We are the 2% (No relation to the 1%)

I read in The Week this week that 98% of US households have a TV. We are not one of them.

The cable guy was here today because we moved the router to a different part of the house. We get internet service from the cable company but, having no TV, we do not get cable. The cable guy, a chunky fellow who I'm pretty sure had been in a dunk tank full of cologne before coming into our home, was more than a little weirded out that we didn't have a TV.

"Whoa," he said several times. "I've only seen this once before with family that was homeschooling their children and I was there hooking up their cable for the first time. It was crazy; these kids were so excited to get just 13 channels that their dad was giving them because they had been so good."

Sometimes it is fun to be the weirdest part of someone's day.
