I’m approaching that point.

I have cable now, and have it on most of the time, but I find less and less which I’m actually watching.

Bloomberg is informative in the morning, since they rolled out their new format with the news headlines on the side, next to the televised screen.

(I really, really like that, though I don’t like Bloomberg)

Fox Business is good. Between the two of them that takes care of mornings during the week. In the afternoons, evenings and on weekends there is less to actually watch.

And cable continues to get more expensive.

I am very, very, very close to cutting that connection.

King Of The Road Lyrics

by Roger Miller

Trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
ain’t got no big regrets

Two hours of pushin’ broom
Buys a eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means, by no means
King of the road

Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination: Bangor, Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes
I don’t pay no union dues

I smoke, old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I’m a man of means, by no means
King of the road

I know every engineer on every train
All of the children and all of their names
Every handout in every town
Every lock that ain’t locked when no one’s around

They sing, trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain’t got no cigarettes

About two hours of pushin’ broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means, by no means
King of the road

Trailer for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain’t got no cigarettes

About two hours of pushin’ broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I’m a man of means, by no means
King of the road

Miller pulled the plug years ago.

If I could only buy what I want to watch for channels @ 50 cents or $ 1 a piece, I'd probably have less than 20 channels and the Liberal and Lame Streams would know how we feel about what they produce because the majority of it SUCKS. My guess CNN we would have similar taste, all the business channels, Food shows, and all the channels with all the guys shows and that is about it.

Springsteen was right 57 Channels and nothing's on...
