On the article Does Anybody Still Watch 'Television'?

ReplyI worked for a cable company for years and got all 500+ channels free. But now I just have good ole rabbit ears (ok, a black box actually). Like Lilliane, I do miss the History Channel and Discovery and things like that. I watch a lot of PBS and there are a lot of digital channels over the air. I get to watch I Love Lucy and Twilight Zone marathons on Sundays! I watch online sometimes, but prefer to sit on the couch and click a button and have something pop up right away rather than going to Hulu or Netflix, browsing and waiting for my show or movie to load. But yes, I think TV as we know it is over with. TVs will just become 60" computer monitors in the next decade or so.

On the article Should News Anchor A.J. Clemente Have Been Fired for Swearing on Live TV?

ReplyI used to work in TV news and rule #1 is if you're anywhere NEAR a microphone, assume it's on. But Clemente also said he did not yet have an earpiece (it takes a few weeks to mold it to your ear) and his co-anchor left hers in the car. There was no floor director, so they had no clue they were on. His co-anchor happened to be looking up and saw the red light on the camera. But I've been in a similar situation where the earpiece system didn't work for some reason. I think he should be given a second chance. But then again, he's now famous, so he may get hired by a bigger market.

But if they stay on the truck until it's all clear, the patient in need may die. Time is of the essence. I just hope this isn't going to be a trend now.

ReplyI rinsed off my car today. Grabbed the hose and tried to wash away the pollen. Trying to cut down on how much pollen I'd touch and would get in my air filter. Alas, by the time I finished my errands, my car was once again yellow!

ReplySo glad this did not end like the standoff near Rochester, NY in December. Firefighters were ambushed and two were killed there.

On the article Syracuse Website Cites Atlanta 'Traffic Sludge', Says Everyone a 'Ma'am', 'Sir'

ReplySome more tips for Orange fans-- native Atlantans and Southerners will say hello or good morning to you for no reason other than just you're in their sight of vision and they're being cordial. Do not get freaked out by this. I did when I first visited the area.
Also, if you order iced tea at a restaurant, it will ALWAYS come heavily sweetened. If you want unsweetened tea, make sure you specify to your server. They will probably look at you crazy for a moment though and say "Unsweetened Ma'am?" -

ReplyYes, it took me a minute getting used to being called "Ma'am" when I moved here from Massachusetts. And there is no rush hour in Syracuse. It's more like a rush 15 minutes. When I was in Upstate NY this past fall, people thought I was crazy because I drove from Rochester to Syracuse (to visit my alma mater and pick up Orange gear) and back in the same day. They're only about an hour, 1:15 apart. That's like driving from some parts of Gwinnett to the airport. No biggie here in Atlanta.

I think a lot of people are afraid to speak out on this topic. I think maybe other options should be looked at first. The people who have one drink aren't the biggest problem.
