Karen and I managed to survive a whole week without television; with no local or national news, no reports of political bickering in our Congress or the British Parliament, no classic television shows like Andy Griffith, M.A,S.H., Home Improvement, Perry Mason, Johnny Carson,
Third Rock from the Sun, or the reruns of more recent shows like Blue Bloods and American Ninja Warrior and a few other "favorites".
But with the return of full power to the RV, back came the TV and the same old stuff on the air. We don't watch any of the new si-coms, or any of the late night talk shows, and have cut way back on my sports viewing. We do watch the national news, after I swore off it for a few months, but the news is still full of conflict, disharmony, violence, unhappy people and the final "feel good" story. Too many are being hurt by the government shutdown and unfortunately the Congress which has been "shut down" for so long is still being paid and not doing much to help those not only in the government, but in the private sector, who are being badly hurt by the whole episode.
There has to be a solution, and soon, or we may dig ourselves into a hole far deeper than the one we have dug ourselves into already. I pray for cooler heads, civil behavior, cooperation and compromise in all our dealings and above all.........God Help Us.
