Cruel Delta TVs
This past Wednesday I had a long flight from Boston to Salt Lake. I was eventually going on to Reno, more on that later. I settled into my first class seat around 4:30, had a diet coke and read the paper, waiting to head off to Utah. The plane was equipped with TVs on the seat in front and I was pretty excited when I saw in the paper that ESPN was going to carry the Yankee game and that the TVs got ESPN. After take off, I was going to order a drink, eat some dinner, and when 7PM came around, watch the Yankee game and finish The Wal-Mart Effect.
So at 6:55 I turned on the TV, which was working on the default channel, NBC. I quickly checked FoxNews and CNN to see if everything was well on terra earth. Well, guess what one channel did not work. Uh huh, ESPN. The only channel out of 18 that did not work was the one channel I wanted to watch. Oh, don't get me wrong, learning about magnets on The Discovery Channel was equally as great, but I was looking forward to basically sitting in a lazy boy for the next 3 hours with someone bringing me free drinks every 30 minutes with the Yankees on in the background.
Oh well, life goes on.
