Danged tough tale of that kitten your boy lost.

Not having had TV for over 15 years, I’m surprised at what gets to me, these days. In retrospect, I marvel that my ~20 years of watching the “idiot box” had left me so jaded, but it had. I can’t imagine the level of insensitivity that one might be able to achieve with 512 channels of 99 44/100% pure hellspew available 24/7/365.

Yepper. I shorted it because the scrreen got really blurry.

I often keep the TV on, really low volume, tuned to a channel that offers information programs. I don't watch sitcoms, or TV movies, and I shut it off at 1800 when I 've seen the news.

On the weekends, I usually put in a movie or two.

The commercials are geared to appeal to the Great Unwashed, so my tolerance of TV in general is limited.
