I did catch "Hard Core Pawn" a couple of weeks ago. Centered on a pawn shop on 8-Mile, in Detroit. People actually watch this nonsense?

I keep cable (actually satellite) just to watch real news with Amy Goodman and FSTV and Link TV, And HBO always has some good original programing.

But, I'm really enjoying the pool and lanai. We had new screens installed around the pool over the week-end It's a tighter mesh to keep out those goddamned no see-ums. No see-ums are carnivorous little bastards that can fit through a normal screen, and eat your ass alive. I've spent the last couple of evenings out here, cooking burgers and brats, with a few cocktails and haven't gotten so much as a nibble from them.
