"Since when can weathermen predict the weather, let alone the future?" - Back to the Future - Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox)
We THOUGHT we were rejoining technology by getting a TV and a Direct TV satellite dish. Unfortunately, for the first 2 weeks all we had was black and white TV - even the American channels. Seems like we've gone back to the early 1960's! I'm hoping it's the weather.
Color is now working on the TV. We only get a few channels in English. Oddly enough, the very first movie I watched was Back to the Future. So appropriate! When Marty Fly goes back to the 50's from 1984 to see his hometown, the first two things he sees are still in action here in Uruguay. He sees a gas station where the attendants pump the gas for customers and a car driving with a loudspeaker on top making announcements. Yep, I see this every day!
