I am sure that many people who are my age remember the T.V show called Lost in Space. I spent many hours watching the show and still love it till this day. Anyway, I was saddened to hear that one of the key players in the show died today. His name was Dick Tufeld and he was the voice of the robot.

Dicks most famous line was when he said “Danger, Will Robinson!” it became one of the best catch phrases ever. Dick was 85 and started a new adventure this week when he died at his home. Goodbye Dick.

In an age where so much of the daily television lineup consists of so-called “reality” TV, it’s refreshing to stumble across the rare educational program that manages to both captivate and educate its’ audience at the same time. For me, Mythbusters is the best show on TV today that teaches its’ viewers about science in a unique and exciting new format. Science isn’t just for geeks anymore; it has finally moved into the mainstream and become cool. With humorous and knowledgeable hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, along with their band of wacky, tech-savy co-hosts Grant Imahara, Kari Byron and Tony Belleci, they work to find answers to the plausibility of viewer-submitted myths. Utilizing theories derived from a variety of scientific disciplines including, physics, biology, and chemistry, this talented group of individuals is able to find real-world answers to some of the most persistent myths around. Covering myths from numerous subject areas such as animals, sports, technology, and food, these experts either prove or disprove many popular ideas. Have you ever wondered: Are elephants really afraid of mice? Can salsa actually eat through the iron bars of a jail cell? Does mixing beer and liquor really make you sick? The Mythbusters are here to answer those questions for you amidst humorous banter that solidifies the overall appeal of the show. Mythbusters airs every Wednesday night on the Discovery Channel on www.tvbydirect.com. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in seeing exactly how much of our daily lives actually revolve around science.

I took the family out for some fun this Memorial Day. We went on a white water rafting trip in Fredericksburg Va. I bought a few rafts for us to float down the river on and we had a great time. The water was warm and pleasant and we all got soaked to the bone.

The kids had the best time of all as they got to do many things they have never done before. It was good to see them deal with new things and grow up a little. We also had a cookout and that worked out well too. I always say that family fun is the best kind.

One thing I like is that I have family all across the United States. It seems that I am always hearing from some cousin or another from different states. I recently heard from my cousin randy who lives in Arkansas. He recently bought a house and is doing very well. He asked that I give him some advice on how to best protect his home from the many threats that are consistent with this age.

Randy has two kids and I know he wants to keep them safe. There are many threats including fires, floods, and even carbon monoxide. That’s not to mention burglars and thieves. I told randy to check out home security barling. I knew they could help him get the protection he needed. They are leaders in the field of home security.

Randy had some other questions as well. He loves to watch his football games and wanted to know what the best way to do that was. I told him to check out DirectTV as an option. They could provide him with all the programming he could want at an affordable rate. I am sure that randy and his family will do well in their new home. I wish them all the luck in the world and am glad to know I could help them stay safe and entertained.
