to a new TV box. Forced obsolescence via Shaw cable.
Many fine programs we’ve had to review one last time most likely. Show such as several New Year’s Vienna concerts with the excellent Philharmonic and the Vienna Ballet. “On the Beautiful Danube” played several times with accompanying footage of the orchestra, Vienna architecture, and places along the glorious river valley between Vienna and Budapest.
An excellent, beautiful Oregon coast from the air documentary.
Several of the Escape to the Country shows.
A couple of PBS Nature series shows on butterflies and rabbits.
The rare black and white shot in Scandinavia of Peter Brook’s King Lear starring Paul Scofield.
A couple of PBS shows on the furthest realms of our solar system.
A wonderful visual documentary of New York City from its streets and from the air at different times of the day.
The latter two I bought on video, subsequently.
This morning as the snow fell on the first day of spring, we saw more of the above, and will clear the old PVR deck this evening on what is promising to be an another entertaining at-home day.
All that beauty, all that culture, all of some of the best of Western civilization still remaining in an ever-increasing ugly, chaotic, corrupt world of trucker convoys, steady lies and falsehoods, and the ongoing pandemic winter. But the New Years concerts will be back as well as other precious Nature and spiritual viewing experiences when we connect the new machine in another week. Upward and onward, I say.
