    Not when you have to call for an ambulance, I don't think a Radio would work, do you? Also I live in a City and have 2 cell towers about a mile and half away, and I have TO go out side and walk to the corner to anything over one BAR on my cell phone. It been that way for the last decade...

  11. Re:Amateur chemistry is all but impossible now on Citizen Science: Who Makes the Rules? · · Score: 1

    I still remember in the mid-80s, a friend had an experiment explode, it put holes in his shirt and holes in the ceiling tiles, the best part is was an Fireman who would worked on Chemical Fires, which is why he had to take the class in the first place. He didn't get arrested or anything, but he did learn a valuable lesson that day.

  12. Channel 11, WTTW?, it was PBS, also had great shows out of Chicago, when I was little I used to watch Ray Raynor(sp?) and the show that followed it, that had puppets on WGN that was before I went to school, they moved the guy who did the show with puppet to Bozo at noon, I believe. I may not have lived in Chicago, but I could pick up WGN and PBS and few others, at least until I got Cable which had those channels also. Television is not bad if you watch educational shows, which is why my parents never complained, I would watch them instead of a Movie on TV if I could.
