There is a house across the
street from us with the biggest television I have ever seen. Their television
covers an entire wall. From my living room I can see clearly what they are
watching, and mostly it's soccer. They do watch other things from time to time.
Baseball, and even American Football. Notice the theme there? Sports, lots of
sports. Well, now we are that house. Mark went and bought a new television for
the living room. I kept telling him that we do not need a new television, and
he kept telling me that he wanted one. His big excuse for buying one right now
was, "The tariffs. You watch, the prices are going to go through the roof
for televisions. The one I want has already gone up ninety dollars." So
Mark feels that he has saved some money. He didn't. He spent money he did not
need to spend. Seriously, if that Sony Trinitron hadn't conked out in the
1980s, I would still have that thing. I just don't understand this need to have
the latest and greatest. Anyway, the thing has arrived and Mark expects me to
set it up. I told him that he'll need to get rid of one of his bookcases full
of cook books. He said to just put it in front of them, which I will do. We
will have to have it tuned to sports all the time though. For the people across
Peterson Avenue eating at Wolfie's. They'll have a clear view of it from there.
