network television withdrawal

Into our second week here at the lake and enjoying the nice peace and quiet, except for HOOdini the owl.  We do have our satellite dish set up and have all our DishNetwork programming available but there are no local network stations. The 'over-the-air' antenna doesn't pull in the closest stations which are in Springfield, in this deep valley we would need a tall tower.  Therefore, no Jeopardy, Wheel of fortune, Dancing with the stars, Survivor, GMA, etc.  I do get local news, weather, and comics on my computer which I check each morning.

Yesterday afternoon we visited the Titanic museum in Branson.  It was a neat experience with a few actual artifacts recovered from the bottom of the Atlantic.  There were lots of displays describing the conditions on that voyage and with an audio device there was many explanations of events.  On entry we were given a boarding pass with a name on it.  Mine was a crew member and Jo's was a passenger.  At the end of the exhibits we were able to determine the fate of our tickets.  Jo survived and I didn't.
