At one time, the only option was to use a TV antenna.  There was no cable.  You still can turn on your TV set and see a lot of channels for free.  In most cities, just with a home antenna, you will have access to 50 or more stations, and as many as 175 in the Los Angeles area.  These are full HD 1080, with 5.1 surround sound.   You can cut off from cable, but watch out for scams.  For one,  there is no 150-mile TV antenna .  In fact, 70 miles would be the acceptable maximum.  Also, no 4K broadcasts yet. However, most of us have some form of cable.  But there are still all kinds of free movie/series sources.  You need a supporting device, as for example Amazon Prime, apple TV, smart phones, Playstation 3, Roku, smart RVs, Blu-ray players, web browsers, etc., and here is one  list of the best free streaming services : #1    Freevee Click here . Clunky interface. Part of the Amazon Prime family. #2   Roku Channel Download on mobile phones and tablets, or through the web. Buy a Roku from $

President Joe Biden made two talks in Europe: Yesterday at  D-Day ceremonies in Normandy, France.  Today  along the cliffs of Pointe de Hoc about heroism . The value of democracy and how we got here fades with the passage of time.   Who remembers  that 4,415 allied troops, including 2,501 Americans were killed on D-Day 80 years ago.  Worse, in the ensuing Battle of Normandy, 73,000 Allied forces were killed and 153,000 wounded.  German deaths?  between 4,000 and 9,000.   For the sake of tomorrow, let me provide a comparison:        Democracy                                                            Dictatorship        Heroes                                                              Suckers and Losers        Trustworthy                                                            Liar  Liar  Liar        Solid Citizen                                                       Convicted Felon        Green Energy                                                           Fossil Fuels        Su

I liked this month of May.  We completed our 53-day around the world trip, and came home healthy.  I did gain 7 pounds, but by yesterday found out that I had lost 7.5 pounds of that. The World did okay too, if you are not Trump, Netanyahu or Red Lobster.   For example, that disquieting  unified reich  matter might have been a clerical error, but Truth Social did carry it, for a while, and any reference to Hitler can't help a presidential campaign. Red Lobster was one of ten companies going bankrupt this month.  I remember a bunch of  new restaurant openings in Florida going back as far as 1968  with Red Lobster.  Many of them, like Outback Steakhouse, LongHorn Steakhouse and Olive Garden seem to be having financial problems these days.  Fast food chains are doing well, and so are high end restaurants.  It is this middle category that is affected by consumer adjustments. Is it possible we now have a working U.S. Congress? They passed 50 measures in May, and all became public laws .
