I wish more people would cut their cable and use devices like Roku, Apple TV, SlingTV, ChromeCast, etc.

Everything is already out on the Internet.

You do not need cable or an antenna.

I haven’t lived with TV or a TV service for decades.

Of course, the Internet can be its own vice...

By the way, I would be remiss if I hadn’t mentioned the BEAUTIFUL Spring we’re having here at Festung Babylonia in Alabama!

I’ve been planting broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, peas, potatoes and onions since the end of February and all are up and looking great.

I’ll see if I can’t post some pictures.

Lot’s of bird activity! I have several bluebirds nesting in my various bluebird houses, lots of juncos, robins, mockingbirds, mourning doves, red headed woodpeckers, cardinals, Carolina wrens, titmouse, nuthatchers, great horned owls (I hear them in the woods hooting in the afternoon) and I even saw a pileated woodpecker yesterday!

I bought a new Husqvarna 24” chainsaw and an Alaska mill and will soon begin milling my own wood. I plan on building a post barn with my wood and use timber framing to join it all together.

For Alabama, this is the best time to work outside. Not hot and humid yet—that will start in late May.

I also love late September thru November for the same reason.

Cord cutting is happening at a rapid pace. Within the next year or two, almost everywhere in the US will be able to plug an HDMI stick into their display and connect to a 5G cell signal.

Glad I’m nearing retirement LOL.

I live in the Detroit area and can’t find another option for watching a Red Wings game. Even an NHL online subscription won’t show the home game.

Open to suggestions...
