I sure agree. I haven't had to do so recently, because they haven't tried to 
turn it on much lately.

Jennifer is picked on for anything and everything. She can be a really nice 
kid. One of her good friends in Girl Scouts came to me privately and said 
that she didn't understand why Jennifer gets picked on so much at school. She 
said "Jennifer really *doesn't* deserve it." I was glad to hear that, because 
coming from Sarah, I knew it was honest and not just something she thought 
would sound good.

Yup, at the private RV parks anyway. You won't find them (yet) at state and 
national parks or forests, or other public campgrounds. Woodalls and Trailer 
Life seem to mark which ones have cable hookups. Most new trailers, 5th 
wheels and motorhomes have cable ability in them.
Another thing that parks are starting to get are phone hookups, so that folks 
with laptops and modems can hook into phone services in much the same way as 
hotels and motels. The top of the line RVs are coming with phone ability, and 
as an option on the lesser models.

I'm glad you explained what it was...I didn't know, either. When I explained 
that my kids don't watch the major 4 networks, I should have explained that 
we don't either. We occasionally watch the local news on the CBS 
affiliate...but not always. (I get my news from the newspaper and 
occasionally I turn on CNN Headline News).
Ya know what we watched last night, and this was the first TV I'd watched in 
weeks other than CNN and Weather Channel? "30 Years of Mayberry" - TBS ran a 
"remember when" show about the Andy Griffith Show.
