Beautiful Sunset

I just looked out the window.  The sun is setting and it is just beautiful.  A great deal of the sky is lavender.  There are yellows and orange colors too.  You don't often see such beautiful sunsets in this part of the winter.  They say we are going to have milder temperatures too for the rest of the winter.  That will be nice as we will probably get to see more sunshine, I hope.  The severe wind chills have lasted long enough.  Not to get thru February.

HDTV is Almost Here - Are you Ready?

It is almost time for television to go digital. Are you ready for the big change over? Our local television station gave us a test the other day. They shut off their regular analog programming and went to high definition only and 2 of our 3 television sets went black. Many people are buying new televisions such as the one pictured here. We got a new 42" flat screen and it is already so much more clear than the old one.

However, if you are on cable or satellite, you don't have to worry because your televisions will work fine. Your antenna will no longer work unless you get a converter box and hook it up. You can get them at Wal-Mart for $55 and install them yourself. The Government was sending out coupons but they ran out of money and are asking for more funding. A friend who got a coupon took it to Wal-Mart and the converter box only cost her $10. That was a pretty good deal, don't you think?
