When we moved from California to Virgina last year, we particularly noticed two things that were different. 1) Nobody, and I mean nobody, in Virginia knows how to merge onto the freeway, or whatever they call them here, and 2) they have to watch TV all the time, everywhere.

They can’t live without it, apparently. We go to the local Rec Center and it’s blasting in the lobby on a gi-normous screen. You can’t sit down and relax without hearing Greta Van Susteren’s ear-shattering voice. You go upstairs to work out and there’s 7 (that’s seven) TVs in a row in front of your stationary bike.

You might decide to go to the post office to mail a letter and they’re blasting CNN. Head on over to the bank and there you have to watch (or at least listen to) Fox News again, while doing that balance transfer.

That’s why (and I’m going to sound like a commercial here) I love Tivo. It tapes stuff by itself, and then you sit down and watch it when you feel like it. Personally, I prefer to choose for myself when I want to watch TV and what exactly I want to watch.

But perhaps that’s just me…

I really, really don’t want to watch Lou Dobbs at the DMV! (Or anywhere else, for that matter. Yeesh!)
