For uninteresting reasons I was stalled inside the house today, with none of the usual background noise that normally fills air, typically grandkids and other happy sounds.  Then I made a crucial mistake and turned on the TV.  I mostly gave up television several years ago, citing and absence of anything worth watching.   But now and then I have to check my sales resistance.  I rolled through debris of daytime offerings and stopped at an outdoor channel that had pine trees and water, thinking it might have possibilities.

NOPE

I toughed it out for 30 minutes, listening to a couple of very noisy young men festooned with all of the flashy high priced  gear their sponsors would want them to display, in a bass boat that surely cost more than my house, whooping and hollering every time one of them hooked some poor scrap of a fish.

I took that moment to be thankful for blundering into my first trip to the Northwoods in a canoe many years ago, for ongoing understated paddling partners, quiet conversation around a fire with two fingers of Bourbon and a fat cigar,  sounds in the middle of the night that simply cannot be heard in the city, and for all of the folks here on QJ who seem to understand the same notions.

  I am happy to not be buying whatever the two knuckleheads on TV were selling.

Thanks for Listening.

Kind Regards,
