Soupy Sales AND Rodney Dangerfield? Finally! Some Respect!
As I awakened this morning, I went downstairs to turn on the TV and watch The Weather Channel. As I was searching for the remote control in my weary state-of-mind, it occured to me. “Wow, do I really need a remote control to operate a television set? What happened to the days when watching television was more an active event for the spectator?”
The active event that I had in my still half-asleep mind was turning dials and adjusting the volume knob, maybe adjusting the rabbit ears antenna, rather than looking for the remote which happened to be right next to the recliner.
Alas, the digital age is here. The dials and knobs have disappeared and I have become a “recliner potato” with my saturday morning sugar-enriched kids cereal getting fat, and can anyone tell me what happened to the prize at the bottom of the cereal box?
Does anyone know what is to become of the old WSEE building in downtown Erie?
Who knows…thought Erie Redevelopment Authroty had purchased it from BL. My guess would be it will be bulldozed into oblivion to make way for garish townhomes that no one will buy.
