Every Sunday morning at 10:30 I enjoy watching Mississippi Roads on PBS. The narrator visits towns and villages in Mississippi which to a new comer to Mississippi I find fascinating. But this morning it was not on. Instead it will be aired on Thursdays at 7:30, which is not nearly as convenient as Sunday morning. No problem. Soon I will search for Texas Reporter.
As I was expecting to watch TV and was already eating my late breakfast, I searched for something to watch and found on the Smithsonian Channel a program called Arial America. I picked it up as they were exploring Utah. It was wonderful. The narration discusses the history of the different places in the state along with the current situation. And of course the arial photography is breathtaking, especially the parks in Utah. Ken and I have been fortunate to visit southern Utah and northern Arizona many years ago but the pictures stay in your mind, so the pictures today brought it all back to my mind.
Each program, they visit another state. Next up was Vermont and the Green Mountains, another state Ken and I have explored. I have always marveled at the beauty of North America. Many folks will make multiple visit to European cities and towns yet not see the Canadian Rockies or the Utah parks. When we were much younger, we travelled extensively in North America. We have visited every state and every province. It is a good thing we did not wait until we retired as we could not do it now. These Arial America shows are worth watching and I suspect they can be purchased at the Smithsonian. Never believe it when people tell you that Television is a wasteland. You just must search for the gold, in this case Arial America.
