When you tip a person who's only held a door open for you.
When you 'toupee watch' on the local news channels.
When you watch the episode of 'Top Gear' you already saw ten times before and think its fascinating.
When you can barely remember what pate tastes like and consider packing your own bags at the supermarket too much like exercise.

Best part of local TV. 
That and the guy on the "local" channel playing the accordian.
I did this before I got here. 
Normally over a few beers.

You will love that Roku. You have Amazon Prime by any chance? They work together really well and all the free streaming makes your Prime account well worth that 80 bucks.

I thought that was just in my town!! The newsreader on our local tv is only in his 30's and he wears a toupee. Even after four years here I still marvel at it and wonder why anyone would think it's better than a bit of baldness.

Between Amazon Prime and Netflix, we can get all the TV/movies we want, and I'll keep with the laptop for news.

When you open a can of soup and without thinking make a sandwich to go with it.
