   With WCBS gone my only-radio-station-listened-to accolade   
   goes to WINS (NY area's other all-news station that had   
   come under common ownership with WCBS long ago)...I retuned   
   my car radio,and in recent days set to retune my nightstand   
   radio (rarely used,I actually won it in a raffle as a child   
   in the 1960s and have used it in the 1970s...not sure I got   
   the dial to WINS (1010) but the digging unearthed my father's   
   (originally HIS father's) ninety-odd-year-old pocket watch,   
   which I had suspected was buried in the papers by the radio   
   over a decade ago,and a Team Twin Towers REBUILD pin,which   
   I thought was,like all my others,lost forever.   
      
   While my maternal grandfather's Omega watch stops and needs   
   cleaning every few years,my paternal grandfather's Illinois   
   runs fine when wound despite its very long inaction.
