When we finally made the digital transition, I lost access to my local PBS station. It became non-existant. And I missed it. I don’t care about NBC, CBS and ABC. But I miss Nova, Nova Now, Globe Trekkers and my Saturday Morning Cooking shows (which hopefully will work this Saturday).
So when I did the scan the other night and realized that yes indeedy, I had my PBS station back I was excited and enthralled. I’ve spent the past few nights with my butt mostly parked in front of the boob tube indulging in educations TV. I spent Tuesday evening revelling in the wonders of the mind when music is involved, learning about CAPTCHA and ReCAPTCHA and a documentary about a gay man killed in France by Skinheads. Last night was spent watching Garrison Keller on American Masters, and tonight has included the aforementioned Globe Trekkers, and WorldFocus where I learned that the level of c-14 in the atmosphere has increased since they did the Nuclear testing back in the 1940s and 50s. This means they can date ivory to determine if its antique or comes from an animal that has been killed more recently.
