[Leica] IMG: Local TV Channels

[Jim Nichols]

Frank, I have no use for Social Media, though the younger generations of 
my family enjoy it.  Old TV reruns and many sports events are just 
wasted BW as far as I am concerned.  I follow teams with which I have a 
connection, and record a few favorite shows for evening watching.

However, as a former pilot, who lost his medical certificate many years 
ago, I do follow activities at the local airport.  In good weather, I 
visit and talk with friends who work there.  At other times, it is nice 
to have an eye on the place from home.  I commend the cable company for 
their efforts.
