It's been a hectic week plus since I got back from the SLIG. Some really lousy weather, shoveling snow and recuperating have occupied the time. I'm in the process of writing up my post-institute research report.
I try avoiding non-genealogical issues on the blog. Today I will stray! Here are a few grumbles and observations that need venting!
1) Why do gyms allow cell phones? People sit on the equipment texting away or chatting. They can't go an hour without visiting?
2) What happened to network TV? Back in the 20th century, I could line up shows during prime time that were interesting, entertaining and watchable. Now there are 4-5 shows that fit those three concepts during the entire week! They are all on CBS.
3) What happened to A&E and the History Channels? They used to produce really interesting movies and programs. Now History Channel 1 & 2 will runs a few of those old programs and show some interesting new stuff, but mostly it's 'reality shows' that are supposed to have some relevance. A&E? Reruns of network shows and reality shows. What happened?
4) A plea to Encore Westerns: Drop the spaghetti westerns, the weird stuff from the late 60s -70s and anything not set roughly before WWI. Rodeo movies and modern-days cowboys aren't Westerns! Get back to John Wayne, Audie Murphy, Glenn Ford, Randolph Scott, Gary Cooper and Company! Go easy on the singing cowboys too!
OK, I'm done! Back to genealogy tomorrow!
