These days, I'm a luddite with a teensy 21" screen but I do loves my surround sound and subwoofer! Call me a dag but I liked both Lone Ranger jokes!

I no longer have a TV, I don't need it. I hear about all the important news on the radio and I make my own pictures - without snow! Darlene,

You were a year ahead of us so, we got our first TV in 1964. I no longer have a TV, I don’t need it. I hear about all the important news on the radio and I make my own pictures - without snow!

Ohhh! We got our first color TV 46 years ago? How can I remember? My daughter just had her first birthday. The color was garish and hard to adjust. Now the U. S. has gone digital and if you don't have a converter box or cable or satellite you don't have a picture Those Lone Ranger jokes are really groaners. Ohhh!

"Kemosabe... Apache to East!" he whispered. The Lone Ranger looked to his faithful companion. "What do we do?" Tonto pondered a moment. "We ride West!" After riding a short while, Tonto again paused, searching the horizon with his eagle-sharp eyes. "Kemosabe... Apache to West!" The Masked Man looked once again at his friend. "What should we do?" Tonto scratched his head in thought. "We ride North!" After a brief ride, Tonto stopped to scent the breeze. "Kemosabe... Apache to North!" "What do we do now?" his companion asked. Without hesitation, Tonto replied, "We ride South!" Within minutes, Tonto reigned in his horse and dropped to the ground. Placing his ear to the earth, he listened intently. "Kemosabe... Apache to South!" Worried, the Lone One asked him, "NOW what do we do?" Tonto thought hard for a moment, his eyes squinting in concentration. Then his face lit up. "What do you mean "WE", White Man?"
