Jim,

I think I'm in a similar situation. I took down the TV antenna several years ago, the radio is on CBC for 3 minutes at 6:13 AM and I might listen to CBC radio if I'm in the car. I stopped the provincial daily newspaper a couple of years ago and get a weekly regional (Gotta find out what the neighbors are going to be up to).
Other than that, if it wasn't for a couple of sites I hit, it's "out of sight, out of mind" and I sleep better.

Re: Is anyone else totally disconnected?
 

I can proudly say I've never listened to testicular radio, although I read mammarian braille every now and then.

Jim,
I'm with you... don't need or want what passes for news now a days... books on tape (actually CD's) or Christian radio is all I listen to in the car. My TV is all PBS, Discovery channel, SpeedTV, ESPN, etc.

If I could move to a tropical island with a good pile of books I could totally disconnect... but haven't won the lottery yet!

Indeed. There are people who watch the news daily......and don't know how many states there are. Of course, we call these people "conservatives." Just kidding. sort of.

Really, I was kidding. sort of.

I've been driving the 911 lately, which provides me with all the audio entertainment I need. There is no radio in that vehicle. I never, ever watch TV news, except in the morning to see the traffic ticker. Once a week, maybe, I will take the time to sit and eat lunch and when I do, I get a newspaper.

So yeah, I'm disconnected.

I'm less disconnected than I would be if I watched TV news each day.

I am on the internet for 8+ hours a day. A complete and utter junkie.

Look who I met this morning in the field. He did not want us in the yard and no one was home but we needed to get this one done in 1 trip so we were going in the yard if he liked it or not.

I was taking pics of house for client and shot this crappy short vid of him getting upset with me going in his yard.

The first time I went over the fence (gate locked) he tried to bite me was I was coming over once I landed he took off running and kept his distance. I have gotten pretty good at reading dogs over the years, I have only met 3 in 10 years that would not let me in the yard.

Have a nice evening fellas I am off to my sons school for a parents workshop.

How's the new school working out? Everything back to normal? Hopefully so.

I feel the same in a way. No TV, only news paper I read is the WSJ and only once a week. I come to PPOT about every day though.
