I click on the articles that sound interesting. Sometimes I read them right then, sometimes, I'll "read them later" because "I'm busy." What that means is that I've probably got several hundred Smithsonian article tabs open in my browser right now dating back about 1.5 years https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/when-new-york-became-americas-last-slave-trading-port-cuban-spy-tried-stop-it-180977178/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/intricate-renaissance-armor-stolen-40-years-ago-recovered-police-180977170/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/rare-meteorite-found-uk-driveway-could-hold-secrets-early-solar-system-180977212/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/hurricanes-reveal-1800s-shipwreck-on-floridas-east-coast-180981276/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/crypto-investors-buy-the-constitution-dao-180981264/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/****-stolen-beethoven-manuscript-returned-to-original-owners-180981251/ (Wow, seriously? The forum censored the 4 letter word for Hitler's minions that starts with an N and ends with an i) OK, I'll leave the useless link and provide another. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/cookbook-was-vicious-attack-oliver-cromwells-wife-180977233/

I was on the phone with Comcast for over an hour yesterday changing my triple play account.
The only channel I asked to add was 'The Smithsonian' I deleted a whole bunch of others.
