I thought I might dip my toe into the airwaves. I'd just heard the
media types
expounding on how irrelevant brodcast TV is. I hooked up my 12" black
and white set to the cable, which I use only for cable Internet.

Over the weekend, I found myself in White Plains, NY. I was happy to
find a branch of my bank there so I could extract funds without paying

Kruspy Krisp I ate for breakfast. The space bus is ambling along, and
the passengers are up and around. Will it take me three hours to

latter term loosely.
