One day while on the Internet I discovered that I could order forty dollar coupons (two) from the feds to help off set their feelings of guilt because my TV was old and would not work after February without a digital converter. I had not intended to do anything until my TV quit working, but it became so simple to get the coupons, that I ordered them
. They sat around my house for a month or longer. They expire after ninety days from the day of shipment. Mine expire in October sometime. So yesterday I went in and bought two RCA digital converters, and since I had them, I installed them today. I hadn't realized that they would revolutionize what I can get off the air with my makeshift antenna system, and such clarity I have not seen on my TV in current memory. The pictures were so clear that I used my camera to demonstrate to you that the pictures really are good. I am quite remorseful that I did not act much sooner, but I just told myself that it was one hoax being foisted on the little user by big marketing forces. I even discovered that several of the broadcast channels have sub-channels. For example KBYU, channel 11, has three programs going concurrently. I could watch a cooking program or President Hinckley or another General Authority. The pics I have included were from Channel 11.

Things are really tending towards autumn - the geese are flocking; the temperatures are cooling; football is in full swing; and the leaves are ready to turn.
We have tickets next Monday to go see the Body World, at the U of U next Monday. It is supposedly an excellent display on how the body functions using plasticised cadavers that are arranged so one can see inside. What will be thought of next? gwh
