National Parks
http://www.pbs.org/nationalparks/
I am enjoying the inter-National Television debut of National Parks though I wonder if
all the pre-publicity and Ken Burn's busy PLUG schedule did much other then to stir the
beans. Might it not have been better to share that time with any of the organizations
referred to in the production?
I am watching National Parks with the same enthusiasm I had many years ago when our family gathered about the TV to watch Wonderful World of Disney only this time, we watch it with HI Def TIVO recording and three TV's going in three parts of the house.
I enjoyed the 10 questions page in Life Magazine and admired Mr. Burns desire not to be in the limelight and the reference to the previous administration. Curious though as to why only your youngest daughter accompanied you to The Arches?
I enjoy the series and have heard lots of; wows, never knew that’s', really, I'm going to go there’s' which is certainly refreshing to hear with today’s Television Programming.
Hat's off to Ken Burns co-producer Dayton Duncan.
Two episodes down and four to go and I hope not to miss a second!

Get it while you can
Picked up a 'free copy' of a demo/ad for Ken Burn's National Parks at Barnes and Noble. Hurry they were going fast. It's worth the watch.
Mark Twain was a lefty and a couple of other little known facts

Points out that, Pbs.org gives this little know fact: "Mark Twain was a lifelong creator and keeper of scrapbooks. He took them with him everywhere and filled them with souvenirs, pictures, and articles about his books and performances. But in time, he grew tired of the lost glue, rock-hard paste, and the swearing that resulted from the standard scrapbook process. So, he came up with the idea of printing thin strips of glue on the pages to make updates neat and easy to do. In 1872, he patented his “self-pasting” scrapbook, and by 1901, at least 57 different types of his albums were available. It would be his only invention that ever made money."
