Autumn beauty

Solution: Long Story

Our rural property is heavily wooded with Trout Run cutting through the lower level. Observing nature is one of our favorite pasttimes from the front porch or kitchen window, however there is a downside to to living off the beaten path. The conveniences of urban life such as good TV reception have been a challenge.

* My rebuttal letter

Jay Leno's Headlines comment,

"Grandpa, turn the TV around."

"I went back and watched the episode online it was definitely you. Here is a link http://www.facebook.com/l/0ec57;www.thejaylenoshow.com/video/episodes/#vid=1159512

The headlines segment is the last segment and your picture appears around the 40 minute mark." (Message from Scott S., past client who watches last night TV)

Solution: Persistance

Soultion: Patience

Solution: $$$$===CABLE EXTENSION to Yonkers house

TV TV

Finally Dancing with the Stars and Local News & Weather via Cable TV. We have missed both since the switch to digital TV this spring. (We used to call Dave's sister in Corning, NY to learn the results of competition on Dancing with the Stars.

Solution includes: cable TV with high definition & local channels, digital phone and high speed internet. I feel like the Yonkers have joined the 21st Century.
