I recently cancelled a major chunk of my cable service and only get like 5 stations beamed into the house. Net results - savings of $25 per month - enough to get 2 Indian buffet lunches.
Content loss of intellect - zero - perhaps better condition of grey matter due to lack of toxic drivel being bombarded onto it from the erstwhile cancelled channels.
Now like a recovering alcoholic I am thinking of cutting the moronic cord entirely. I also got rid of the concept of land telephone line now that I have more cell phones than I can count at my disposal (its a long story).
I am working very hard on the concept of telepathically connecting with fellow humans on a need to know basis and will update the readership as the concept matures. If I do not you might smell the stink anyway and try to reach me.
What I am discovering more and more is that the media sometimes might be in cahoots with the perps and instigating a story or two so they can send their goofy and lazy cameramen out to chase it. A fire here or a minor explosion there - no loss of life other than the mongrel that caught in the storm drain but our KTVU's John Dingleberry is there live and reports that its not a mongrel after all - it was a black squirrel that was the size of a mongrel and it has since been devoured by the wild vultures.

Foxconn employee jumps to death in Southwest China. Now that was smart .. he chose a big enough area to jump in since he was afraid of water. This way he sure landed on some hard surface. Could have been an ipad what with so many being built in that region.
Thats it folks.
This autumn the weather gods cooperated as we took a family trip in the northeast to see six states that qualify or makeup what is known colloquially in America as New England. Mass, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island (tiniest state in the union). The outing helped tally up the states we either lived in, visited or have worked in to 47. Guess which three have eluded this intrepid traveling family. Any rate the drive was all in about 1,800 miles and included some memorable geographic wonders or points of interest. Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one. Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list.
