10-97 (7/4/23) -- Flickering Screens

Early this morning much lightning appeared with very little thunder. Rain had been falling overnight and was around most of the day. Temperatures were very chilly especially after the warmth of the past couple of days. We chose to visit a museum in the afternoon since it was too wet for a walk. Many other people chose a similar activity. The place was filled with families, which was great to see -- so much better than just parking kids in front of a flickering screen. I was moved by a great hallway display of tributes to women of science. Seeing so many women highlighted in such a busy public space felt great. 

After an early supper, we settled in with a binge watch of several episodes of a TV drama from a few years ago. Advertisements for the channel seemed much longer than the program segments -- so very repetitive. So, I ended my day doing exactly what I was pleased to see kids not doing <grin>. We had searched for something of interest to watch before we settled. With so many channels available it seemed bizarre that finding a program to view was so difficult. That, of course, reminded me of a song. While the numbers are far less than what we looked through today, the sentiment is much the same. Keep safe. Enjoy!
