One of the modern day habits I left behind is the daily news on television. It is possible to get American television stations, thus it’s pretty easy to stay tuned to what the American media has to say.

Every few months or so, I sit down and take in a dose of morning shows like Today and Good Morning America. That’s turned out to be quite enough. In one morning I learned that one woman tried to kill her husband like three times and got caught by an undercover cop. Chasity Bono is now Chaz Bono. And the medical profession has down a big switch on how effective and when to get mammograms.

What we knew was true, swore to be true often changes. I remember when Chasity was a cute little girl on the Sonny and Cher show. And how many times have we found out one thing we do in the medical world is just plain bad for us or wrong or upside down? My father’s family grew up eating bacon and pig fat. And plenty of it. They swore by it.

I think I’ll cling to nothing that seems logical. And, I think I’ll watch perhaps even a little bit less of those morning shows.
