Seen Any Flying Pigs?

People who know me well know that I really don’t care much for television. Jack likes video, and has a big screen television in his office / media room.  For years, I didn’t even know how to turn it on but had to learn how when my mother stayed with us for a few weeks a month ago.

During her stay, he upgraded his Dish receiver and had it set up so it could drive two separate TVs.  We moved the TV in my mother’s apartment here to take advantage of the second feed, but that TV left when she did.

With the non-stop Black Canyon Fire coverage, I wanted Jack to leave KKTV on full-time.  He was a good sport about it, but non-stop becomes fatiguing even with the mute button on.  Yesterday, he picked up this Vizio Smart TV for me.  It is setting on the dresser, and I can leave it on mute and glance in occasionally.

I figure as long as KKTV is playing its normal schedule, we are safe.  For now.

This is Rich Harvey’s farewell at the final Black Forest media briefing.  Rich Harvey was the Incident Commander for both the Waldo Canyon Fire in 2012 and  Black Forest Fire that started last week. Gosh, I hope he never comes back.
