   There was a modest storm that blew passed this area last week.     
   The local repeater for one particular OTA TV channel went out     
   for a whole week. Initially, I missed hearing/watching the     
   evening news.  But then it was rather nice to have peace and     
   quiet around the house.  I didn't even bother with the news on     
   the radio.  After a week, when the tv came back to life, it was     
   just doom and gloom and bad shit going on.

   +1   Good attitude!
