Why I chose a dog over other animals. By Red McLean At first I considered a mountain goat. High on the roof he would seem to float. All would seem fine till his dinnertime- When the TV antenna he would find divine.
We have a rooftop antenna.
Cable is way too expensive in our county. We have
2 old tvs on digital computers and 1 Hi Def and have Verizon Fios for the internet, but opted out of their TV package.
Our adult son rarely watches TV. He plays video games and watches movies.
Husband usually sleeps through what he is watching.
We get about 15 channels counting the networks, 4 public channels and all the digital variations.
There are only 4-5 programs I ever watch…most of them on PBS or our independent public channel (love International Mystery series.) I watch DVDs or read books.
Right now, I am going through all 88 episodes of Farscape on DVD.
(if there is one downside to not having more channels, it is not have current Sci-Fi.)
Next, I thought about a pig…… however, they have special needs; a clean pen, pasture and slop trough , nutritious slop, fresh air and room to roam. The “3 Little Pigs” story does not cover all their needs….

Why would any one want a goat? Every one knows, sheep don’t talk. And they are way more fun.

So who is that trying to watch tv?
We know Red doesn’t talk that way.
Is it dad or Red’s older brother?

I can’t remember the last time I saw a rooftop antenna. Every once in a while we need to be reminded that this strip is set about 50 years back.
