    I imagine it was easier on you once they invented tin foil that you could put on your arms to improve the reception... Jim

      It was the invention of the coat hanger that really made the difference.

        worst thing in the world was to be watching a favorite show while staying at the grandparents (rural farmland) on a rainy afternoon, and hear a clap of thunder,

        grandma unplugged everything, not just turn it off, physically unplug,


        they had a close lightning strike once the fried a few things, so no more chances taken,



        didn't matter if you had seen that rerun 10x's,,

        it was still

        THE

        WORST

        THING
