The channels I watch most have to do with history, travel, geography and anything that has to do with information and learning.
I love learning about the planet, cultures and various parts of the world.
Just the other night there was an hour long program on new Inca discoveries in Peru and having been there I was more than just a little interested as I had been to those exact places.
 
I really enjoy those things, too. However, Mae Lyne watches the chick flick stuff, medical shows, and crime shows. My dad watches sports. Thus I watch very little TV. I never have been much of a TV person anyway; I'd rather read.
 
Rocky the other night on Discovery they had a program about the Onondaga Museum and how the hauled the sub from Halifax around the coast. It was really something to see especially having seen all your photo of the area. I am sure I recognized the light house where they hauled it onto the land BGRIN

Yes, that's a pretty cool story - and that was a long haul!! There was lots of wartime activity here with German submarines prowling around the mouth of the harbour waiting to try and sink the convoys - unfortunately, with quite a bit of success:y8:
Having been to a place, seeing pictures or at least knowing something about a place adds new meaning to a story. That's part of the joy I get from a TV documentry.
In this case, you got to see a little bit of this area and recognized some thingsTUP
Halifax is the east coast base for the Canadian Navy so lots of activity here.
 
Also I could relate to the story of needing the high tide to float it up onto the land having seen some of those photos of the boats in those small harbours. It was a very cool program to watch

There's only one thing a Marine hates more than the Navy.....that's someone else's Navy :y2:

You can take the Jarhead out of the Marines, but you can't take the Marines out of a Jarhead.....or something like that???
 
I was Navy AJ, have a Marine buddy and we enjoy giving each other crap. I said "you know the Marines are part of the Department of the Navy", his response "yeah the men's department"...LOL
 
OK, OK, enough with making fun of the Canadian Navy:y14:

At least we upgraded from the birch bark canoes and bows and arrows that we had last year:y15:
i wouldn't worry about it rocky! the brit navy has got so small now ,that matchbox toys are going to do scale models of all three ships !:y2:
