    DTV Converter Question

    We hope you can clarify the DTV converter box issue with our motorhome. Do we need to purchase a converter box for our motorhome TV, or will the place we camp at have the right digital connection for us? Please clarify this dilemma.

  • Heavenly Directions

    My father was a member of the United States Navy when I was young, so I spent a lot of time moving from station to station with my parents. Since my mother was somewhat directionally challenged at the time, I was forced to learn how to read a map

  • Albany “” The Georgia One, That Is

    There are 28 cities in the United States named Albany, but after immersing yourself in the confines of Albany, Georgia, you’ll likely be willing to testify that it cannot be topped.

    Just when you thought you had life figured out, it seems that somewhere along the line the rules changed.
