Today, Tuesday 4 July 2006, Dick decides to talk about a gadget from his warehouse even though it's not a Friday, because the gadget suits the 4th of July theme. It was an American flag with a fan at its base to cause the flag to wave, called the Flag Waver.The Flag Waver is no longer available, but The Wave (picture at left) is, at thewaveflag.com. It's a self-waving flag and has a choice of 3 patriotic songs to play: The Star Spangled Banner, My Country 'Tis Of Thee, and Stars And Stripes Forever. Developed by SRM Entertainment with a co-inventor of the Atari 2600 and a co-inventor of Furby.
4th of July Fireworks
Dick has a very special way of viewing the 4th of July Fireworks in New York from his boat. Idiosyncratic is an understatement.
