Same here. I use mine to trap muskrat and beaver. Sometimes their fur
leaves lots of strands in the trim and controls, giving the enclosure a
well follicled look.

What a weird coincidence.

I share your sentiments, however when something interesting happens they
have guys with vehicles full of fuel to haul those expensive cameras to
the scene and televise stuff that I would find difficult or impossible
to see first hand. Also some of the programming* is interesting enough
to filter through the 'messages'.

These guys cover local fires and floods real well, but I still like the
aerial surveillance from Viacom and Newscorp.

and a few others that don't come to mind right off hand.
I don't care for the so called contrived reality hoaxes nor anything
with a laugh track, nor hollywood gossip. Used to watch MMA/UFC stuff
but it's all been pulled around here, have to go out in the street to
see that action these days.
Oh and I almost forgot - Watching the RedWings take the 'cup' again.

The MMA/UFC has been pulled from your area? That about freeking sucks
IMO. Tonight on Versus is the Mike Brown/Uriah Fabre rematch. I'm
really looking forward to seeing that fight, IMO I see Brown beating
Uriah again. That Brown is just so strong for that division. Should be
a great fight either way.:-)

I see Brown winning by tap out in round three, at least that is what I
am hoping. Though I wouldn't be upset if Fabre wins, it should be a
great no matter what.

Most of American tv is so boring, and the old, old movies I like to
watch on DirecTV, I have seen them a million times already.

I keep thinking someday I will buy a Lyngsat www.lyngsat.com or a
Pansat (I don't know their website.Where you at Lee Richardson? in
Evansville,Indiana) satellite rig so I can watch a lot of
International/Worldwide tv programs, for free.

I wouldn't understand all of those languages, but I guess I would
understand the gist of that stuff.

I know I'm missing some good stuff. I watch TV programs at my brothers
place sometimes such as the History channel and Nova but that caliber of
program is maybe 5% of all programming. Speaking for myself it is just
to easy to plop down on the couch and start watching something good for
a while then spend more time watching what turns out to be crap so it is
a negative use of time over all.

Telamon - I know what you're saying. There's nothing wrong with
watching "some" television but I don't let it dictate what I do. My
reading time is the most important time for me. That is when
everything, including the radios go off, I would do without tv if it
came down between the two....and it's not even close.
