It's Post Y2K, Technology Is Cool

I have seriously been considering going tech free, even if it is only for a week.  What drives my anti-technology fervor is the fact that my house is possessed.
If you know me at all or for a length of time I am sure you have heard me talk about CB Man.  This started happening the first few months we moved into our house 5 years ago.  We didn't have cable then and just had an antenna on the TV for local channels.  I was cheap and didn't want to pay for cable.  We had great picture and all for my local shows so we didn't mind.  Until we had heard the eerie voice coming from the speakers of our cheap Chinese made TV.  "Hey, whatchew up to tonight?  Yeah my wife isn't home right now."
"Ron, was that a ghost?!"
"Ummm, I don't know."
"You heard that too, right?"
"Oh yeah, that was freaky.  Hmmm, how odd.  I wonder if we are getting some feedback from someone's  CB radio."
"How weird is that?"
Little did I know that this phenomenon would change my life for ever.

We got pretty sick and tired of having our shows being over run by some dude out in the airwaves talking about inane things that no one on earth wanted to hear.  We were fed up with hearing about rashes, physical therapy, recipes, local political nonsense and odd whistling noises that he would make for no apparent reason but to disrupt my TV watching habits.  I just stopped watching TV for a long period of time.  I thought I will just ignore it, eventually he will die or get bored with a stupid, old-fashioned radio.  No, it gets worse.  Not only did he come through the TV, he was coming through our radios, phones, alarm clocks, surround sound system, and now sadly our baby monitor.

Do you know how creepy it is to have some zombie-voiced weirdo come through your baby monitor at four in the morning?  There have been many times when I have been tempted to buy a CB radio and just tell him to shut up.  If I ever meet this man I may have to shake him wildly, tell him to get a life and smash his radio.  Smashing his radio is key though, so I have to stay on task and keep my anger in check for optimal destruction.

We tried to switch to cable, no such luck.  It stopped for about a week and then he started breaking through again.  I have tried to explain this phenomenon to Comcast, AT&T, local CB clubs and every one thinks I have lost my marbles.  I am starting to wonder if I have lost my mind and are making this all up but every time I hear some ridiculous story come out of my TV speakers I realize that I should probably start putting Aluminum Foil over my windows and a matching foil hat for my head so the Alien will stop stealing my thoughts.
