I went to target and got a digital converter box. I decided to be cheap and and hopefully the old tv won't die in the next few months, when I might be feeling less cheap. Or even more cheap, but resigned. There was a period of abject panic when the public tv stations wouldn't come in, but I discovered their repeat signal and it passed.
I kinda hate the remote situation. I can't get my universal remote programmed so that the number buttons work, so it's a two remote world for now. And I wish I could set it up so that when I cycled through the channels it didn't hit every.single.one. And it had a back button.
I resent technology.

Mississippi most religious, Vermont least, survey says
Joining Mississippi in the top "most religious" states are other notches in the Bible Belt: Alabama (82%), South Carolina (80%), Tennessee (79%), Louisiana (78%), and Arkansas (78%).
New England predominates in the top "least religious" states: Following Vermont are New Hampshire (46%), Maine (48%), Massachusetts (48%), Alaska (51%) and Washington (52%).
"Clearly, states in the South in particular, but also some states in the Southwest and Rocky Mountains ... have very religious residents and New England states in particular, coupled with states like Alaska and others, are irreligious," said Frank Newport, editor-in-chief of The Gallup Poll.

She should be concentrating on science and engineering since it seems we're going to need another planet to populate.
Looking for some decorating advice folks: Do you think this bedding pattern would look good in a room with white and violet walls and dark hardwood floors? [link]
I think it would look good, Matt, as long as the shade of violet doesn't clash wiht any of the colors.
If the shades work it could be really striking.
I think with all the different shades of lavender in the comforter, you shouldn't have any problem at all, Matt.
