6. take a televised media vacation
Sat Feb 22, 2020, 04:05 PM
Feb 2020

And discover what, if you are a TV consumer, you've been numbed to.
I killed my television in 1979, telly vision services have only been revived briefly in my household for holiday guests, then discontinued.
Useless, annoying and idiotic device.
Which at one time, for a brief period started showing some glimmers of providing informative content.
That died out in favor of crap like Goo Goo the Honey Boo Boo.
Exposure briefly to history channel had some interesting and informative programs.
In a line up of hundreds of selections of crap. Inane, whining, pretentious, overdramatized, idiotic crap.
