous Jukebox of Love…..because after all if Music is Love (I believe that’s an old David Crosby tune), then JiveRadio is basically one big non-stop Love Letter from us to you. Why? Why not? Cuz we love livin’ the Desert Life!  For one thing…..no tsunamis!  or hurricanes!  or tornados!  or people! (well, at least a fairly sane number of folks)

So thanks to all, whether you are listening terrestrially via KDUP in cedarville, KLAP in gerlach, KWNK in reno, KORC in corvallis, or KJIV in madras, or if you’re listening in Malta, Madagascar, Manhattan, or Madison via internet stream on JiveRadio.org……have a super fab Holiday season, and may your coffee cup and propane tank both be bottomless……or at least half full…..when that next blast of blue norther nasty blows on in.

(and hey….if Alexa was under your tree or in your stocking, do take a look at the Alexa note on the right side of the JIVE home page, just under good ole Klappy, our radio mascot.  Because Alexa is now a jive girl and ready to help you keep jivin’ in 2019!)

so you’re registered to vote, right?  this election coming up on 11-6……kind of a biggie (and remember…..voting on ACTUAL election day is a pain in the butt that can be avoided.  take advantage of early voting!)

if you are NOT registered…….it’s not too late.  deadlines are approaching, but there’s time.  but don’t wait until the deadline.  JUST DO IT.  the sooner the better.

in nevada, the deadline to register in person is OCTOBER 16TH. the deadline to register online is OCTOBER 18TH.

in oregon, the deadline to register in person is OCTOBER 16TH.

in california, the deadline to register is OCTOBER 22ND.

yes, you can register online.  you can register in person.  you can register by mail.  but whichever you do, DO IT NOW.  don’t screw around.  get it done.  you will find all the information you need……county registration offices, dmv info, online instructions…..on the web.  your local county registrar will have a web site.  so will the secretary of state.
