Barb, this has been a great discussion and I have enjoyed it immensely. So much diverse information here and so much to talk about. I loved the library link you just recently posted and sent it off right away to a friend. One could spend hours looking at the site.
Has anyone been to or heard of a small public library that sits on an island between Vermont and Canada? From what I understand, it's about the size of a house. I don't know how I happened to hear of it -- it sounds intriguing. Don't know who supports it.
Still can't get over the ticket for feeding the deer. In a way it's too bad someone didn't pass out for just a minute or two, and then be fine. That ridiculousness should be publicized.
I'd be delighted if U-verse was available here to be competition for Charter, which keeps raising it's prices. I still haven't forgiven them for taking Hallmark Playhouse and the CSpan book reviews out of expanded basic. Your math shocked me -- $800 annual just for the four or five channels I mainly watch -- the cable news and PBS. Without cable (or satellite) I'd have decent reception on only two or three area channels, and the local programs have the world's worst captions. I use Netflix for my movies and the few weekly shows I follow.
