Another Day, Another Dollar

I drove over to Fayetteville today. I used going to the VA to see if I could get the travel money they owe me, but I went mostly just to get outta town for a while. There was a fine mist in the air the whole time I was gone. It never did rain, but the mist was continuous for hours. There was something very eerie about that mist. I slowed down to the speed limit because i thought it might make the road slick.

I looked for an TV signal amplifier while I was over in Fayetteville. They have a lot more stores over there. Everywhere I went they were out of stock on just about anything to do with over-the-air digital antennas. I get lousy reception here. I'm half-way between the State capitol and Wilmington, and when the weather is the slightest bit off I can't get a strong signal from either. The only way I can get a better signal is to buy a signal amplifier. I have one now, but it's not up to the task. I'll probably just wait for a while and see if there is a better solution.
