I Don't Get It

This fascination with the royal wedding.  Seriously, what is the deal here?  For weeks we have been bombarded about guest lists, who is invited, who isn't and who is angry about it, who is walking the bride down the aisle.  I just don't understand why America is so caught up in this.  Today already TV is being inundated with videos and photos of the wedding and even Elton John frowning at the wedding.  SMH.  Who gives a flying flip?  I suspect we will have videos and photos of the honeymoon for the next week or two.  These are people that don't really even like Americans if the truth be told.  I'll be glad when it's over.

We are going to cut the cable.  I got a digital antenna and it does a surprisingly good job.  There are about 30 over the air channels now.  There were 5 when we started with cable so many years ago.  However almost half are Spanish speaking channels here.  A lot of the other channels show very old TV shows and the resolution is just horrible on these bigger screens.  They are really bad, in fact so much they make watching unpleasant.  The exorbitant price increases every year has pushed us over the edge.  Every year in the past they would offer a new promotion to get the price to a more manageable level.  Not this year.  A price increase of 30$ and rude treatment has done it for us.  WE already have Netflix, which is OK but doesn't seem to be everything we thought it was.  So we will most likely try Amazon Prime and hope it is good enough to drop Netflix.  There also a ton other TV apps like these that have different offerings.  We will need to be careful what we add or we will be right back in the same price range of cable.  I will miss the DVR though.  I use that quite a bit to watch shows the wife doesn't care for when she is not around, history or military type shows.  Bet you thought it was porn.  Not me.
