100 years of Television

This is not really relevant to anything, but I have been to Daytona Beach exactly once - to go and buy some Chris Kinman pickups for my Fender Stratocaster from Randy at The Guitar Attic on Ridgewood Avenue !

I also watched the launch of NASA’s Dawn probe to the asteroid belt in 2007, from Jetty Park Pier in Port Canaveral.

A rocket launch is well worth making a detour to see if you get the chance.

There is nothing like watching a Saturn V launch at night. Unforgettable.

Yeah Ridgewood Ave. I’ve spent about 60 years of my life in and near Daytona. It was much nicer in the early 60s.

Except maybe attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

…or C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate? All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain…

I would have loved to have seen that.

Anybody remember “Four Feather Falls”?

A bit more from the Manhattan box.

“You can buy the box and never pay a penny for content again” – here’s how Manhattan’s plucky new streaming box is addressing a major issue | What Hi-Fi?

Such poetry by Roy Batty. aka the late Rutger Hauer. But why ‘tears in rain’ and not ‘in the rain?’
Tannhäuser Gate is from German mythology , reimagined as a ‘warp gate.’
i remember the movie to this day and have seen it many times.
Pity Blade Runner 2 was such a disappointment

Today’s Trivia Fact: Because that line was improvised by Rutger Hauer during the filming, and he was Dutch. :slight_smile:

Isn’t it annoying that it takes so long for the smart TV and, in our case, the SFR TV decoder to boot before you get something to watch? You used to just turn it on and the programme was there straight away. Such is progress!

Same as adverts, a time to relieve your self, poor a glass of something before getting comfortable
