So many fictional disaster movies have been made that I can’t but wonder why Hollywood doesn’t take one of America’s most dramatic tragedies and do a feature on it. Cameron did the epic Titanic. So how about some producer doing the Hindenburg? The actual location of the event in the Pinelands remains today much like it was back in the 30’s. In fact the part metal buildings there then still in good condition and being used.

In touring a coastal Mid-Atlantic seaport village, my Mom came upon a small one room schoolhouse complete with authentic period of time school furniture. People forget how many of them existed well into the middle of the last century in remote rural areas. The building would have made a perfect set for movies like High Noon or shows like Little House on the Prairie about times gone by. With green screens and computer technology, that school could look like locations all over the U. S.A.

Education really matters, a point that isn’t always made clear on television. There is no such thing as an over educated person. We can always learn more. Sure many of us are caught up in work and busy lives, but there is still ways for us to earn our next degree. All we need is a computer, Internet service, and the will to do. There are many institutions currently on line that offer an online degree. They are flexible, affordable, and even allow the enrolee the ability to accelerate his program. Don’t settle for anything. check out Western Governors Online University and its programs. An online business degree will open a lot of employment doors for you..

I think we’re getting closer and closer to a time where we see different electronics integrated. Sony came out with a Sony VAIO PC that did TV long ago. The computer was built right into the back of a flat panel screen. I have always thought that the sony laptops and televisions had gorgeous pictures. I am sure this does too. I think this is the way that technology is going. It would save time and space to be able to use a flat panel tv on a dresser or furniture as both a television and a computer. I don’t think I’d like it mounted on a wall though, I wouldn’t like havingt to look that far to see my computer screen. What do you think of having combination television.computers?

No I don’t mean the talking truck toy, I mean talking about trucks. On television when we see trucks they’re usually fancy looking, often times with lots of gadgets and options. I seem to wind up in our local parts store just about every week. they carry lots of truck accessories but only the usual ones. Wouldn’t television channels dedicated to specific makes of cars be a great way to get ideas and shop?

For a while there were vitamin commercials on television. I’m not talking about women and the recommended prenatal vitamins, I’m talking about multi vitamins. I don’t see them anymore. Ironically, we’ll spend half a day looking for vitamin pills to make us live longer, then drive 90 miles an hour to make up for lost time. That reminds me of a joke.

Knock Knock.

Who?s there?

Vitamin.

Vitamin who?

Vitamin for a party!

You see folks on a treadmill from time to time on television. A scene with a character exercising isn’t nearly as interesting or amusing as a chase scene. Have you ever noticed these things?
• If the person you are chasing has just taken the elevator down from the 20th floor, you will be able to get to the street quicker than he can by running down the stairs.
• If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St. Patrick’s Day parade - at any time of the year.
• A person being pursued will always stop and throw something at the person chasing them - even though it takes three times longer to stop and throw the obstacles than it does for the person chasing to jump over them

Did you ever notice that on television that don’t really show characters trying to find a job? It’s true. They will mention characters being unemployed but they don’t usually get into the reality of job hunting and interviewing. They could make a reality show out of what not to do on interviews. That could be funny and provide a learning experience, don’t you think?
