November 26, 2011. Canyon Lake, Texas. The Remote.

How times change.   From 1958 until 1968, we did not own a television set.   We were perfectly happy.  If something good was on TV, such as a hockey game, we were asked by friends to come to their home to watch the game.   Today, we carry our own satellite dish with us, including the remote control and the box.   Each home now has a new thin television set.

Today, we drove from the ranch to the lake house.  Ken set up the TV system and it worked like a charm, actually the first time it worked well the first time he turned it on.  But he was irritated to realize that he left the remote control at the ranch, so he called Dish TV and they are sending us a new one  by overnight courier.  We both laughed that we can not function without the remote.  How times change.
