he next issue of Ronnie’s Ramblings may be a bit thin. It is the time of year when events to cover become few and far between, in a manner of speaking. The wrestling season is finished, swimming/diving came to a conclusion last Saturday with the boys state finals (the girls state finals took place two weeks ago and all of the local girls basketball teams were eliminated By the regionals had finished. The only thing remaining is boys basketball; which begins this week. This is the sort of part. Tuesday night there are two games scheduled; both at 7 PM. One is in Martinsville, the other in Danville. If well timed, I can cover two basketball games in a night, but not at Danville and Martinsville. Wednesday there is just one game at Martinsville - easypeasy. Friday night not so much.

Three games at three locations; Martinsville, Speedway and Danville, all at 6 PM. I have no idea where I will go Friday night. Saturday is completely dependant on the results of Tuesday and Wednesday nights’ games. Staying close to home sounds good as does being able to cover two local teams at one location. Three other teams play at an almost as distant location which makes that attractive as well. The final team’s venue is about as far as the two local teams.
I will attempt to secure other photographers to cover one or more of these games. As I look at the schedule it is possible for there to be no games for me to cover on Saturday night. I seriously double such an outcome, but as the schedule is, it is possible.
Should that happen, I would not have any content for the following Thursday’s issue. Actually, I would be without content until spring sports begin. (Indoor track and field is not part of my schedule.) The spring season does not get underway until the last week or so of March. Knowing Indiana weather as I do, it is doubtful there will be many contests until at least the first or second week of April. Maybe I will have a “Readers
Favorite Photos” contest baed on the statistics I receive from the publishing service I use. What do you think? And now the lighter side... Unless you’re a Luddite exclusively using obsolete technology, you’ll recognize these four ancient tech terms as relics of a bygone era. 1. ‘Dial’ Plenty of people still say they’re “dialing” a phone number. The term goes back to the beginning of the telephone era, when phones had a rotary dial — a switchboard users needed to swing each number. Rotary phones haven’t been used for decades, but people still say they’re dialing away. 2. ‘Hanging up’ Unle s s you’re using a pay phone
(which isn’t likely), you aren’t “hanging up” anything. That phrase refers to ending a phone call by placing a corded phone back into its holder, which, most often, literally hung on a wall. Ending a call today usually just requires the click of a button or the tap of a smartphone screen. 3. ‘Roll up/down the window’ In ye olden days, cars had a handle that you needed to rotate in order to pull the window up or down. Modern cars aren’t made with a crank anymore — they just have a button or switch that you can click upward or downward to maneuver the window direction. 4. ‘Carbon copy’ This term originally referred to the days before Xeroxing, when, in order to make copies, you would need to place a sheet of carbon paper behind the original sheet so the ink transferred over. Now, the term lives on in email (when you CC someone, you send them a “carbon copy” of your email). It’s also popular in everyday conversation, calling two similar items carbon copies of each other.
