Three Things

 1.  For the past month, I've been in the process of replacing the TV in the bedroom....with the German TV tech sales guy trying to sell me on a smart-TV situation.  

So far, he's been to the house twice....having major issues in getting the TV to connect to the satellite dish splitter.  

It just seems like all this 'smart-TV' chatter....is mostly BS.  I don't even want it connected to the house WI-FI network.  Just get me 12 freaking channels off the satellite.

2.  Just an enormous amount of chatter this week of property tax increases (more than doubling what they were before).  Communities are in desperation mode....with budgets overflowing, and no ability to cut budget.

3.  Interesting throughout this week....on German public TV....a lot of public forum shows with Health Minister Lauterbach appearing.  Chief-cheerleader for Chancellor Scholz?  Well.....after a while, you get the impression that the moderators are doing their part to give favorable views of the Chancellor and his success stories (what few there are).
