Garfield on the Town

Just about every morning when I wake up, I say to myself, “Good, morning, Morning.”

…this was one of those mornings. As I slowly turned out of bed and touched my toe to the floor, I thought “I hate cold floors.” Sure enough, the floor was freezing.

Now, for your viewing pleasure, and to let you see what influenced my odd morning thoughts so many years ago, I bring you the cat who hates mornings nearly as much as he hates Mondays. (Too bad today is Tuesday…):

tradition, change, and whose is bigger

Have you heard the story on Cynthiana’s new city commission? Well, the long story is at The Cynthiana Democrat. The short story is as follows:

Digital TV changeover: The disaster everyone's ignoring?

Oooooh. Slick. I stole a headline from an article and made it my own by making it a question, rather than a statement. I so smart.
I’m sure that somewhere you have heard, read, or seen stories and rumors of the dreaded DTV transition. You’ve likely heard people panicked in some fashion over not being able to watch TV unless they do a ton of upgrades to their entertainment system. Heck, I nearly got into an argument at a Christmas dinner over someone’s misconceptions of the DTV transition. (see here: http://twitter.com/kg4vma/status/1078226274 and here: http://twitter.com/kg4vma/status/1078227108)
Honestly, I’ve been enjoying the confusion. Reading and listening to the mess has been very entertaining, and has even brought me several laughs. One of the latest articles I read is included amongst those gems. Continue reading “Digital TV changeover: The disaster everyone's ignoring?”
