    I hate television so much that I was considering getting drunk, taking an ax and smashing my TV this weekend. Then I realized that I don't have an ax, I don't drink anymore and I wouldn't be home this weekend. But when I got home last night, I found this show called Granite Flats on my Roku box. It looked like a kids' show, set in the early 1960's. But it's not a kids' show. It features kids in the cast and it is family friendly, but it's also the best written, directed and acted television program I have seen in YEARS! It's something of a Cold War spy thriller set in a small town.

    Watch it! Do what I did and binge watch it (Netflix or Roku). If you've lost faith in (American) television, this might save you from shopping for an ax and a bottle of Jack Daniels.

    I just moved to a new country (will be here a year or more)
    It's very difficult moving and setting up, especially with an over-enthusiastic 3 yr old in tow, but we are taking this up as a challenge

    USGP comes too quickly for me to think about going, perhps something else early next year...any good racing or rallying near the South/East Coast? (this is for the Americanos)

    Good luck on your new adventure.
    It was a pleasure to wake up and play the word games with you or just simply talk.
    From now on my mornings will be even more boring.

    None of my friends is able to post in my mornings. Might be a good sign: forget about the forums and focus on your work!

    This is from the summet of one of the highest peaks around Loch Ness. Nowhere near Ben Nevis but a decent view of Loch Ness.
