My "grandies" left at 7:30pm to drive part way back to Ohio. I did not learn of any newsworthy happenings in Plainfield over the weekend so will have to wait until the newspapers come in the morning if I find material for my blog.
However I can not hold back a true story. The place and the individuals must remain unmentioned; Sunday night while the Masters was still being televised went to dinner in a nearby eating establishment that had a TV on in the dinning room. There were only a few others there since it was still early so my Granddaughter asked if the station could be changed to show the golf tournament.
After a while I noticed that there was text scrolling across the screen reflecting the announcer's words. The manager also noticed it and asked the individual who had adjusted the TV about it, and we heard his explanation; "I did it for the blind people"
A true story.
