Eeew! That said, my dad tells a funny story about how he and his uncle used to drive cattle trucks into St. Louis, when Dad was in his teens, and his uncle wouldn't let him try out the room "with comforts" at the truckers' hotel where they stayed. This was around 1952.
Almost didn't click on this thread, since the topic is tv related, and I couldn't tell anyone what is going on as far as "programming".
A tube for select videos is all for us. Weaning myself off of NCAA, NFL football was easier than I thought it would be (21 yrs ago), still watch some HS games though. Besides being loaded with "programming", tubes are time robbers. I look back and regret that I didn't spend more time with relatives that have passed away.
We had a neighbor about 40+ yrs ago (I was too young to remember him) that took his cattle to Peoria, and "stayed" overnight. Syphlis killed him.
