Good morning all, a wet one here. It rained hard from mid-afternoon until evening. So much so that Channel 15 pre-empted their afternoon shows to have no less than four hours of continuous weather reports. I think I could have put the first ten minutes on a continuous loop and not missed a thing. The highlight of their reporting came when a field reporter spotted the electric company's trucks arriving to work on downed power lines. Wow, nothing more exciting than watching two trucks make their way past the camera, stop, then the guys getting out and walking over to survey the damage. They must have thought so since they played that over and over again.

In the real world though, there's probably something else in the box, that's how the real world works, not one set for a TV show. One other comment about that is most often, after going through the unit and finding little of value, they look behind something in the back of the unit and spot some high value item that needs to get appraised. Nope, I no longer view any of those shows, staged and phony through and through.... :wait:
Some years ago, our nephew got a job assignment down south and for Xmas we got him a sign "Where is Winter?".
He never said anything about it and when we asked, he said "I already have an answering machine."
Yep, we'd packed it in a box that would fit, and he never got past the label on the outside.
