"It's a wondeerful day in the neighborhood"

    That's a song which Mr.Rogers used to sing. I never got to see much of his show on PBS - I was always working or going to school. But it seemed like a worthwhile show.

    I was wondering ... With the ecomony in "depression" will the money run out for making "stupid" movies and TV shows? There seems to be an awful lot of junk (my personal opinion) on the airways - I can't talk about going to movie theaters since I don't do that. I usually wait for the DVD to be released, then I can watch it at home. We were out of town a few weeks ago and the hotel had more "junk" in their selection of movies. We found one out of about 30 worth watching.

    There was an expression some years back that TV was "bubble gum" for the eyes. Currently I don't think TV rates that comparison- it's more like used bubble gum.

    That reminds me - I miss chewing bubble gum. I used to own a motorhome, one with the big front window. I'd drive along and amuse myself by blowing chewing gum bubbles - living dangerously....wow. Golly gee, I did all kinds of things to amuse myself. There was a "hole in my soul" as the ABBA song said. Luckily that hole isn't there anymore.

    That's enough of that - I'm becoming maudlin.
