21. The only business in my area

that might have any kind of TeeVee on would be a bar and then it depends on which bartender is on duty or who the clientele are at that moment. I go to any bar maybe once every three or more months so... I have one friend who never turns off her TeeVee but she NEVER watches the news unless something big has happened and she wants to see what it was. Come to think of it, one would have to have satellite connection to get those channels anyway.

Now the radio, on FM, we get two stations, well used to. One was a pretty good new and upbeat music station until the Mormons bought it, then it was Flush Limpjunk and Hilarity all day so that became a nonoption the first five minutes after the switch over. The NPR oriented station is also owned by the Mormons and they have church oriented stuff on a good deal of the time. I don't like the slant that NPR has taken lately so I only listen to that station when they have classical or jazz music programming on anymore. Glad I have my cassette player, a large suitcase of tapes and the interwebs.
