How much TV do you watch?
I've cut way down on my TV viewing and this forum is one of the main reasons. Ever since joining a few weeks ago, I've made some new friends here and shared a sense of camaraderie with a great group of people who are articulate, intelligent, funny and knowledgeable, not only about firearms but a range of life experiences.
I know we come from all walks of life, a few rich, a few poor and mostly many in between, from all parts of the country and around the world. A diverse group, indeed, but sharing common bonds of interests.
To the point: Because I've spent an hour or two each day here, I have less time for TV, which has turned out to be a plus. Like many of you, I have dozens of channels to choose from but have become much more discriminating in my viewing habits. For example, I routinely watch the Outdoors Channel, a little golf (in season), some football games (the Packers for sure), Turner Classics (love the old black-and-white film noir classics) and not much else including the mainstream media. If I want to check on the news, I go to the Internet.
Over the past few weeks, I've gotten to know some of you personally and it has been a pleasure, especially because this is one of the best forums on the Net, thanks to the diligence and wisdom of the mods who have given us just the right amount of space to speak our minds and keep it family-friendly.
So, not to sound hokey, thanks to all of you for enhancing my life, now in its 70th year, and keeping me away from the boob tube.
