Somehow I need to find a way to get my VHS tapes to DVDs. Then I could get rid of this tv which has built in DVD and VHS players. It is the only way I have of seeing Caedfel series and the Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy. I guess I could just come up with the money and buy them in DVD but....
I saw a piece of news, not the whole thing, but the part that said a law was proposed? to make it illegal to throw away plastic bottles. I am guessing that excludes recycling them. What will all the places do which do not recycle?? I know some places which throw away more cans and plastic bottles in a week than I go through in a year. If everyone recycles will the people who use this material be inundated with plastic??? I am reducing the number of plastic bottles I buy by cutting out sodas. I still have to buy water because I refuse to drink my home water. Sometimes when it comes out the first thing in the morning, it smells as if it came straight from the swamp. Other times it tastes as if it has baking soda in it. Anyway I recycle so just fuss at me for paying for water.
I do love Saturdays on public tv. First the Antiques Roadshow lets us see people emote over the old vase they had in the basement which is really worth thousands of dollars, then my personal favorite, Rick Steves, shows us the non-tourist places to go somewhere in Europe. His show was in Poland on Saturday last. I was amazed at how charming and modern Warsaw and Krakow were. Don't you just want to jump on a plane and visit those places??
If you get up at 6:15 on Sunday morning to go to early church, you have time after dressing, eating, and walking the dog to watch NC Spin on WRAL at 6:30am. Great show and they discuss topics relevant to us here in North Carolina. One topic this am was the use of roundabouts to reduce traffic accidents. Interestingly enough, I had heard on some other news program just yesterday, that some cities in the Netherlands had done away with traffic signs and signals altogether. Most people approved saying it makes everyone more aware and accountable. The video showed drivers watching out for those on bicycles and cyclists watching out for pedestrians and walkers watching out for everyone. Hmmmmmm!
Having made Julia's Boeuf Bourgingnon a second time, I think I have the recipe down. Yummmm. You just want to take a thick piece of bread and dip it into the gravy.
It is time to put on another layer of a painting demo for our watercolor group on Tues at the church.
Happy Labor Day
