No slugs, now

Little story: sometime around '50-52 (I'll have to ask my Dad) my grandfather had a particularly good harvest and decided to splurge and buy a TV. He did it while the kids were in school so to surprise them. At the time the nearest place to buy them was the Ford dealer (!) which carried Motorola and Bendix. My grandfather said the Motorola was noticeably better so he got it. The deal was that it had to installed, including antenna, before the school bus arrived that afternoon, and they succeeded. Interesting to think that this couldn't have been too many years after they got electric. May have still had an outhouse then? Okay-back to your regularly scheduled programming...
