I was just wondering how many of you have ever been on TV. I read a statistic that stated that "One in every 4 Americans has appeared on television!" So, there are more than 4 bloggers out there and that would mean that one of them has appeared on TV. OK, I must admit that I was on TV once that I know of. I was at one of the G.P.A.A's outings (Gold Prospectors of America Association) at Stanton, Arizona, and was interviewed by Tom Massie. Tom is a great guy and I am not just saying that because he is bigger than I am. Here is a picture of my wife and I with Tom:
This was taken back in 2008. To give you an idea how big he is, I am 5'-11" tall. I went to a couple of their outing in Arizona and I don't remember which time I was interviewed.
I often wondered what gave Thomas Edison the inspiration to invent the light bulb. I never knew the reason until I was researching something else and came across the fact that Edison was afraid of the dark! So now it makes sense. . . that is why he invented the light bulb. Right?
Now you all have bright and happy and great day, today, you hear?
Well, I guess you couldn't say a light bulb lit up above his head like it does in the comic strips when Popeye gets an idea. Maybe it was a candle that dripped hot wax and he said "ouch! ,hmmm, got to be a better way". Good looking picture, you and the pup look a little gray around the gills.
ReplyDeleteThat was six years ago and I all my hair and beard is white now.
DeleteI have been on TV too many times:)
ReplyDeleteI bet there are some good stories about those times.
DeleteI have been on television several times. Some were only with radio news personality asking for an opinion on the sidewalk. Once, I was on television daily for a week as a protestor.
ReplyDeleteI hope your protesting was for a good cause and it worked.
DeleteI like Edison ... haha.... and YEP I've been on the teevee... when I was a teenager, our local TV station KTAL Channel 6 in Texarkana had a dance show like American Bandstand ... but you understand on a much smaller scale ;)
