Rubbish

Man, daytime TV is crap. The guy across the hall got cable installed in his office a few months ago. If he were like most people in this building who have cable he'd leave it on CNN or Fox all day. No, he leaves it on NBC. So I get The Today Show blasting at me with such hard hitting journalism as "Americans now more polite than Brits". They spent at least 15 minutes on that subject. Even the real news shows keep their reports on actual news shorter than that. And you can tell who the target audience is. It's at-home mothers into organic this, herbal that, and all-natural the other.

And it'll get worse. Later he switches to Jerry Springer and the Springer wanna-bes. Yes, the show that shows us that the verbal skills of black women can only be expressed through yelling and an elaborate series of head snaps.


Look! Something other than me bitching!

Taken from the roof where I helped tear down those solar panels. That grain silo is ~3.5 miles away. The image (the one you get if you click on the image above) has been reduced to 25% of the original, but not cropped. I'm very happy with the zoom and auto-stabilization.
