Direct TV… 10/19

( I was busy yesterday, I got locked in a car and couldn’t get out)

We put a small dish out side our home to pick up all the good stuff. There are so many channels now I just can’t keep my thumb off the remote. 10 seconds a channel then it’s on to another. I mean either my thumb is going to fall off or the batteries will go dead.

I just can’t keep it on one channel thinking that there has to be something better that will improve my brain. There’s even a channel that reruns all the soaps of the week, another that reruns games shows of the 1970’s. There is MTV as well as several dozen channels that are actual radio stations and you pick your era of rock or in Rosebuds case "swing".

You can turn in 24 hours of cartoons, remodeling, gardening and at home dentistry. My brother has a dish as well. He’s a wrench head and has it welded 24 hours on race cars, shop talk and machanics 101, the Speed Channel.

There was a time in this country when you went to the hardware store and for $15.95 purchased a TV antenna. An hour’s work of installing and could pick up free of charge all the local TV stations, all 3 of them. Now, it’s $60 per month for Direct TV allowing you to watch Lawrence Welk reruns… trilling, just trilling.

Then if you add the basic NBA, NFL packages your in triple digits$.
We only have the basic so for $720 a year I’ve been trying to come up with something rather than surfing the channels and failing. After due thought, there isn’t any but if anybody has any suggestions about better time usage let’s hear…
